Inhibition of human factor IXa by human antithrombin.
Journal of Biological Chemistry 1975 December 11
A procedure is presented for the purification of Factor IX from human plasma. The final product is homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis and sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, it is completely free of other coagulation component activities. Factor IX is converted to its enzymatically active form by the addition of small quantities of Factor IXa in the presence of calcium ions. This activated species is added to purified antithrombin-heparin cofactor and the interaction is studied in the presence and absence of heparin. Antithrombin-heparin cofactor is found to be a progressive, time-dependent inhibitor of Factor IXa and neutralizes approximately 57% of this enzyme's proteolytic activity within 30 min. The addition of heparin dramatically accelerates the rate of this interaction with virtually complete inhibition of Factor IXa occurring within 15 s. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of reduced and nonreduced proteins indicates that antithrombin-heparin cofactor functions as a potent inhibitor of Factor IXa by forming an undissociable complex with the enzyme which is stable in the presence of denaturing or reducing agents (or both). This complex represents a 1:1 stoichiometric combination of enzyme and inhibitor. Heparin increases the rate of formation of this complex without affecting its dissociability or stoichiometry.
