Topic: Factor Xa



  
 CRISP - Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects, Abstract Display
A focal point is the study of proteolysis at Arg336 in the A1 subunit, a predominant site cleaved by both APC and factor Xa, and the influence of attack at this site on cleavage at more secondary sites.
Studies will focus on the A2 subunit based upon our observations that this subunit contains an extended factor IXa-interactive surface and that isolated A2 enhances the kcat for factor IXa-catalyzed activation of factor X. A primary effort will focus on experimentally assessing and refining our model for the A2-factor IXa interface.
The activated form of factor VIII, factor VIIIa, functions as a cofactor for the factor IXa-dependent activation of factor X, increasing the kcat for this reaction by several orders of magnitude.

 Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time
Therefore, in these situations, an alternative assay, such as the Heparin Antifactor Xa Assay, should be used rather than the PTT to monitor heparin.
Factor deficiencies that prolong PTT: The PTT is more sensitive to deficiencies of the intrinsic pathway (factors VIII, IX, XI, XII, prekallikrein, HMWK) than it is to deficiencies of the common pathway (fibrinogen, and factors II, V, and X).
The PTT is more sensitive to intrinsic pathway factor deficiencies than to common pathway factor deficiencies.

 Factor VIII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Upon activation by thrombin or factor Xa, it dissociates from the complex to interact with Factor IXa the coagulation cascade.
It is a cofactor to Factor IXa in the activation of Factor X, which, in turn, with its cofactor Factor Va, activates more thrombin.
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen into fibrin which polymerizes and crosslinks (using Factor XIII) into a blood clot.

 General Clotting Information
Factor V and factor VIII (shown in light green) accelerate the conversion of factor X to factor Xa by factor IXa (this is done by factor VIII) and accelerate the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin as done by factor Xa.
Factor Xa is then able to activate prothrombin (also referred to as factor II) to form thrombin (factor IIa).
Tissue factor and factor VIIa (the 'a' denotes the active form of the factor) activate factor X, forming factor Xa.

The resultant tissue factor pathway inhibitor/factor Xa (lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor/Xa) complexes bind to factor VIIa on tissue factor, giving rise to factor VIIa/tissue factor/tissue factor pathway inhibitor/factor Xa complexes that lack catalytic activity.
Factor X activation requires both routes for normal hemostasis, presumably because the catalytic activity of factor VIIa/tissue factor is inhibited as coagulation proceeds by a factor Xa-dependent mechanism.
Hemostasis, the arrest of bleeding from an injured blood vessel, requires the combined activity of vascular, platelet, and plasma factors counterbalanced by regulatory mechanisms to limit the accumulation of platelets and fibrin in the area of injury.

 THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 11, Ch. 131, Hemostasis And Coagulation Disorders
Coagulation occurs in steps: (1) Sequences of reactions in at least two pathways (the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways) activate serine protease proenzymes and form a prothrombin activator, which is a complex (of an enzyme; factor Xa; and two cofactors, factor Va and procoagulant phospholipid) on the surface of activated platelets or tissue cells.
Factor X activation requires both routes for normal hemostasis, presumably because the catalytic activity of factor VIIa/tissue factor is inhibited as coagulation proceeds by a factor Xa-dependent mechanism.
(Because commercial reagents and instrumentation vary widely, each laboratory should determine its own normal range; 28 to 34 sec is typical.) The PTT is sensitive to deficiencies of 30 to 40% of all clotting factors except factors VII and XIII.

Factor VIIa bound to tissue factor in the presence of calcium and phospholipids facilitates the conversion of factor IX to factors IXa and X to factor Xa.
In 1951, Alexander and colleagues identified factor VII as the key initiator of coagulation when they reported the first case of factor VII deficiency in a child and called it serum prothrombin conversion accelerator deficiency.
This facilitates conversion of factor VII to factor VIIa.

 Hepsin, a Putative Membrane-associated Serine Protease, Activates Human Factor VII and Initiates a Pathway of Blood Coagulation on the Cell Surface Leading to Thrombin Formation -- Kazama et al. 270 (1): 66 -- Journal of Biological Chemistry
In some of these tumor types, such as malignant melanoma, functional factor Xa has been observed without detectable tissue factor and factor VII antigen(44), suggesting that these cells synthesize cancer procoagulant, a cysteinyl protease(45), that activates factor X directly.
While tissue factor synthesis and expression by several tumor types has been implicated as the major contributor to fibrin deposition on these tumor cells, there are specific instances of tumor tissues that support fibrin formation yet lack immunoreactive tissue factor(7).
In addition, several tumor cells generate thrombin and fibrin without detectable cell-surface tissue factor, and precisely how this happens is unknown although cancer procoagulant A synthesis by these cells has been implicated in this mechanism(7).
