PubMed AbstractCoagulation factor Va (FVa) is the cofactor component of the prothrombinase complex required for rapid generation of thrombin from prothrombin in the penultimate step of the coagulation cascade. In ...Coagulation factor Va (FVa) is the cofactor component of the prothrombinase complex required for rapid generation of thrombin from prothrombin in the penultimate step of the coagulation cascade. In addition, FVa is a target for proteolytic inactivation by activated protein C (APC). Like other protein-protein interactions in the coagulation cascade, the FVa-APC interaction has long posed a challenge to structural biology and its molecular underpinnings remain unknown. A recent cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of FVa has revealed the arrangement of its A1-A2-A3-C1-C2 domains and the environment of the sites of APC cleavage at R306 and R506. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of the FVa-APC complex at 3.15 Å resolution in which the protease domain of APC engages R506 in the A2 domain of FVa through electrostatic interactions between positively charged residues in the 30-loop and 70-loop of APC and an electronegative surface of FVa. The auxiliary γ-carboxyglutamic acid and epidermal growth factor domains of APC are highly dynamic and point to solvent, without making contacts with FVa. Binding of APC displaces a large portion of the A2 domain of FVa and projects the 654VKCIPDDDEDSYEIFEP670 segment as a "latch," or exosite ligand, over the 70-loop of the enzyme. The latch induces a large conformational change of the autolysis loop of APC, which in turn promotes docking of R506 into the primary specificity pocket. The cryo-EM structure of the FVa-APC complex validates the bulk of existing biochemical data and offers molecular context for a key regulatory interaction of the coagulation cascade.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
