Allosteric activation of coagulation factor VIIa visualized by hydrogen exchange.
Coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) is a serine protease that, after binding to tissue factor (TF), plays a pivotal role in the initiation of blood coagulation. We used hydrogen exchange monitored by mass spectrometry to visualize the details of FVIIa activation by comparing the exchange kinetics of distinct molecular states, namely zymogen FVII, endoproteolytically cleaved FVIIa, TF-bound zymogen ...
متن کاملFusion of two distinct peptide exosite inhibitors of Factor VIIa.
Highly potent bifunctional inhibitors of Factor VIIa (FVIIa) were generated by linking two distinct peptides, recently shown to bind to two discrete exosites on the FVIIa protease domain [Dennis, Eigenbrot, Skelton, Ultsch, Santell, Dwyer, O'Connell and Lazarus (2000) Nature (London) 404, 465-470; Dennis, Roberge, Quan and Lazarus (2001) Biochemistry 40, 9513-9521; Roberge, Santell, Dennis, Eig...
متن کاملAntibody-mediated enhancement of Legionella pneumophila-induced interleukin 1 activity.
The ability of antibody specific for Legionella pneumophila to enhance the induction of interleukin 1 (IL-1) production by murine peritoneal, splenic, and pulmonary macrophages in response to the bacterium was examined. Two preparations of L. pneumophila were utilized, a formalin-killed whole-cell preparation and viable bacteria. We measured both secreted (sIL-1) and cell membrane-associated (m...
متن کاملSynaptic enhancement induced through callosal pathways in cat association cortex.
The corpus callosum plays a major role in synchronizing neocortical activities in the two hemispheres. We investigated the changes in callosally elicited excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) of neurons from cortical association areas 5 and 7 of cats under barbiturate or ketamine-xylazine anesthesia. Single pulses to callosal pathway evoked control EPSPs; pulse-trains were subsequently app...
متن کاملAllosteric regulation of deubiquitylase activity through ubiquitination
Ataxin-3, the protein responsible for spinocerebellar ataxia type-3, is a cysteine protease that specifically cleaves poly-ubiquitin chains and participates in the ubiquitin proteasome pathway. The enzymatic activity resides in the N-terminal Josephin domain. An unusual feature of ataxin-3 is its low enzymatic activity especially for mono-ubiquitinated substrates and short ubiquitin chains. How...
