ALPHA-THROMBIN (HIRUGEN) COMPLEXED WITH NA-(N,N-DIMETHYLCARBAMOYL)-ALPHA-AZALYSINE
Structural highlights
Disease[THRB_HUMAN] Defects in F2 are the cause of factor II deficiency (FA2D) [MIM:613679]. It is a very rare blood coagulation disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding symptoms. The severity of the bleeding manifestations correlates with blood factor II levels.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Genetic variations in F2 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.[13] Defects in F2 are the cause of thrombophilia due to thrombin defect (THPH1) [MIM:188050]. It is a multifactorial disorder of hemostasis characterized by abnormal platelet aggregation in response to various agents and recurrent thrombi formation. Note=A common genetic variation in the 3-prime untranslated region of the prothrombin gene is associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and an increased risk of venous thrombosis. Defects in F2 are associated with susceptibility to pregnancy loss, recurrent, type 2 (RPRGL2) [MIM:614390]. A common complication of pregnancy, resulting in spontaneous abortion before the fetus has reached viability. The term includes all miscarriages from the time of conception until 24 weeks of gestation. Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as 3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions.[14] Function[THRB_HUMAN] Thrombin, which cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII, XIII, and, in complex with thrombomodulin, protein C. Functions in blood homeostasis, inflammation and wound healing.[15] [HIRV1_HIRME] Hirudin is a potent thrombin-specific protease inhibitor. It forms a stable non-covalent complex with alpha-thrombin, thereby abolishing its ability to cleave fibrinogen.[16] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedKinetics for the hydrolysis of the chromogenic active site titrant N alpha-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-alpha-azalysine p-nitrophenyl ester (Dmc-azaLys-ONp) catalyzed by bovine beta-trypsin, bovine alpha-thrombin, human alpha-thrombin, human Lys77-plasmin, human urinary kallikrein, the M(r) 33,000 and M(r) 54,000 species of human urokinase, as well as by porcine pancreatic beta-kallikrein-A and B have been obtained between pH 6.0 and 8.0, at 21.0 degrees C. Moreover, the three dimensional structure of the human alpha-thrombin-(hirugen).Dmc-azaLys acyl.enzyme complex has been analyzed and refined by X-ray crystallography at 2.0 A resolution (R-factor = 0.168). As observed for bovine beta-trypsin, the acylating inhibitor molecule is covalently bound to the Ser195 catalytic residue, filling the human alpha-thrombin S1 primary specificity subsite with its lysyl side-group. However, the carbonyl group of the scissile human alpha-thrombin.Dmc-azaLys acyl bond does not occupy properly the oxyanion binding hole. At variance from the bovine beta-trypsin.Dmc-azaLys acyl.enzyme structure, a second, not covalently bound, inhibitor molecule, partly shielded by the 60-insertion loop of human alpha-thrombin, is contacting the enzyme "aryl-binding site".
