A number of studies have shown that the γ-carboxyglutamate-rich (GLA) domains of vitamin K-dependent clotting proteins require Ca2+ to fold properly and bind to membranes (1, 2). Although plasma contains about 1.25 mM free Ca2+ and 0.5 mM Mg2+(3), in vitro assays of clotting factor function often employ supraphysiologic Ca2+ concentrations (2.5-5 mM Ca2+), and no Mg2+. Sekiya et al. showed that Mg2+ enhances factor IX (fIX) structure and function in combination with physiologic Ca2+ concentrations (4, 5). Subsequent reports showed that, in the presence of plasma concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+ enhances the activity of factor VIIa (fVIIa) bound to tissue factor (TF)(6–10). The concept is that GLA domains typically bind seven or eight Ca2+ when it is the only divalent metal ion present (at supraphysiologic Ca2+ concentrations), but at plasma concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+, two or three of these “calcium” binding sites are actually occupied by Mg2+, with functional consequences (11). Mg2+ does not support clotting reactions in the absence of Ca2+(12), also consistent with the notion that only a subset of the metal ion binding sites in GLA domains can be productively occupied by Mg2+.Many studies of TF activity have employed binary mixtures of phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylcholine (PC). We previously reported that phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) supports little procoagulant activity in PE/PC liposomes, but that PE dramatically reduces the PS requirement for TF: fVIIa activity (13, 14). More recently, we reported that factor VIIa binds preferentially to phosphatidic acid (PA) and that PA enhances rates of fX activation by fVIIa alone or in complex with the isolated tissue factor ectodomain (sTF)(15). However, these studies of phospholipid synergy were conducted at saturating Ca2+ concentrations without Mg2+. Furthermore, the previous studies showing that Mg2+ enhances GLA domain function were typically performed with PS/PC liposomes or cell membranes. Therefore, the ability of Mg2+ to enhance fX activation by fVIIa has not been explored systematically as a function of phospholipid composition. We now examine the ability of Mg2+ to enhance fVIIa function in the presence of PE or PA. Recombinant membrane-anchored TF (membTF) was reconstituted into liposomes of varying phospholipid composition (palmitoyl-oleoyl PC, palmitoyl-oleoyl PS, dioleoyl PE, and/or palmitoyl-oleoyl PA) and used to quantify rates of fX activation as previously described (15). We first measured fX activation by fVIIa on TF-liposomes composed of binary PS/PC mixtures. Consistent with studies cited above, physiologic concentrations of divalent metal ions (1.25 mM Ca2+ plus 0.5 mM Mg2+) supported slightly higher rates of fX activation by membTF: fVIIa than did supraphysiologic Ca2+ concentrations (2.5 mM Ca2+ without Mg2+) and substantially higher rates than with 1.25 mM Ca2+ without Mg2+(▶ Figure 1 A, open diamonds, circles and squares, respectively), over the range of PS compositions tested.
