Autodigestion of activated Hageman factor (HFa) yielded a 40,000-MW activated enzyme as well as Hageman factor fragment (HFf); HFf consisted of 2 MW species of 28,500 and 30,000. The structure of these active fragments was investigated and, upon reduction, each possessed a H chain of 28,000. The associated L chains were identified by subjecting iodinated proteins to 2-dimensional slab gel electrophoresis in which the 2nd dimension was run reduced. The 40,000-dalton enzyme had a L chain of 15,000, and the 30,000-dalton form of HFf had a L chain of 2000; evidence of a L chain associated with the 28,500-dalton form of HFf (putative MW .apprx. 500) was suggested. The 30,000-dalton form of HFf preceded the 28,500 form. Digestion of native HF to form HFa evidently preceded cleavages that fragment the molecule and diminish its MW. The 28,500-dalton L chain of HFa became the H chain of each of the fragmentation products while cleavage at different points along the H chain of HFa determined which fragments will be produced. Kallikrein digestion of HFa yielded primarily HFf; however, the 40,000-dalton enzyme may be seen when prekallikrein-deficient (Fletcher trait) plasma is activated.
