Revised Manuscript Received January 6, 1993 abstract: Ultracentrifugation and fluorescence anisotropy decay measurements were used to evaluate the asymmetry and conformational dynamics of human blood clotting enzyme Vila (Vila) and the complex it forms with a soluble truncation mutant of human tissue factor (sTF) which acts as an essential cofactor for Vila. Sedimentation velocity experimentsshowed that both Vila and the sTF-VIIa complex are highly asymmetric. In each case, the friction ratio,///sphere, is consistent with a family of general ellipsoids ranging from prolate to oblate. Fluorescence anisotropy decay experiments were used to limit the family of ellipsoids which can describe the hydrodynamic behavior of Vila and sTF-VIIa. For both Vila and the sTF* VIIa complex, the oblate ellipsoid of revolution was eliminated. In addition, the fluorescence anisotropy decay data clearly show that upon binding sTF-VIIa loses a segmental motion involving a domain containing the active site of the enzyme. This suggests that sTF causes a stabilization of a limited range of Vila conformations. This stabilization may be important for proper recognition of the TF-VIIa substrate, factor X.The complexation of factor Vila (Vila) 1 with membranebound tissue factor (TF) is a critical step in the initiation of blood coagulation. TF is a transmembrane glycoprotein consisting of an extracellular domain (residues 1-219), a single transmembrane domain (residues 220-242), and a cytoplasmic domain (residues 243-263) which contains a half-cysteine residue thioesterified to palmitate or stearate [for review, see Bach (1988)]. When complexed with TF, the serine protease activity of Vila toward its natural substrate, factor X (X), is increased by many orders of magnitude (Silverberg et al.,
