Force-regulated cleavage of A2 domain of von Willebrand factor (vWF) by ADAMTS13 is a key event in preventing thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Recognition and cleavage depend on cooperative and modular contacts between several ADAMTS13 subdomains and discrete segments of vWF A2 domain. Spacer domain of ADAMTS13 contains an important exosite interacting with α6 helix of unfold A2 domain, but it remains unclear whether stretching of α6 regulates binding to spacer. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying the interactions between spacer and α6 under stretching, we successfully predicted spacer-α6 complex by a novel computer strategy combined the steered molecular dynamics (SMD) and flexible docking techniques. This strategy included three steps: (1) constant-velocity SMD simulation of α6; (2) zero-velocity SMD simulations of α6, and (3) flexible dockings of α6 to spacer. In our spacer-α6 complex model, 13 key residues, six in α6 and seven in spacer, were identified. Our data demonstrated a biphasic extension-regulated binding of α6 to spacer. The binding strength of the complex increased with α6 extension until it reaches its optimum of 0.25 nm, and then decreased as α6 extension further increased, meaning that spacer is in favor to binding with a partially extended α6, which may contribute to the optimal contact and proteolysis. Changes of interface area and intermolecular salt bridge may serve as the molecular basis for this characteristic. These findings provide a novel insight into mechano-chemical regulation on interaction between ADAMTS13 and vWF A2 domain under forces.
