During blood coagulation, the protease factor XIa (fXIa) activates factor IX (fIX). We describe a new mechanism for this process. FIX is cleaved initially after Arg(145) to form fIX alpha, and then after Arg(180) to form the protease fIXa beta. FIX alpha is released from fXIa, and must rebind for cleavage after Arg(180) to occur. Catalytic efficiency of cleavage after Arg(180) is 7-fold greater than for cleavage after Arg(145), limiting fIX alpha accumulation. FXIa contains four apple domains (A1-A4) and a catalytic domain. Exosite(s) on fXIa are required for fIX binding, however, there is lack of consensus on their location(s), with sites on the A2, A3, and catalytic domains described. Replacing the A3 domain with the prekallikrein A3 domain increases K-m for fIX cleavage after Arg(145) and Arg(180) 25- and >= 90-fold, respectively, and markedly decreases k(cat) for cleavage after Arg(180). Similar results were obtained with the isolated fXIa catalytic domain, or fXIa in the absence of Ca2+. Forms of fXIa lacking the A3 domain exhibit 15-fold lower catalytic efficiency for cleavage after Arg(180) than for cleavage after Arg(145), resulting in fIX alpha accumulation. Replacing the A2 domain does not affect fIX activation. The results demonstrate that fXIa activates fIX by an exosite- and Ca2+-mediated release-rebind mechanism in which efficiency of the second cleavage is enhanced by conformational changes resulting from the first cleavage. Initial binding of fIX and fIX alpha requires an exosite on the fXIa A3 domain, but not the A2 or catalytic domain.
