In a recent study it was demonstrated that thrombin des-PPW reacts with antithrombin (AT) very poorly. In this study it is shown that a Trp to Ala (W60A) mutant of thrombin also reacts with AT at a lower rate than thrombin. The inhibition kinetics were studied by the slow-binding kinetic approach. In both the presence and absence of heparin, the pseudo-first-order rate constant of thrombin inhibition (kobs) increased linearly with AT concentration, indicating that inhibition, in the concentration range covered, conforms to a bimolecular reaction E + I E-I. Only the second-order association rate constant (kassn) for thrombin can be estimated [6.8 ± 2.7) × 103M-1s-1in the absence of heparin and (4.1 ± 1.2) × 106M-1s-1in the presence of heparin]. With W60A and des-PPW, thekobsof inhibition increased hyperbolically as a function of AT concentration, indicating that the inhibition is a two-step process according to E + I E·I E-I. The kinetic constants for W60A were estimated to beKinit= 13.6 ± 3.3 μM andk2= 0.007 ± 0.001 s-1in the absence of heparin andKinit= 13.6 ± 3.1 nM andk2= 0.008 ± 0.002 s-1in the presence of heparin. AT inhibited des-PPW very slowly [kassn= (2.9 ± 0.7) × 101M-1s-1], but heparin accelerated the reaction ≈20 000-fold and made it possible to demonstrate a two-step reaction mechanism for des-PPW withKinit= 10.4 ± 2.3 nM andk2= 0.006 ± 0.001 s-1. In contrast to thrombin, an active AT-binding pentasaccharide enhanced the inhibition of des-PPW ≈15-fold. These results indicate that (1) in contrast to thrombin, the heparin-induced conformational change in AT is required for optimal inhibition of des-PPW and (1) Trp60 is essential for normal thrombin−AT reaction. On the basis of these results, a modified model for thrombin−AT interaction is proposed.
