Revised Manuscript Received September 7, 1994® abstract: Lysine residues in two different regions of antithrombin have been proposed to be involved in heparin binding and heparin-mediated acceleration of proteinase inhibition. Lysine 125 has been implicated as an essential heparinbinding residue from chemical modification studies [Peterson, C. B., Noyes, C. M., Pecon, J. M., Church, F. C., & Blackburn, M. N.(1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 8061—8065] whereas lysines 290, 294, and 297 have been proposed from model building studies to constitute the heparin binding site [Villanueva, G. B.(1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 2531—2536]. To evaluate both of these proposals, we have prepared two variant human antithrombins, K125M and K290M, K294M, K297M, in which these lysines have been changed by site-directed mutagenesis to methionines. The K290M,-K294M. K297M variant had properties verysimilar to those of wild-type recombinant antithrombin in affinity for heparin, and in rates of inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa. In contrast, K125M antithrombin had reduced affinity for both heparin pentasaccharideand full-length heparin, corresponding to AAGs of 3.1 and2. 0 kcal mol-1, respectively. However, this variant was still able to inhibit both thrombin and factor Xa. Whereas therate of thrombin inhibition was similar to that of wild-typeantithrombin, the rate of factor Xa inhibition was enhanced between 2-and 3-fold, suggesting a role for lysine 125 in the allosteric coupling betweenthe heparin binding site and the reactive center region. At saturation with either heparin pentasaccharide or full-length high-affinity heparin, the rates of inhibition of both proteinases were similar to those of wild-typeantithrombin for both the K125M and K290M, K294M, K297M variants. We conclude that lysine 125 plays an important role in the structure of the heparin binding region and in binding heparin with high affinity, but is not needed for the maximum heparin-induced acceleration of proteinase inhibition. We found no definitive evidence that lysines 290, 294, and 297 contribute to a heparin binding site, either as the primary site or involved in binding longer chain species.Antithrombin is a member of the serpin superfamily of serine proteinase inhibitors and is an inhibitor of proteinases involved in regulation of proteinases of the blood coagulation cascade. The principal targets for inhibition by antithrombin are factor Xa and thrombin. However, for efficient rates of inhibition of these proteinases to occur, heparin must be
