The inhibitory influence of divalent cations on the ability of bovine α-thrombin to hydrolyze prothrombin showed the trend Mn2+⪢ Ca2+⩾ Mg2+> Sr2+⪢ Ba2+. This effect was not due to an inhibition of thrombin's catalytic activity as measured by hydrolysis of a specific synthetic substrate,H-d-Phe-pipecolyl-Arg-p-nitroanilide (D-PhePipArgNA). The presence of divalent cations did not inhibit thrombic proteolysis of γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-domainless prothrombin. Prothrombin and Gladomainless prothrombin were used as competitive inhibitors in the thrombic hydrolysis of D-PhePipArgNA. The apparentKivalue calculated for prothrombin was 18 μm. When either Ca2+or Mn2+were present, there was no inhibition. The apparentKivalue determined for Gla-domainless prothrombin was 28 μmin either the absence or presence of Ca2+. Addition of divalent cations to prothrombin, but not to Gladomainless prothrombin, resulted in an altered protein conformation as measured by high-performance size-exclusion chromatography and ultraviolet difference spectroscopy. These results suggest that a conformational change secondary to the interaction of divalent cations with the Gla-containing domain of prothrombin is required for cation-dependent inhibition of thrombin hydrolysis.
