The prothrombinase complex catalyzes the activation of prothrombin to α-thrombin. We have repetitively shown that amino acid region695DYDY698from the COOH terminus of the heavy chain of factor Va regulates the rate of cleavage of prothrombin at Arg271by prothrombinase. We have also recently demonstrated that amino acid region334DY335is required for the optimal activity of prothrombinase. To assess the effect of these six amino acid residues on cofactor activity, we created recombinant factor Va molecules combining mutations at amino acid regions 334–335 and 695−698 as follows: factor V3K(334DY335→ KF and695DYDY698→ KFKF), factor VKF/4A(334DY335→ KF and695DYDY698→ AAAA), and factor V6A(334DY335→ AA and695DYDY698→ AAAA). The recombinant factor V molecules were expressed and purified to homogeneity. Factor Va3K, factor VaK4/4A, and factor Va6Ahad reduced affinity for factor Xa, when compared to the affinity of the wild-type molecule (factor VaWt) for the enzyme. Prothrombinase assembled with saturating concentrations of factor Va3Khad a 6-fold reduced second-order rate constant for prothrombin activation compared to the value obtained with prothrombinase assembled with factor VaWt, while prothrombinase assembled with saturating concentrations of factor VaKF/4Aand factor Va6Ahad approximately 1.5-fold reduced second-order rate constants. Overall, the data demonstrate that amino acid region 334–335 together with amino acid region 695−698 from factor Va heavy chain are part of a cooperative mechanism within prothrombinase regulating cleavage and activation of prothrombin by factor Xa.
