Binding of [125I] thrombinto a specific site on these cells with formation of a 77 000-dalton complex was demonstrated by NaDodS04 (sodium dodecyl sulfate)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Binding of [125I] thrombin was blocked by a 100-fold excess of unlabeled a-thrombin and by the thrombin inhibitor, hirudin. There are~ 100000 of these thrombin binding sites on the cell surface. Formation of the complex could be detected as early as 15 s, increased rapidly over the next 20-30 min, and then continued at a slower rate for the next 2.5 h. The catalytically active site of the enzyme was required for formation of the NaDodS04-stable complex as shown by the inability of diisopropyl phosphorofluoride inactivated thrombin to form stable complexes with these cells. The complex was dissociated inNaDodS04 with 1.0 M hydroxylamine, suggesting an acyl linkage of the enzyme to the cellular binding site. The thrombin-endothelial cell complex was distinct from the thrombin-antithrombin III complex (Mr «= 90 000) on gel electrophoresis, and its formation was not enhanced by heparin. Additional thrombin-cell complexes {M,< 77 000) were also identified; however, they represent a small fraction of the total thrombin bound to the cells. These observations demonstrate that a-thrombin is capable of reacting specifically with corneal endothelial cells to form a NaDod-S04-stable complex which requires the catalytically active enzyme. rombin, a serine proteinase, is formed when the zymogen prothrombin is activated during blood clotting. Although it exhibits a limited preferential specificity for arginyl bonds (Elmore, 1973), thrombin has diverse biological effects. After initiation of coagulation, thrombin activates factors V, VIII, and XIII and converts soluble fibrinogen to a fibrin clot (Ware et al., 1947; Therriault et al., 1957; Buluk et al., 1961; Mo-rawitz, 1905). With the exception of factor VIII, activation of these glycoproteins has been shown to be theresult of limited proteolysis (Buluk et al., 1961; Nesheim et al., 1979; Esmon, 1979; Bettelheim & Bailey, 1952; Lorand, 1952). Thrombin also has effects on several different types of cells. These include stimulation of plateletsecretion and aggregation (Grette, 1962), mitogenesis of fibroblasts (Chen & Buchanan, 1975) and B lymphocytes (Chen et al., 1976), and stimulation of prostacyclin (PGI2) formation and release by endothelial cells (Weksler et al., 1978). Thrombin causes a marked re-duction in the capacity of endothelial cells to activate plasminogen and hence fibrinolysis (Loskutoff, 1979; Fehrenbacher et al., 1979). The mechanism by whichthrombin initiates these cellular effects is unknown. Reversible and specific binding of thrombin to platelets (Tollefsen et al., 1974; Ganguly, 1974), vascular endothelial cells (Awbrey et al., 1979), and fibroblasts (Carney & Cun-ingham, 1978) has previously been demonstrated. The binding of thrombin to platelets has been proposed as the first step in the induction of platelet secretion. Although both native thrombin and thrombin inactivatedat its serine active site bind
