?
Factor Va + H2O
?
-
activated protein C downregulates thrombin formation through proteolytic inactivation of factor Va by cleavage at Arg506 and Arg306. Docking of APC to FVa and FVIIIa constitutes the first step in the inactivation of the cofactor
-
-
?
Factor Va + H2O
?
-
activated protein C inactivates membrane-bound factor Va following cleavages of the heavy chain at Arg306, Arg506, and Arg679. In the absence of the APC-cleavage sites at Arg306 and Arg506, the active cofactor is unable to be significantly inactivated by APC in the presence of a membrane surface
-
-
?
Factor Va + H2O
?
-
APC can inactivate FVa by proteolysis of three different peptide bonds at positions R306, R506 and R679. The cleavage at R506 is kinetically favoured, protein S-independent and yields a FVa intermediate with decreased factor Xa-cofactor activity. The slower cleavage at R306 is stimulated by protein S and completely inactivates FVa
-

?

?
Factor Va + H2O
?
-
activated protein C inactivates membrane-bound factor Va following cleavages of the heavy chain at Arg306, Arg506, and Arg679. It is the first cleavage at Arg306 that is the inactivating cleavage. Cleavage at Arg306 leads to full loss of cofactor function and the dissociation of the A2 domain from the rest of the molecule. Complete inactivation of factor Va by APC requires the presence of a membrane surface, however, factor Va can be cleaved by APC in the absence of a membrane surface at Arg506 and Arg679, retaining approximately 80% of its cofactor activity
-
-
?
Factor Va + H2O
?
-
cleavage at Arg306, Arg506, and Arg679 of the heavy chain. FVa is protected by prothrombin about 7.6fold in the absence of FXa
-
-
?
factor Va Leiden + H2O
?
-
inactivation is much less sensitive to prothrombin inhibition
-
?
?
-
The substrate is derived from factor Va by replacing Arg506 by Gln. In the presence of phospholipids the substrate is hydrolyzed at Arg306, but in the absence of phospholipids hydrolysis occurs at Arg679, followed by cleavage at Arg306, suggesting that the binding of phospholipids alters the accessibility of Arg679
-
-
?
