stable recombinant expression of C-terminally FLAG-tagged VKOR or its C43/51A mutant in HEK-293 cells, whose endogenous VKOR and VKOR-like enzyme (VKORC1L1) are knocked out by transcription activator-like effector nuclease-mediated genome editing Homo sapiens

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
warfarin warfarin reversibly inhibits VKOR by competing with vitamin K, inhibition mechanism, overview. Warfarin-resistant VKOR mutations identified in patients significantly decrease warfarin's binding affinity, but have only a minor effect on vitamin K binding. A T-shaped stacking interaction between warfarin and tyrosine residue 139, within the proposed TY139A warfarin-binding motif, is observed. Furthermore, a reversible dynamic warfarin-binding pocket opening and conformational changes are observed when warfarin binds to VKOR. Several residues (Y25, A26, and Y139) are found essential for warfarin binding to VKOR. Molecular dynamics simulations and in vivo assays. No direct interaction between warfarin and the experimentally supported TY139A warfarin-binding motif is observed. Dynamic nature of warfarin binding to the 3-TM human VKOR structure. Dynamic binding pocket opening when warfarin binds to VKOR. The phenyl ring of Y139 is essential for stabilizing warfarin binding, Y25 and A26 interact with Y139 to stabilize warfarin binding in VKOR Homo sapiens

additional information immunofluorescence confocal imaging of VKOR in live mammalian cells and PEGylation of VKOR's endogenous cytoplasmic-accessible cysteines in intact microsomes are used to probe the membrane topology of human VKOR. A loop sequence between the first and second transmembrane (TM) domain of VKOR is located in the cytoplasm, supporting a 3-TM topological structure of human VKOR Homo sapiens

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information cysteines 132 and 135 comprise a C132XXC135 active site redox center of VKOR, the C132XXC135 redox motif is VKOR's active site Homo sapiens
physiological function vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR), an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein, is the key enzyme for vitamin K-dependent carboxylation, a posttranslational modification that is essential for the biological functions of coagulation factors. VKOR is the target of the most widely prescribed oral anticoagulant, warfarin Homo sapiens
