Abstract excerpt
Proexosite I on prothrombin has been implicated in providing a recognition site for factor Va within prothrombinase. To examine whether hirudin-like sequences (659-698) on the cofactor contribute to this interaction, we expressed and purified two-chain FVa derivatives that were intracellularly truncated at the C terminus of the heavy chain: FVa709 (des710-1545), FVa699 (des700-1545), FVa(692 (des693-1545), FVa678...
