Abstract excerpt
Factor VIII binds to phosphatidylserine (PS)-containing membranes through its tandem, lectin-homology, C1 and C2 domains. However, the details of C1 domain membrane binding have not been delineated. We prepared 4 factor VIII C1 mutations localized to a hypothesized membrane-interactive surface (Arg2090Ala/Gln2091Ala, Lys2092Ala/Phe2093Ala, Gln2042Ala/Tyr2043Ala, and Arg2159Ala). Membrane binding and cofactor...
