Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A patient with factor XI (FXI) deficiency was reported with an Arg184Gly substitution in the FXI A3 domain. The A3 domain contains an exosite required for binding of FIX to activated FXI (FXIa). OBJECTIVE: To test the effects of the Arg184Gly substitution on FIX activation, and to characterize the FIX-binding site on FXIa. METHODS: Recombinant FXIa and FIX variants were used to identify residues...
