Abstract excerpt
The C-terminal fibronectin-type-III-like module of the tissue factor (TF) extracellular domain plays a requisite role in the activation of macromolecular substrates by factor VIIa (VIIa) in complex with TF. Unlike the mutations Lys165-->Ala, Lys166-->Ala in TF, which prevent efficient proteolysis of factor X, we found that the coagulant defect of a site-specific Trp158-->Arg, Ser160-->Gly replacement mutant of TF...
