- W2004941257 abstract "The venom of the viper Echis carinatus contains a metalloprotease, ecarin, that is a potent prothrombin activator. We here show that the venom is also rich in another prothrombin activator, which does not belong to any known category of prothrombin activators. The novel enzyme, designated carinactivase-1 (CA-1), consists of two subunits held together non-covalently but very tightly. One subunit is a 62-kDa polypeptide that has metalloprotease activity and is homologous to the single-chain enzyme ecarin; the other subunit of 25 kDa consists of two disulfide-linked polypeptides of 17 and 14 kDa, and this subunit resembles the anticoagulant in the habu snake venom, IX/X-bp, that specifically binds the Gla domains of coagulation factors IX and X in a Ca2+-dependent fashion. The activation of prothrombin by CA-1 requires Ca2+ ions at millimolar concentrations and in the absence of Ca2+ ions this enzyme is virtually inactive. By contrast, activation by ecarin is completely independent of Ca2+ ions. CA-1, unlike ecarin, does not activate prothrombin derivatives, in which binding of Ca2+ ions has been perturbed, namely prethrombin-1 and acarboxyprothrombin. Furthermore, the isolated catalytic subunit, although its activity is greatly reduced as compared to that of the holoenzyme, no longer requires Ca2+ ions for the activation of prothrombin. Reconstitution with the non-catalytic 25-kDa subunit restores high level activity and the dependence on Ca2+ ions. Finally, prothrombin activation by CA-1 is inhibited by prothrombin fragment 1, and the isolated non-catalytic subunit is capable of binding fragment 1 in the presence of Ca2+ ions. From these observations, we postulate the following unique mechanism for the activation of prothrombin by CA-1. The enzyme primarily recognizes the Ca2+-bound conformation of the Gla domain in prothrombin via the 25-kDa regulatory subunit, and the subsequent conversion of prothrombin to active thrombin is catalyzed by the 62-kDa catalytic subunit.
