CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS AT 3.0-ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION OF THE BINDING TO HUMAN THROMBIN OF FOUR ACTIVE SITE-DIRECTED INHIBITORS
Structural highlights
DiseaseTHRB_HUMAN Defects in F2 are the cause of factor II deficiency (FA2D) [MIM:613679. It is a very rare blood coagulation disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding symptoms. The severity of the bleeding manifestations correlates with blood factor II levels.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Genetic variations in F2 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.[13] Defects in F2 are the cause of thrombophilia due to thrombin defect (THPH1) [MIM:188050. It is a multifactorial disorder of hemostasis characterized by abnormal platelet aggregation in response to various agents and recurrent thrombi formation. Note=A common genetic variation in the 3-prime untranslated region of the prothrombin gene is associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and an increased risk of venous thrombosis. Defects in F2 are associated with susceptibility to pregnancy loss, recurrent, type 2 (RPRGL2) [MIM:614390. A common complication of pregnancy, resulting in spontaneous abortion before the fetus has reached viability. The term includes all miscarriages from the time of conception until 24 weeks of gestation. Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as 3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions.[14] FunctionTHRB_HUMAN Thrombin, which cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII, XIII, and, in complex with thrombomodulin, protein C. Functions in blood homeostasis, inflammation and wound healing.[15] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe mode of binding of four active-site directed inhibitors to human thrombin has been determined by x-ray crystallographic analysis. The inhibitors studied are benzamidine, PPACK, NAPAP, and MD-805, of which the last three are compounds evolved specifically to inhibit thrombin. Crystal structures were determined in the presence of both the inhibitor and the undecapeptide [des-amino Asp55]hirudin(55-65) which binds distant from the active site. Despite having significantly different chemical structures, NAPAP and MD-805 bind to thrombin in a very similar "inhibitor binding mode" which is not that expected by direct analogy with the binding of substrate. Both inhibitors bind to thrombin in a similar way as to trypsin, but thrombin has an extra loop, the "Tyr-Pro-Pro-Trp loop," not present in trypsin, which gives further binding interactions and is seen to move somewhat to accommodate binding of the different inhibitors. The fact that NAPAP and MD-805 require different stereochemistry for potent inhibition is demonstrated, and its structural basis clarified. The wealth of data on analogs and variants of these lead compounds is shown to be compatible with this inhibitor binding mode.
