Disease
FA7_HUMAN Defects in F7 are the cause of factor VII deficiency (FA7D) [MIM:227500. A hemorrhagic disease with variable presentation. The clinical picture can be very severe, with the early occurrence of intracerebral hemorrhages or repeated hemarthroses, or, in contrast, moderate with cutaneous-mucosal hemorrhages (epistaxis, menorrhagia) or hemorrhages provoked by a surgical intervention. Finally, numerous subjects are completely asymptomatic despite very low factor VII levels.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24]
Function
FA7_HUMAN Initiates the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Serine protease that circulates in the blood in a zymogen form. Factor VII is converted to factor VIIa by factor Xa, factor XIIa, factor IXa, or thrombin by minor proteolysis. In the presence of tissue factor and calcium ions, factor VIIa then converts factor X to factor Xa by limited proteolysis. Factor VIIa will also convert factor IX to factor IXa in the presence of tissue factor and calcium.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Blood clotting is triggered in hemostasis and thrombosis when the membrane-bound tissue factor (TF)/factor VIIa (FVIIa) complex activates factor X (FX). There are no structures of TF/FVIIa on membranes, with or without FX. Using cryo-EM to address this gap, we assembled TF/FVIIa complexes on nanoscale membrane bilayers (nanodiscs), bound to XK1 and an antibody fragment. XK1 is a FX mimetic whose protease domain is replaced by the first Kunitz-type (K1) domain of tissue factor pathway inhibitor, while 10H10 is a non-inhibitory, anti-TF antibody. We determined a cryo-EM structure of a TF/FVIIa/XK1/10H10/nanodisc complex with a resolution of 3.7 A, allowing us to model all the protein backbones. TF/FVIIa extends perpendicularly from the membrane, interacting with a "handle shaped" XK1 at two locations: the K1 domain docks into FVIIa's active site, while the gamma-carboxyglutamate-rich (GLA) domain binds to TF's substrate-binding exosite. The FX and FVIIa GLA domains also contact each other and the membrane surface. Except for a minor contact between the first epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain of XK1 and TF, the rest of the FX light chain does not interact with TF/FVIIa. The structure reveals a previously unrecognized, membrane-dependent allosteric activation mechanism between FVIIa and TF where a serine-rich loop in TF that partially obscures the TF exosite must undergo a shift to allow access of the FX GLA domain to its final binding location on the membrane-bound TF/FVIIa complex. This mechanism also provides a novel explanation for the otherwise puzzling phenomenon of TF encryption/decryption on cell surfaces.
Cryo-EM structure of the tissue factor/factor VIIa complex with a factor X mimetic reveals a novel allosteric mechanism.,Sedzro JC, Photenhauer AL, Birkle F, Meze K, Mortenson A, Duckworth C, Wen PC, Kearns S, Cianfrocco MA, Tajkhorshid E, Ohi MD, Morrissey JH Blood. 2025 Aug 14:blood.2025029430. doi: 10.1182/blood.2025029430.
