CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN ALPHA-THROMBIN-HAEMADIN COMPLEX: AN EXOSITE II-BINDING INHIBITOR
Overview
The serine proteinase alpha-thrombin plays a pivotal role in the, regulation of blood fluidity, and therefore constitutes a primary target, in the treatment of various haemostatic disorders. Haemadin is a slow, tight- binding thrombin inhibitor from the land-living leech Haemadipsa, sylvestris. Here we present the 3.1 A crystal structure of the human, alpha-thrombin- haemadin complex. The N-terminal segment of haemadin binds, to the active site of thrombin, forming a parallel beta-strand with, residues Ser214-Gly216 of the proteinase. This mode of binding is similar, to that observed in another leech-derived inhibitor, hirudin. In contrast, to hirudin, however, the markedly acidic C-terminal peptide of haemadin, does not bind the fibrinogen-recognition exosite, but interacts with the, ... [(full description)]
