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] Publication Abstract from PubMedIn lead optimization, small, enthalpically advantaged fragments have been suggested to be superior, as an entropic component will be added inevitably during late-stage optimization. Determination of thermodynamic signatures of weak-binding fragments is essential to support the decision-making process, to decide which fragment to take to further optimization. High-resolution crystal structures of six fragments binding to the S1 pocket of thrombin were determined and analyzed with respect to their thermodynamic profile. The two most potent fragments exhibiting an amidine-type scaffold are not the most enthalpic binders; instead a chloro-thiophene fragment binds more enthalpically. Two chemically very similar chloro-aromatic fragments differ strongly in their potency (430 muM vs 10 mM); their binding modes are related, but the surrounding residual water network differs. The more potent one recruits a water molecule and involves Glu192 in binding, thus succeeding in firmly capping the S1 pocket. Fragments exhibiting a rather perfect solvation pattern in their binding mode also experience the highest potency.
