THROMBIN COMPLEXED WITH FIBRINOPEPTIDE A ALPHA (RESIDUES 7-19). THREE COMPLEXES, ONE WITH EPSILON-THROMBIN AND TWO WITH ALPHA-THROMBIN
OverviewOverview
The crystal structure of the noncovalent complex of bovine thrombin and a fibrinogen-A alpha tridecapeptide substrate analog, G17 psi, in which the scissile bond amide nitrogen of Gly-17f has been replaced by a methylene carbon, has been determined at 2.3 A resolution with an R factor of 17.1%. The geometry of the active site indicates that the crystal structure is a close model of the true Michaelis complex. The three independently determined thrombin/G17 psi complexes in the crystal asymmetric unit reveal novel interactions for the P2' and P3' residues-Pro-18f and Arg-19f, respectively-on the carboxyl-terminal side of the scissile bond and confirm previously observed interactions of the P1 (Arg-16f) through P10 (Asp-7f) positions on the amino-terminal side. The thrombin S2' binding site for Pro-18f, as observed in all three complexes, differs from that predicted by modeling studies and is notable for including two carbonyl oxygens of the thrombin main chain. Arg-19f occupies two binding sites on thrombin, S3'A and S3'B, which have dramatically different placements for the arginyl side chain and carboxyl terminus.
