title: [Interaction of human thrombin I fragment, prethrombin I, and alpha-thrombin with tissue thromboplastin].
abstract: The binding of 125I-labeled prothrombin fragment I. prethrombin I and alpha-thrombin to native and papain-treated tissue thromboplastin in the presence of CaCl2 of EDTA was studied. The experimental curves plotted in the Scatchard coordinates testify to the presence in thromboplastin of two types of fragment I binding sites: those with a high (Kd = 7.6 x 10(-6) M) and moderate (Kd = 1.3 x 10(-8) M) binding affinity. The parameters of fragment I binding and their changes reproduced, for the most part, the mode of prothrombin binding observed in previous studies. The experimental results provide indirect evidence in favour of a hydrophobic role of Ca(2+)-dependent binding of prothrombin fragment I to thromboplastin. The binding of prethrombin I was nonspecific and Ca(2+)-independent, whereas alpha-thrombin showed a relatively high level of nonspecific electrostatic binding which was competitively inhibited by Ca2+. Thromboplastin proteins interacted (both directly and in a Ca(2+)-independent fashion) with all the prothrombin derivatives under study.
