title: Production and properties of a factor X-cellulose-binding domain fusion protein.
abstract: A fusion protein, FX-CBDCex, which comprises factor X with a cellulose-binding domain (CBDCex) fused to its C-terminus, was produced in BHK cells. It was purified from the culture medium by affinity chromatography on cellulose. FX-CBDCex could be activated to FXa-CBDCex with Russell viper venom. FXa-CBDCex was as active as FXa against a chromogenic substrate and against proteins containing the Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg sequence hydrolysed by FXa. FXa-CBDCex retained its activity when adsorbed to cellulose.
