摘要: Factor VIII is a procofactor that plays critical role in blood coagulation, and missing or defective hemophilia A. We determined the X-ray crystal structure of B domain-deleted human factor VIII. This protein composed five globular domains contains one Ca(2+) two Cu(2+) ions. The three homologous A form triangular heterotrimer where A1 A3 serve as base interact with C2 C1 domains, respectively. structurally reveal membrane binding features. Based on biochemical studies, model IXa-factor VIIIa complex was constructed by silico docking. IXa wraps across side VIII, an extended interface spans heavy light chains. provides insight into activation interaction surface.
