Abstract

The interactions of bovine factor IX, its activation intermediate, Factor IX alpha, and its activation products, Factor IXa alpha and Factor IXa beta, with phospholipid vesicles, of mean radius of approx. 30 nm, containing various amounts of phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), have been examined. For Factor IX, Factor IX alpha, Factor IXa alpha and Factor IXa beta, the dissociation constants, at saturating levels of Ca2+, are independent of the PS concentration in the vesicle after levels of 20-30% (w/w) have been reached, and attain minimum values of approx. 1.7, 1.7, 0.7 and 1.0 microM, respectively, with vesicles containing 50% PS. The amount of protein bound per vesicle particle is independent of the PS content, above 20% PS, for Factor IX and Factor IXa beta, with values of approx. 995-1197 and 1128-1566 molecules/vesicle, respectively. With Factor IX alpha, a dependence on the amount of protein bound with the content of PS is seen, which ranges from 338 to 619 molecules/vesicle with membranes containing 30-50% PS. For Factor IXa alpha, no regularity is noted and a range of 583-1083 molecules of protein/vesicle is observed with the systems employed. Examination of the radii of the proteins on the vesicle demonstrates that Factors IX alpha and IXa alpha occupy considerably more of the surface than do Factors IX and IXa beta, suggesting that a reason for the decreased number of binding sites for the former two proteins on the vesicle may be related to their greater surface spatial requirements.
