Abstract:
:Trocarin belongs to group D of prothrombin activators derived from snake venom of Tropidechis carinatus and is a rich non-hepatic source of Xa, the only known hepatic prothrombin activator. The structural and functional similarity with Xa makes trocarin an interesting target for exploring the structure-functional relationship with Xa. Herein we report a predicted complete three-dimensional all-atom structural model of trocarin equilibrated in explicit water using 4 ns of molecular dynamics simulation. The tertiary structure was modeled using the structure of human blood coagulation factor Xa. The conformational and structural features of trocarin are then compared with the X-ray crystal and solution simulation structures of human factor Xa. The modeled structure of trocarin has four individual domains (Gla, EGF1, EGF2 and SP) connected along the long axis with similar secondary structural elements to Xa. The simulations suggest that sodium ion binding in the serine protease domain is impaired in trocarin as compared to Xa. In contrast to Xa, for which the sodium ion forms an octahedral coordination network that brings two loop regions connecting four anti-parallel beta-sheets together, we do not find a similar pattern of network in trocarin. We observe that the difference in the binding pattern of sodium ion leads to a approximately 2-A "shrinkage" of the beta2 strand (B2), in comparison to human Xa, as marked by a shorter distance between 189Asp373 (S1-site residue) and 195Ser379 (active-site residue) in the B2 strand. We propose that these differences may be linked to the experimentally observed lower amidolytic activity of trocarin as compared to Xa.
