Contributions of factor (F) VIIIa subunits to cofactor association with FIXa were evaluated. Steady-state fluorescence resonance energy transfer using an acrylodan-labeled A3-C1-C2 subunit and fluorescein-Phe-Phe-Arg-FIXa yielded K-d values of 52 +/- 10 and 197 +/- 55 nM in the presence and absence of phospholipid vesicles, respectively. A3-C1-C2 was an effective competitor of FVIIIa binding to FIXa as judged by inhibition of FXa generation performed in the absence of vesicles (K-i approximate to 1.6K(d) for FVIIIa-FIXa). However, the capacity for A3-C1-C2 to inhibit FVIIIa-dependent FXa generation in the presence of phospholipid was poor with a Ki values (similar to400 nM) that were similar to100-fold greater than the Kd for FVIIIa-FIXa interaction (4.2 +/- 0.6 nM). These results indicated that a significant component of the interprotein affinity is contributed by FVIIIa subunits other than A3-C1-C2 in the membrane-dependent complex. The isolated A2 subunit of FVIIIa interacts weakly with FIXa, and recent modeling studies have implicated a number of residues that potentially contact the FIXa protease domain (Bajaj et a]. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 16302-16309). Site-directed mutagenesis of candidate residues in the A2 domain was performed, and recombinant proteins were stably expressed and purified. Functional affinity determinations demonstrated that one mutant, FVIII/Asp712Ala exhibited an 8-fold increased K-d (35 +/- 1.5 nM) relative to wild-type suggesting a contribution by this residue of similar to10% of the FVIIIa-FIXa binding energy. Thus both A2 and A3-C1-C2 subunits contribute to the affinity of FVIIIa for FIXa in the membrane-dependent FXase.
