Anticoagulant mechanism of the coagulation factor IX/factor X-binding protein (IX/X-bp) isolated from the venom of Trimeresurus flavoviridis was investigated. IX/X-bp had no effect on the amidase activity of factor Xa measured with a synthetic peptide substrate Boc-Leu-Gly-Arg-pNA. Prothrombin activation by factor Xa without cofactors, such as factor Va and phospholipids, was only slightly influenced by IX/X-bp. However, prothrombin activation by factor Xa in the presence of factor Va resulted in IX/X-bp inhibiting the increase of k(cat) of thrombin formation through inhibition of interaction between factor Xa and factor Va. IX/X-bp also inhibited the decrease of K(m) for thrombin formation through interaction with phospholipids. Thus, IX/X-bp appears to act as an anticoagulant protein by inhibiting the interaction between factor Xa and its cofactors in the prothrombinase complex by binding to the Gla domain of factor Xa.
