SummaryWe examined the effect of the synthetic pentasaccharide representing the minimal binding site of heparin to antithrombin on the antithrombin-mediated inactivation of factor Vila bound to tissue factor. This effect was compared to the effect of unfractionated heparin. Using purified recombinant human coagulation factors and either a clotting or an amidolytic assay for the determination of the residual activity of factor Vila, we showed that the pentasaccharide was an efficient antithrombin-dependent inhibitor of the coagulant activity of tissue factor-factor Vila complex. In our experimental conditions, assuming a mean MW of 14,000 for heparin, the molar pseudo-first order rate constants for ATIII-mediated FVIIa inhibition by ATIII-binding heparin and by the synthetic pentasaccharide were found to be similar with respective values of 104,000 ± 10,500 min-1 and 112,000 ± 12,000 min-1 (mean ± s.e.m., n = 3)

The heparin-binding affinity of the tetrameric extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is a result of the cooperative effect of the heparin-binding domains of the subunits, located in the hydrophilic, strongly positively charged C-terminal ends. EC-SOD C, the high-heparin-affinity type, exposed to immobilized trypsin and plasmin was found to rapidly lose its affinity for heparin, without any loss of enzymic activity or major change in molecular mass as judged by size-exclusion chromatography. Heparin and dextran sulphate 5000 inhibited the proteolysis, suggesting that EC-SOD C sequestered by heparan sulphate proteoglycan in vivo is partially protected against proteolysis. The loss of heparin-affinity occurred with the stepwise formation of intermediates, and the pattern upon chromatography on heparin-Sepharose and subsequent immunoblotting was compatible with the notion that the changes are due to sequential truncations of heparin-binding domains from subunits composing the EC-SOD tetramers. A similar pattern with intermediates and apparent truncations has previously been found with EC-SOD of human plasma. The findings show that the unique design of the heparin-binding domain of EC-SOD allows easy modification of the heparin-affinity by means of limited proteolysis, and suggest that such proteolysis is a major contributor to the heterogeneity in heparin-affinity of EC-SOD in mammalian plasma.

AbstractWe report a newborn male who presented with severe central cyanosis on the third day of life. Partial thrombotic obstruction of the pulmonary trunk secondary to Antithrombin III (homozygous defect of heparin binding site) deficiency was subsequently diagnosed. Surgical thrombectomy, and infusions of Antithrombin III concentrate, led to a successful outcome. We postulate that intrauterine thrombosis occurred to give this unusual presentation.
