Clotting Cascade Flashcards
is fibrin or fibrinogen soluble?
fibrinogen
what parts of a zymogen are located in the liver?
pre for secretion
pro to keep it inactive
functional protein
what parts does the blood plasma contain?
Pro
functional protein
in coagulating blood, what does it contain
functional protein only
therefore biologically active
what enzyme catalyzes prothrombin –> thrombin?
prothrombinase
Serine protease
what is factor 9 deficiency called?
what disease is it associated with?
Christmas disease
Hemophilia B
where does thrombin cut?
Arg-Gly
what subunits is fibrinogen made of?
where does thrombin cut? what happens to these portions?
alpha, beta, gamma
cuts off A and B sites
A fits into gamma subunit of another fibrinogen
what domain are the A sites located at of fibrinogen?
where are the B sites located?
E
E
where do E domains go after being cut?
match complementary sites of D domain
what do B sites do after being cut?
interact to from 3D wall
what kind of interaction occurs between D and E domains?
H-bonds (soft clot)
in the formation of a hard clot, what bonds are formed?
covalent bonds between NH2 of Gln and NH3 of Lys
once the hard clot is formed what catalyzes the conversion of fibrin to cross-linked fibrin?
Factor 13a (Transglutaminase)
what activates Factor 13a?
Thrombin
what must happen to prothrombin?
what is this important for?
must be modified post-translationally
clot localization
how does glutamate of prothrombin get modified?
by what enzyme?
what is formed and with what charge?
COO- group attached
carboxylase
gamma-carboxy-glutamate -2 charge
what is significant about the -2 charge on prothrombin after post-translational modification?
provides specificity and localization to damaged vessels
binds perfectly to Ca2+ that is released
