Abstract
Coagulation factor FXI (FXI), a plasma serine protease zymogen, has important roles in both intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways and bridges the initiation and amplification phases of plasmatic hemostasis. Recent studies have provided new insight into the molecular structure and functional features of FXI and have demonstrated distinct structural and biological differences between activated factor XII (FXIIa)-mediated FXI activation and tissue factor/thrombin-mediated FXI activation. The former is important in thrombosis; the latter is more essential in hemostasis. Activated partial thromboplastin tine (aPTT) artificially reflects FXIIa-initiated intrinsic coagulation pathway in vitro. Conversely, FXIIa-inhibited diluted thromboplastin time assay may reflect tissue factor/thrombin-mediated FXI activation in vivo. Further explication of the genetic mutations of FXI deficiency has improved the understanding of the structure-function relationship of FXI. Besides its procoagulant activity, the antifibrinolytic activity of FXI was well documented in a wealth of literature. Finally, the new emerging concept of inhibiting FXI as a novel antithrombotic approach with an improved benefit-risk ratio has been supported through observations from human FXI deficiency and various animal models. Large- and small-molecule FXI inhibitors have shown promising antithrombotic effects. The present review summarizes the recent advancements in the molecular physiology of FXI and the molecular pathogenesis of FXI deficiency and discusses the evidence and progress of FXI-targeting antithrombotics development.

Activated factor XII type A and B-type natriuretic peptide are complementary and incremental predictors of mortality in patients following admission with acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
The aim of this analysis was to assess the predictive value of activated factor XII type A (XIIaA) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in acute coronary syndrome patients stratified according to troponin release and to evaluate their complementary utility as predictors of all-cause mortality and recurrent troponin T (TnT)-positive events. Multivariable analysis in 870 patients admitted with suspected myocardial infarction was performed using the Cox proportional hazard ratio model. Variables in the model included XIIaA and BNP as well as conventional risk factors for mortality. Although both XIIaA and BNP were identified as independent predictors for all-cause mortality in the total group of patients, only BNP was found to be an independent predictor for all-cause mortality in patients with a confirmed myocardial infarction (TnT > 0.05 ng/ml) at admission (hazard ratio 4.24, 95% confidence interval 1.28-14.07), whereas only XIIaA was an independent predictor for all-cause mortality in patients with low TnT release (0.01 < TnT < or = 0.05 ng/ml) at admission (hazard ratio 10.37, 95% confidence interval 2.89-37.21). The combination of these two biomarkers provided complementary prognostic information for all-cause mortality as compared with each of the biomarkers alone in the total patient material. XIIaA is particularly useful in predicting mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients with low troponin release, whereas BNP is effective in predicting mortality in patients with confirmed myocardial infarction and more substantial troponin release. The combination of these two biomarkers improves outcome prediction in unselected patients with chest pain and acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiological pathways resulting in Late Stent Thrombosis (LST) remain uncertain. Findings from animal studies indicate a role of the intrinsic coagulation pathway in arterial thrombus formation, while clinical studies support an association with ischemic cardiovascular disease. It is currently unknown whether differences in the state of the contact system might contribute to the risk of LST or Very Late Stent Thrombosis (VLST). We assessed the relation between levels of several components involved in the contact system and a history of LST and VLST, termed (V)LST in a cohort of 20 patients as compared to a matched control group treated with PCI. METHODS AND RESULTS Activated factor XII (FXIIa), FXII zymogen (FXII), FXIIa-C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-inhibitor), Kallikrein-C1-inhibitor, FXIa-C1-inhibitor and FXIa-alpha1-antitrypsin (AT-inhibitor) complexes were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assy (ELISA) methodology.Cases and controls showed similar distributions in sex, age, baseline medications and stent type. Patients with a history of (V)LST had a significantly greater stent burden and a higher number of previous myocardial infarctions than the control patients.There were no significant between-group differences in the plasma levels of the components of the contact system. CONCLUSION In a cohort of patients with a history of (V)LST, we did not observe differences in the activation state of the intrinsic coagulation system as compared to patients with a history of percutaneous coronary intervention without stent thrombosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We assessed the relation between admission levels of activated factor XII type A (XIIaA), and long-term all-cause and cardiac mortality and recurrent troponin T (TnT) positive cardiovascular events in a consecutive cohort of 870 patients admitted with a clinically strongly suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS AND RESULTS After a 24-month follow-up period, 138 patients (15.8%) had died and 155 (17.8%) had suffered from a recurrent TnT positive (TnT > 0.05 ng mL(-1)) event. XIIaA levels were significantly lower in long-term survivors than in patients who died (22.9 (17.7-32.1) vs. 27.2 (20.0-39.7) pmol L(-1) [median, 25 and 75% percentiles], P < 0.001). The unadjusted hazard ratio for death within 2 years in patients with XIIaA in the highest quartile was 2.49 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.52-4.06) as compared with patients with XIIaA in the lowest quartile. In a stepwise Cox regression model for death within 2 years, XIIaA added prognostic information for all-cause mortality (HR 2.05; 95% CI, 1.21-3.47) above and beyond age, a history of heart failure, ST-segment elevation, TnT and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). In the subgroup of patients with an admission TnT < or = 0.05 ng mL(-1), XIIaA provided independent prognostic information for all-cause mortality (HR 3.88; 95% CI, 1.66-9.08) and for the combined endpoint of death or recurrent TnT positive event (HR 2.46; 95% CI, 1.34-4.50). CONCLUSION XIIaA, a recently identified in vivo form of activated factor XII is an independent indicator of long-term all-cause mortality in patients admitted with chest pain, providing prognostic information above and beyond conventional risk factors.

Abstract
The plasma kallikrein-kinin system consists of the proteins factor XII (FXII), prekallikrein (PK), and high molecular weight kininogen. It was first recognized as a surface-activated coagulation system that is activated when blood or plasma interacts with artificial surfaces. Although surface-activated contact activation occurs in vivo in the case of tissue destruction or a developing thrombus, the physiologic basis for the activation and function of this system has not been delineated. New investigations indicate that there is a proteolytic pathway on cells for PK activation independent of FXII. This pathway for PK with subsequent FXII activation indicates physiologic activities. These activities include blood pressure regulation and modulation of thrombosis risk independently of hemostasis. Furthermore, they include regulation of endothelial cell proliferation, angiogenesis and apoptosis through a cellular-based, outside-in signaling system. The present characterizations of this system, which incorrectly had been thought to initiate coagulation, represent an evolution of understanding in this field.

Abstract
Abstract
The role of the intrinsic coagulation system on the risk of myocardial infarction is unclear. In the Study of Myocardial Infarctions Leiden (SMILE) that included 560 men younger than age 70 with a first myocardial infarction and 646 control subjects, we investigated the risk of myocardial infarction for levels of factor XI (factor XIc) and factor XII (factor XIIc). Furthermore, the risks for factor VIII activity (factor VIIIc) and factor IX activity (factor IXc) were assessed. Factor XIc was 113.0% in patients compared with 109.8% in control subjects (difference, 3.2%; 95% CI, 1.1%-5.4%). The risk of myocardial infarction adjusted for age for men in the highest quintile compared with those in the lowest quintile was 1.8-fold increased (ORadj, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.2-2.7). In contrast, factor XIIc among patients with myocardial infarction was lower than in control subjects, respectively, 93.0% and 98.6% (difference, 5.6%; 95% CI, 3.3%-7.9%). The odds ratio of myocardial infarction for men in the highest quintile versus those in the lowest quintile was 0.4 (ORadj, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-0.5). The highest risk was found among men with both high factor XIc and low factor XIIc (analyses in tertiles: ORadj, 6.4; 95% CI, 2.2-18.0). Factor VIIIc increased the risk of myocardial infarction although not dose dependently. Factor IXc increased the risk; odds ratio of myocardial infarction for men in the highest quintile versus those in the lowest quintile was 3.2 (ORadj, 3.2; 95% CI, 2.0-5.1). Thus, factors XIc and XIIc have opposite and synergistic effects on the risk of myocardial infarction in men; factor VIIIc and factor IXc increase the risk.

Abstract
Increased levels of hemostatic factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction by triggering thrombin formation. We measured factor XII (FXII), factor XI (FXI), plasma prekallikrein (PK) and high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) in 200 patients having survived myocardial infarction for at least 2 months, and in 100 healthy controls. We found significantly elevated levels of FXI clotting activity (FXI:C), HK:C and of the amidolytic activity of PK (PK:Am) among the patients as compared to the controls. Plasma levels of FXI:C, HK:C and PK:Am in the highest quartile were associated with an odds ratio of 1.9 (95% CI: 1.0-3.8), 2.0 (95% CI: 1.0-4.0) and 5.4 (95% CI: 2.6-11.2), respectively, compared to the respective plasma levels in the lowest quartile. After correction for established clinical and laboratory risk factors, the association between PK:Am plasma levels and myocardial infarction remained significant (P=0.0007). Combination of high PK:Am plasma levels and smoking or arterial hypertension, respectively, resulted in a more than additive relative risk for myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Whether the in vitro activation of factor XI in plasma is mediated by thrombin or by auto-activation remains a controversial question. In this context, we have simulated theoretical activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) by means of a program based on a body of 22 essential elementary reactions implemented with rate constants quoted in current literature. To meet self-consistency in input data issued from varying sources, the results were optimized using the simplex treatment. The performance of the model was systematically evaluated considering the extent of the deviations observed between predicted aPTT and laboratory measurements conducted on normal and factor VIII, IX, XI and XII single-factor deficient plasma. The influence of the auto-activation or thrombin-mediated activation of factor XI on these aPTTs was tested separately after insertion of these reactions in the model. According to the best fits, a mechanism accounting for an auto-activation reaction of activated factor XI rather than a positive feedback reaction mediated by thrombin seemed more likely. Based on this conclusion, a chart of self-consistent rate constant values accounting for the intrinsic pathway of coagulation under static conditions is proposed.

Abstract
Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is a laboratory test for the diagnosis of blood coagulation disorders. The test consists of two stages: The first one is the preincubation of a plasma sample with negatively charged materials (kaolin, ellagic acid etc.) to activate factors XII and XI; the second stage begins after the addition of calcium ions that triggers a chain of calcium-dependent enzymatic reactions resulting in fibrinogen clotting. Mathematical modeling was used for the analysis of the APTT test. The process of coagulation was described by a set of coupled differential equations that were solved by the numerical method. It was found that as little as 2.3 x 10(-9) microM of factor XIIa (1/10000 of its plasma concentration) is enough to cause the complete activation of factor XII and prekallikrein (PK) during the first 20 s of the preincubation phase. By the end of this phase, kallikrein (K) is completely inhibited, residual activity of factor XIIa is 54%, and factor XI is activated by 26%. Once a clot is formed, factor II is activated by 4%, factor X by 5%, factor IX by 90%, and factor XI by 39%. Calculated clotting time using protein concentrations found in the blood of healthy people was 40.5 s. The most pronounced prolongation of APTT is caused by a decrease in factor X concentration.

Abstract
Previously we defined binding sites for high molecular weight kininogen (HK) and thrombin in the Apple 1 (A1) domain of factor XI (FXI). Since prothrombin (and Ca(2+)) can bind FXI and can substitute for HK (and Zn(2+)) as a cofactor for FXI binding to platelets, we have attempted to identify a prothrombin-binding site in FXI. The recombinant A1 domain (rA1, Glu(1)-Ser(90)) inhibited the saturable, specific and reversible binding of prothrombin to FXI, whereas neither the rA2 domain (Ser(90)-Ala(181)), rA3 domain (Ala(181)-Val(271)), nor rA4 domain (Phe(272)-Glu(361)) inhibited prothrombin binding to FXI. Kinetic binding studies using surface plasmon resonance showed binding of FXI (K(d) approximately 71 nm) and the rA1 domain (K(d) approximately 239 nm) but not rA2, rA3, or rA4 to immobilized prothrombin. Reciprocal binding studies revealed that synthetic peptides (encompassing residues Ala(45)-Ser(86)) containing both HK- and thrombin-binding sites, inhibit (125)I-rA1 (Glu(1)-Ser(90)) binding to prothrombin, (125)I-prothrombin binding to FXI, and (125)I-prothrombin fragment 2 (Ser(156)-Arg(271)) binding to FXI. However, homologous prekallikrein-derived peptides (encompassing Pro(45)-Gly(86)) did not inhibit FXI rA1 binding to prothrombin. The peptides Ala(45)-Arg(54), Phe(56)-Val(71), and Asp(72)-Ser(86), derived from sequences of the A1 domain of FXI, acted synergistically to inhibit (125)I-rA1 binding to prothrombin. Mutant rA1 peptides (V64A and I77A), which did not inhibit FXI binding to HK, retained full capacity to inhibit rA1 domain binding to prothrombin, and mutant rA1 peptides Ala(45)-Ala(54) (D51A) and Val(59)-Arg(70) (E66A), which did not inhibit FXI binding to thrombin, retained full capacity to inhibit rA1 domain binding to prothrombin. Thus, these experiments demonstrate that a prothrombin binding site exists in the A1 domain of FXI spanning residues Ala(45)-Ser(86) that is contiguous with but separate and distinct from the HK- and thrombin-binding sites and that this interaction occurs through the kringle II domain of prothrombin.

Abstract
Since heparin potentiates activated factor XI (FXIa) inhibition by protease nexin-2 by providing a template to which both proteins bind (Zhang, Y., Scandura, J. M., Van Nostrand, W. E., and Walsh, P. N. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 26139-26144), we examined binding of factor XI (FXI) and FXIa to heparin. FXIa binds to heparin (Kd approximately 0.7 x 10(-9) M) >150-fold more tightly than FXI (Kd approximately 1.1 x 10(-7) M). To localize the heparin-binding site on FXI, rationally designed conformationally constrained synthetic peptides were used to compete with 125I-FXI binding to heparin. A peptide derived from the Apple 3 (A3) domain of FXI (Asn235-Arg266) inhibited FXI binding to heparin (Kd approximately 3.4 x 10(-6) M), whereas peptides from the A1 domain (Phe56-Ser86), A2 domain (Ala134-Ala176), and A4 domain (Ala317-Gly350) had no such effect. The recombinant A3 domain (rA3, Ala181-Val271) inhibited FXI binding to heparin (Ki approximately 1.4 x 10(-7) M) indicating that all the information necessary for FXI binding to heparin is contained entirely within the A3 domain. The A3 domain also contains a platelet-binding site (Asn235-Arg266), consisting of three surface-exposed loop structures, Pro229-Gln233, Thr741-Leu246, and Thr249-Phe260 (Baglia, F. A., Jameson, B. A., and Walsh, P. N. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 6734-6740). Only peptide Thr249-Phe260 (which contains a heparin binding consensus sequence, RIKKSKA) inhibits FXI binding to heparin (Ki = 2.1 x 10(-7) M), whereas peptides Pro229-Gln233 and Thr241- Leu246 had no effect. Fine mapping of the heparin-binding site using prekallikrein analogue amino acid substitutions of the synthetic peptide Thr249-Phe260 and alanine scanning of the recombinant A3 indicated that the amino acids Lys252 and Lys253 are important for heparin binding. Thus, the sequence Thr249-Phe260 which contains most of the binding energy for FXI interaction with platelets also mediates the binding of FXI to heparin.

Abstract
Previously we defined a binding site for high molecular weight kininogen (HK) in the A1 domain of factor XI (FXI). Since thrombin can activate FXI and HK inhibits the activation of FXI by thrombin, we have identified a thrombin binding site in FXI. Both the recombinant A1 domain (Glu1-Ser90) and a synthetic peptide (Phe56-Ser86) containing the HK binding site inhibited FXI activation by thrombin. Both a monoclonal antibody, 5F7, recognizing the A1 domain, and the rA1 domain were shown to be competitive inhibitors of thrombin-catalyzed FXI activation. The peptides Ala45-Arg54 and Val59-Arg70 acted synergistically to inhibit FXI activation by thrombin. Mutant rA1 domain constructs (Val64 --> Ala and Ile77 --> Ala), which do not inhibit FXI binding to HK, retain full capacity to inhibit FXI activation by thrombin. The peptide Ala45-Arg54 inhibited thrombin-catalyzed FXI activation, whereas it had no effect on FXI binding to HK. In contrast, the peptide Asn72-Leu83 (which inhibited FXI binding to HK) did not inhibit FXI activation by thrombin. Thus, a thrombin binding site exists in the A1 domain of FXI spanning residues Ala45-Arg70 that is contiguous with but separate and distinct from the HK binding site. These sites may regulate which ligand is bound to FXI and through which pathway FXI is activated.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated the presence of a binding site for high-molecular-mass kininogen (HK), spanning residues Val59-Lys83, in the first Apple (A1) domain in the heavy-chain region of factor XI. We have now prepared conformationally constrained synthetic peptides and recombinant A1 domain (rA1) constructs to identify the specific amino acid residues that constitute the HK-binding site. Expression of the A1 domain (Glu1-Ser90) was achieved in a bacterial expression system following PCR amplification of the A1 domain from factor XI cDNA and ligation into an expression plasmid. The rA1 inhibited factor XI binding to HK [Ki approximately (2-3) x 10(-7) M] in a manner indistinguishable from purified factor XI, indicating that all the information necessary for binding HK is contained within the A1 domain. To identify specific amino acid residues involved in binding HK, conformationally constrained peptides were synthesized containing conservative amino acid substitutions at residues suspected to contain side chains involved in binding, including Val64-->Ala, Glu66-->Ala, Arg73-->Ala and Ile77-->Ala. Because normal results were obtained with all peptides with the exception of Val64-->Ala and Ile77-->Ala, which failed to compete normally with factor XI for binding to HK, we prepared two mutant rA1 domains (Val64-->Ala and Ile77-->Ala) by PCR-based site-directed mutagenesis, both of which exhibited diminished capacity to inhibit factor XI binding to HK. Competition studies with prekallikrein (PK) and a PK-dependent synthetic peptide suggested that PK and factor XI have a common surface in the A1 domain for binding HK of which Val64 is a part. We conclude that the binding of factor XI to HK is mediated at least in part by Val64 and Ile77 in the A1 domain of factor XI.

Abstract
Porcine factor XI and activated factor XI were purified by the introduction of affinity chromatography on high molecular mass kininogen. On the affinity chromatography, it was observed that high affinity exists between porcine factor XI and high molecular mass kininogen. In the preparation, however, factor XII, plasma prekallikrein and high molecular mass kininogen were not detected. The factor XI forms a dimer, and is a heterogeneous molecule, judging from sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Substrate specificity of activated factor XI and inhibition profile of activated factor XI against proteinase inhibitors were investigated by comparison with those of bovine and human activated factor XI. From these results, the properties of porcine activated factor XI show great similarities with those of bovine and human activated factor XI.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a clini-copathological syndrome secondary to an underlying disease. Characteristic laboratory abnormalities of DIC should suggest, much like the recognition of fever, anemia, or congestive heart failure, that an inciting disease process must be searched for. The clinical and laboratory consequences of DIC can be ascribed to the unregulated and unbalanced formation of thrombin, the main clot-forming enzyme, and plasmin, the main clot-lysing enzyme. If too much plasmin is formed in relation to thrombin, a hemorrhagic state, which appears in 60 to 75% of patients with deep vein thrombosis, will occur. Alternatively, if too much thrombin is formed in relation to the degree of secondary fibrinolysis, a thrombotic condition, which appears in 25 to 40% of patients with DIC, will become manifest. The diagnosis of DIC is dependent on the presence of an appropriate clinical situation with concurrent laboratory evidence of thrombin and plasmin formation. Thrombin formation, plasmin formation, or both, can be assessed by detection of fibrin monomer, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, and D-dimer or E fragment, respectively. Treatment of DIC should initially be addressed to treatment of the primary, underlying condition inciting the disorder. If treatment for DIC is specifically needed, blood product replacement is the first order of therapy. This replacement should be tailored to each patient's specific needs (i.e., platelets, fibrinogen, or plasma proteins). Heparin has a definite but limited use in conditions associated with acral cyanosis and dermal ischemia. Other specific therapies for DIC may be of use in individualized situations.

Abstract
N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced rat mammary adenocarcinomas contain high levels of a novel leupeptin-sensitive serine endopeptidase. Its properties apparently differ from those of other similar endopeptidases reported to be present in various normal and malignant mammalian tissues. The same leupeptinsensitive serine endopeptidase was also detected in normal rat mammary tissues, but at levels approximately 20 times lower than those in MNU-induced mammary tumors. This enzyme, which is a trypsin-like serine endopeptidase, preferentially hydrolyzes various synthetic endopeptidase substrates at the carboxyl side of an arginyl residue. It has an apparent Mr of approximately 160,000 and a Stokes radius of 49 A, as determined by gel filtration. Its isoelectric points range from 4.5 to 4.8, and it has a pH optimum of approximately 7.0. The enzyme is stable from pH 4.0 to 7.0, but is extremely unstable above pH 7.0. Besides leupeptin, its activity is inhibited by antipain, aprotinin, N alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, but is not inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor. Many other potential inhibitors or activators such as 2-mercaptoethanol, p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid and EDTA have no effect on its activity. The enzyme is adsorbed to p-aminobenzamidine agarose affinity beads at pH 6.5 and elutes at pH 4.0.

Abstract
Hereditary factor XI deficiency is characterised by a functional deficiency of factor XI and the absence of factor XI-related antigen in circulation. It occurs with a high frequency in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Cloning of abnormal factor XI genes and studies on the molecular genetics of factor XI deficiency show that the cause for factor XI deficiency is heterogeneous. So far, two independent single base substitutions, one at the conserved intron donor consensus dinucleotide of intron N (type I) and a nonsense mutation at the codon for Glu117 (type II), have been identified. These two types of mutation together account for approximately half of the genetic changes in abnormal factor XI genes. At least one or more types of genetic change has yet to be defined. In the course of these studies, rapid methods that utilize the polymerase chain reaction and subsequent restriction endonuclease analysis have been developed.

Abstract
Using a combination of gel permeation chromatography and freeze fracture electron microscopy it was found that the ability of sulfatides to promote contact activation in human plasma is associated with the ability of sulfatides to form bilayer structures. When sulfatides were dispersed in buffer at 70 degrees C by vortexing, large liposomes were found ranging in size between 2-5 micron diameter. Contact activation promoting activity was associated with these particles. Sonication resulted in the formation of small vesicles and stacked vesicles of 400-2000 A diameter and biological activity was associated with these vesicles. Homogeneous preparations of small unilamellar vesicles (500 A diameter) can be obtained by chromatography over Sepharose 2B.

Abstract
A sensitive assay for quantitating bovine activated Factor XI (Factor XIa) in vitro was developed by measuring the amidolytic activity of thrombin generated in a mixture of Factors XIa, IX and X and prothrombin prepared from bovine source and washed bovine platelets. In this system, the rate of thrombin generation increased linearly with increasing amounts (fmoles) of Factor XIa. The assay system for Factor XIa was not significantly affected by the presence of plasma kallikrein, Factor XIIa, high-molecular-weight kininogen, amylose sulfate or sulfatide within the range of the amounts used for surface-mediated activation of Factor XII, prekallikrein and Factor XI. Following surface-mediated activation of Factor XI, further generation of Factor XIa was blocked by adding freeze-thawed platelets that contain cationic proteins which bind to negatively-charged surfaces (J. Biochem. 97, 139-151, 1985). The method is useful to the kinetic analysis of the surface-mediated activation of Factors XII and XI, although it is not applicable to the activation in plasma.

Abstract
The interaction of Factor XIIa with Factor XI was investigated using two monoclonal antibodies, one (3Cl) directed against the heavy chain of Factor XIa and the other (5F4) against its light chain. 3C1 either as intact IgG or as Fab' fragment, enhanced the rate of Factor XIa generation in the fluid phase but inhibited it in the presence of kaolin and high molecular weight (HMW) kininogen. In contrast, the Fab' fragments of 5F4 inhibited only the fluid phase activation and had no effect on the surface-mediated activation. 3C1 was found to block the binding of Factor XI to HMW kininogen, whereas 5F4 did not. We conclude: a domain on the heavy chain region of Factor XI is essential for binding to HMW kininogen and for optimal surface-mediated activation by Factor XIIa; and binding of 3C1 to Factor XI changes its conformation rendering it a more favorable substrate for Factor XIIa in the fluid phase.

Abstract
The evolution in mammals of the zymogens of the contact activation system of coagulation (factor XII, prekallikrein and factor XI) has been investigated. The NH2-terminal sequences of human plasma prekallikrein and the heavy and light chains of kallikrein have been determined and compared with those of bovine prekallikrein and of human and bovine factors XII and XI. The human and bovine NH2-terminal sequences of the light chains (catalytic polypeptide) show striking similarities both among themselves and with those of the catalytic polypeptide chains of other coagulation and digestive proteases, indicating a common origin. Comparison of the NH2-terminal sequences of human prekallikrein with those of the bovine prekallikrein and human bovine factors XIa and XIIa indicates a common origin of the heavy chain of kallikrein and factor XIa, different from that of either factor XIIa or other known amino acid sequences. Ancestral sequences for human and bovine prekallikrein and factor XI, deduced by genetic analysis of the minimum number of base changes indicate that the NH2-terminus of prekallikrein and factor XI have evolved at about the same rate. The estimated time for the gene duplication was about 124 million years ago, a value consistent with the age of the mammals.

Abstract
A lambda gtll cDNA library prepared from human liver poly(A) RNA has been screened with affinity-purified antibody to human factor XI, a blood coagulation factor composed of two identical polypeptide chains linked by a disulfide bond(s). A cDNA insert coding for factor XI was isolated and shown to contain 2097 nucleotides, including 54 nucleotides coding for a leader peptide of 18 amino acids and 1821 nucleotides coding for 607 amino acids that are present in each of the 2 chains of the mature protein. The cDNA for factor XI also contained a stop codon (TGA), a potential polyadenylation or processing sequence (AACAAA), and a poly(A) tail at the 3' end. Five potential N-glycosylation sites were found in each of the two chains of factor XI. The cleavage site for the activation of factor XI by factor XIIa was identified as an internal peptide bond between Arg-369 and Ile-370 in each polypeptide chain. This was based upon the amino acid sequence predicted by the cDNA and the amino acid sequence previously reported for the amino-terminal portion of the light chain of factor XI. Each heavy chain of factor XIa (369 amino acids) was found to contain 4 tandem repeats of 90 (or 91) amino acids plus a short connecting peptide. Each repeat probably forms a separate domain containing three internal disulfide bonds. The light chains of factor XIa (each 238 amino acids) contain the catalytic portion of the enzyme with sequences that are typical of the trypsin family of serine proteases. The amino acid sequence of factor XI shows 58% identity with human plasma prekallikrein.

Abstract
This review is intended to be a critical state-of-the-art overview of the activation and inhibition of the proteins (factor XII, prekallikrein, high molecular weight kininogen, and factor XI) of the contact phase of coagulation. Specifically, this review will reconsider the concept of the reciprocal activation of the proteases of the contact phase of coagulation, factor XII, and prekallikrein, in light of much recent evidence indicating that factor XII, itself, autoactivates when associated with negatively charged surfaces. In addition, the mechanisms for amplification of activation of the proteins of the contact phase of coagulation will be discussed from the pivotal role of high molecular weight kininogen, or one of its altered forms, serving as a cofactor to order the activation of the zymogens it is associated with. The role and relative importance of each of the naturally occurring plasma protease inhibitors (C1-inhibitor, alpha-2-macroglobulin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, antithrombin III, and alpha-1-antiplasmin) will be assessed as they relate to the dampening of contact phase activation. Finally, the contact phase of coagulation activation will be discussed not only as a plasma proteolytic mechanism, but also as it interacts with platelets.

Abstract
Steady state kinetic studies have provided evidence for intrinsic prothrombinase activity of human factor X zymogen in a chromogenic assay system. Using a prothrombin substrate, kinetic parameters have been obtained for the action of factors X and Xa. The Km for prothrombin is of a different order of magnitude for the zymogen as compared with the active enzyme. Using a kinetic approach, we have obtained evidence for the binding of factor Xa zymogen to cofactors essential for the coagulant activity of factor Xa. Zymogen enzymatic activity is not inhibited by a specific serine proteinase inhibitor, (p-amidino-phenyl)methanesulfonyl fluoride (p-APMSF), a potent inhibitor of factor Xa. The apparent slow rate of zymogen inhibition by antithrombin III (AT III) as compared with the active enzyme suggests a different kind of zymogen-antithrombin interaction. Blood clotting studies paralleled the kinetic data. Factor X zymogen evidences factor VIII inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA) in an in vitro direct clotting system employing factor VIII deficient inhibitor plasma as substrate in both activated or nonactivated partial thromboplastin assay. Most significantly, zymogen coagulant is refractory to inhibition by p-APMSF or AT III. We conclude that a system consisting of factor X zymogen-phospholipid-factor Va can physiologically initiate blood clotting in the presence of inhibitors and may have a major role in the bypass mechanism of therapeutic prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC).

Abstract
The subsite specificities of bovine factor IXa, factor Xa, factor XIa, factor XIIa, thrombin, plasma kallikrein, and trypsin were mapped with amino acid, dipeptide, and longer peptide thioester substrates. Each substrate contained a P1 Arg residue. The P1' residues included thiol residues which are analogues of valine, leucine, and isoleucine, respectively, and the P2 residue included 12 representative amino acid residues. Longer substrates with the sequence at the antithrombin III reactive site and at the zymogen activation site of various coagulation factors were also studied. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the thioesters was measured in the presence of 4,4'-dithiodipyridine which provides a very sensitive assay for the free thiol. The thioesters were excellent substrates for the coagulation factors studied, and the kcat/Km values for the best thioester substrates were higher than those previously reported for most of these enzymes. Thrombin and plasma kallikrein were the most active of the coagulation factors toward the thioester substrates. The best substrate for thrombin was Z-Gly-Arg-SCH2C6H5, although substrates containing proline in the P2 position were also quite effective. Some of the better substrates for plasma kallikrein had a P2 Phe or Trp residue. Factor IXa was the least reactive of the coagulation factors and hydrolyzed only four of the dipeptide thioesters. Substrates with bulky hydrophobic groups such as Phe or Trp in the P2 position were the most reactive with factor IXa. Factor Xa hydrolyzed all the thioester substrates tested, the most reactive being Z-Gly-Arg-SCH2C6H5. This is consistent with the fact that glycine and arginine are present in the P2 and P1 positions, respectively, of the factor Xa sensitive bonds in prothrombin which is the physiological substrate for factor Xa. Bovine factor XIa showed the least amount of specificity of the various coagulation factors and was quite reactive toward all of the thioester substrates. The most sensitive substrate for this enzyme was also Z-Gly-Arg-SCH2C6H5. Factor XIIa preferred the dipeptide with a P2 Phe, although the simpler thioester Z-Arg-SCH2CH(CH3)2 was more reactive. Trypsin hydrolyzed all of the thioester substrates at a high rate and showed little substrate specificity. With all enzymes studied, extension of the thioester substrate beyond P2 or the P1' thiol leaving group did not lead to an improvement in hydrolysis. Due to their high kcat/Km values and the ease of detecting the thiol leaving group, thioester substrates should be extremely useful for future studies of coagulation proteases.

Abstract
The activation of plasma prekallikrein by single-chain factor XII has been studied in the presence of high molecular weight kininogen and kaolin. The data indicate that factor XII can initiate blood coagulation, fibrinolysis or kinin generation in the presence of kaolin and does so by converting prekallikrein to kallikrein. An enzyme cascade is then generated leading to the formation of fibrin, plasmin or bradykinin in three closely related physiological events.
