Factor VIIIa is a trimer of A1, A2, and A3-C1-C2 subunits.
Inactivation of the cofactor by human activated protein C (APC) results
from preferential cleavage at Arg336 within the A1 subunit, followed by
cleavage at Arg562 bisecting the A2 subunit. In the presence of human
protein S, the rate of APC-dependent factor VIIIa inactivation
increased several-fold and correlated with an increased rate of
cleavage at Arg562. (Active site-modified) factor IXa, blocked cleavage
at the A2 site. However, APC-catalyzed inactivation of factor VIIIa
proceeded at a similar rate independent of factor IXa, consistent with
the location of the preferential cleavage site within the A1 subunit.
Addition of protein S failed to increase the rate of cleavage at the A2
site when factor IXa was present. In the presence of factor X, cofactor
inactivation was inhibited, due to a reduced rate of cleavage at
Arg336. However, inclusion of protein S restored near original rates of
factor VIIIa inactivation and cleavage at the A1 site, thus overcoming the factor X-dependent protective effect. These results suggest that in
the human system, protein S stimulates APC-catalyzed factor VIIIa
inactivation by facilitating cleavage of A2 subunit (an effect retarded
in the presence of factor IXa), as well as abrogating protective
interactions of the cofactor with factor X.
