Association Rate Constants

In order to determine the specificity of the interaction between thrombin and glia-derived nexin (GdN), the inactivation of proteolytically modified human thrombin species by GdN has been studied. The second-order rate constants for the inactivation of alpha-, beta T-, gamma T- and epsilon-thrombin by GdN were 1.41, 0.63, 0.33 and 1.91 microM-1.s-1 respectively. The kinetic properties of gdN were also investigated in the presence of different types of heparin, fractionated according to antithrombin III-binding affinity. Association rate constants of both gdN and antithrombin III with alpha-thrombin were obtained using unfractionated, low- and high-affinity heparin types. The different heparin types gave optimal rates of inhibition at similar heparin concentrations for both inhibitors. At optimal heparin concentrations, the rate of inactivation of alpha-thrombin by GdN was 0.5-1.2 nM-1.s-1, which suggests that, under these conditions, the interaction is diffusion-controlled.
