Abstract
The structure of recombinant tick anticoagulant peptide (rTAP) complexed to bovine factor Xa at 3.0 A resolution reveals the structural basis for the specificity and the high affinity of rTAP. Three N-terminal residues, Tyr501, Asn502 and Arg503, play a critical role in the complex formation as suggested by earlier mutagenic studies and the ornithodorin-thrombin complex. Unexpectedly, the side-chain of Tyr501 is located in the S1 pocket, although factor Xa favors arginine as a P1 residue. Arg503 is located at the aryl binding pocket and forms a salt-bridge with Glu97 of factor Xa. The autolysis loop, which is disordered in the uninhibited factor Xa structure, is involved in the formation of the complex as a part of the secondary binding site. The C-terminal helix of rTAP interacts with factor Xa as a secondary binding determinant. The N-terminal residues of rTAP reorganize during the formation of the factor Xa-rTAP complex from the conformation found in the solution into an extended conformation. The presence of the secondary binding site confirms the proposed two-step kinetic mechanism based on the results of a mutagenesis study.

Figure 2. Stereo view of the (F[o] -F[c]) electron density map around the N-terminal residue Tyr501. The N terminus (Tyr501 to Arg503) of rTAP (yellow) is locked into the active site of factor Xa (atom type) to form a complex with rTAP. The phases were calculated without the coordinates of the first three N-terminal residues of rTAP. The electron density map was contoured at 2.5 s.

Although the use of alpha-helix and the N-terminal amino acid residues is conserved between these two proteins, the orientation of these groups is different in each structure.
