  • prothrombin scranton substitution of an amino acid residue involved in the binding of na lys 556 to thr leads to Dysprothrombinemia
    Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2001
    Co-Authors: William Sun, David Smirnow, Mallory L. Jenkins, Sandra Friezner J Degen
    Abstract:

    Several members of a family from Scranton, Pennsylvania were identified to have normal levels of prothrombin antigen while their prothrombin clotting activity was approximately 50% of normal. There has been no previous history of bleeding or other clinical manifestations in this family. The genomic DNA from the proband was amplified for all exons in the prothrombin gene and analyzed by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP)/heteroduplex analysis followed by DNA sequence analysis and restriction enzyme digestion. A mutation at nucleotide 20040 in exon 14 was identified and confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion. This mutation results in the substitution of Thr for Lys at amino acid 556. Amino acid 556 has been reported as one of the key residues for the binding of Na+ in the thrombin portion of the protein.

  • Prothrombin Scranton: substitution of an amino acid residue involved in the binding of Na+ (LYS-556 to THR) leads to Dysprothrombinemia.

  • Prothrombin San Antonio: a single amino acid substitution at a factor Xa activation site (Arg320 to His) results in Dysprothrombinemia.
    Blood, 2000
    Co-Authors: William Sun, Melissa C. Burkart, Joseph R. Holahan, Sandra J. Friezner Degen
    Abstract:

    Three members of a San Antonio, Texas, family were identified with prothrombin activity levels half the normal level but to have normal levels of antigen. All exons of the prothrombin gene from the proband were sequenced. A G-to-A mutation at nucleotide 7543 was found that resulted in the substitution of His for Arg at residue 320. The Arg320-Ile321 bond is 1 of 2 sites in prothrombin cleaved by Factor Xa in the prothrombinase complex to form thrombin. Substitution of His for Arg at this site resulted in the blockage of Factor Xa cleavage, forming a dysfunctional molecule. The proband, her mother, and her maternal aunt were found to be heterozygous for this mutation. This is the first known observation of an amino acid substitution at this site that resulted in Dysprothrombinemia.
