Abstract Number: OC 55.2

Meeting: ISTH 2022 Congress

Theme: Coagulation and Natural Anticoagulants » FVIII/IX

Background: Deficiency in blood coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) results in life-threating bleeding (Hemophilia A), which is treated by infusions of therapeutic FVIII. Understanding FVIII plasma clearance mechanisms facilitates generation of prolonged plasma lifetime FVIII to improve the disease treatment. An important FVIII clearance receptor is the hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1). Previous studies indicated multiplicity of FVIII binding sites for LRP1 and complexity of the molecules’ interaction, at the same time, defined to be bivalent. However, the exact mechanism of this interaction remains unknown.

Aims: To characterize the bivalent sites of LRP1 and build a model of its interaction with FVIII.

Methods: Recombinant ligand-binding complement-type repeat (CR) fragments of LRP1 and their mutant variants were generated using a baculovirus system and tested for interactions with FVIII using surface plasmon resonance, a tissue culture model of LRP1-mediated internalization of FVIII, hydrogen‐deuterium exchange mass-spectrometry, and in silico docking.

Results: We identified a series of adjacent LRP1 CR doublets providing minimal requisite sites for binding FVIII and showed an additive effect of other CR domains on FVIII-LRP1 affinity. A CR doublet was found to provide the bivalent interaction following the canonical mode of ligand recognition by the receptor in addition to the non-canonical electrostatic contributions of other CR domains. For selected CR doublets, we found numerous contact sites on FVIII.

Conclusion(s): We characterized LRP1 bivalent binding sites for FVIII, confirmed their relevance to the canonical mode, and described a real-time LRP1 interactive site. We propose that LRP1 interacts with FVIII via a string of CR domains providing both canonical bivalent and non-canonical electrostatic contacts switched over time in a dynamic mode (Fig. 1) that represents a novel mechanism of biomolecular interaction.
