The Construction of a Molecular Model for the Ternary Protein Complex of Intrinsic Coagulation Pathway Factors Provides Novel Insights for the Pathogenesis of Cross-Reactive Material Positive Coagulation Factor Mutations.

ABSTRACT: The human coagulation pathway orchestrates a complex series of events vital for maintaining vascular integrity, in which the intrinsic pathway plays a pivotal role in amplifying and propagating the coagulation response. Dysregulation of this pathway can lead to various bleeding disorders and thrombotic complications, posing significant health risks. In this pathway, the activation of Factor (F) X zymogen is catalyzed by the FVIIIa-FIXa binary complex, but knowledge about this is still incomplete. Understanding the structural and functional intricacies of the FVIIIa-FIXa-FX (zymogen) complex is imperative for unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying coagulation regulation and guiding the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. In this study, utilizing Alphafold-Multimer and
