    BACKGROUND: Factor VIII (FVIII) is activated by thrombin to the labile FVIIIa, a heterotrimer of A1, A2 and A3C1C2 subunits, which serves as a cofactor for FIXa. A primary reason for the instability of FVIIIa is the tendency for the A2 subunit to dissociate from FVIIIa leading to an inactive cofactor and consequent loss of FXase activity. OBJECTIVE: Based on our finding of low-specific activity and a fast decay rate for a FVIII point mutation of Glu1829 to Ala (E1829A), we examined whether residue Glu1829 in the A3 subunit is important for A2 subunit retention. RESULTS: The rate of activity decay of E1829A was approximately fourteen fold faster than wild-type (wt) FVIIIa and this rate was reduced in the presence of added A2 subunit. Specific activity values for E1829A measured by one-stage and two-stage assays were approximately 14% and approximately 11%, respectively, compared with wt FVIII. Binding affinity for the A1 subunit to E1829A-A3C1C2 was comparable to wt A3C1C2 (K(d) = 20.1 +/- 3.4 nM for E1829A, 15.3 +/- 3.7 nM for wt), whereas A2 subunit affinity for the A1/A3C1C2 dimer forms was reduced by approximately 3.6-fold as a result of the mutation (K(d) = 526 +/- 107 nM for E1829A, 144 +/- 21 nM for wt). CONCLUSION: As modeling data suggest that Glu1829 is located at the A2-A3 domain interface these results are consistent with Glu1829 contributing to the interactions involved with A2 subunit retention in FVIIIa.
