The prothrombin-converting activity of Factor Xa was enhanced by thrombin-stimulated Factor V-deficient platelets and supplementary extraneous Factor Va, and also by thrombin-stimulated normal human platelets. Both extraneous Factor Va and intra-platelet Factor Va were equally inactivated by a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing plasma protease, activated protein C. However, a relatively larger amount of activated protein C was required for efficient inactivation of platelet-associated Factor Va as compared with the amount of activated protein C needed for inactivation of phospholipid vesicle-associated Factor Va. Protein S, another gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing plasma protein, increased the rate of the inactivation of platelet-associated Factor Va about 25-fold. This stimulating effect was observed only slightly with the thrombin-modified protein S. Thus, it was concluded that protein S is essential for the process of inactivation of platelet-associated Factor Va by activated protein C.
