Factor VIII functions in an enzyme complex upon the activated platelet membrane where phosphatidylserine exposure correlates with expression of receptors for factor VIII. To evaluate the specificity of phosphatidylserine-containing membrane binding sites for factor VIII, we have developed a novel membrane model in which phospholipid bilayers are supported by glass microspheres (lipospheres). The binding of fluorescein-labeled factor VIII to lipospheres with membranes of 15% phosphatidylserine was equivalent to binding to phospholipid vesicles (KD = 4.8 nM). Purified von Willebrand factor (vWf), a carrier protein for factor VIII, decreased membrane binding of factor VIII with a Ki of 10 micrograms/ml. Likewise, normal plasma decreased bound factor VIII by more than 90% whereas plasma lacking vWf decreased the binding of factor VIII by only 20%. Proteolytic activation of factor VIII by thrombin, which releases factor VIII from vWf, increased liposphere binding in the presence of vWf and in the presence of normal plasma. Although factor V is homologous to factor VIII and binds to lipospheres with the same affinity, purified factor V was not an efficient competitor for the membrane binding sites of factor VIII. These results indicate that phosphatidylserine-containing membrane sites have sufficient specificity to select thrombin-activated factor VIII from the range of phospholipid-binding proteins in plasma.
