The calcium-mediated interaction of factor VIIa with tissue factor is considered to be the primary trigger of blood coagulation. To determine the role of calcium ions in the action of factor VII, we prepared monoclonal antibodies whose binding to factor VII was calcium-dependent. A monoclonal antibody designated C6 strongly inhibited factor VII-induced clotting at a molar ratio of factor VII to antibody of 1:1. The half-maximal binding of factor VII to the C6 antibody was observed at a concentration of calcium ions of 80 microM. Proteolytic fragments of factor VII were assayed for their ability to inhibit competitively the binding of 125I-factor VII to immobilized C6 antibody. The binding was inhibited by increasing amounts of factor VII, by a fragment that contained the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain linked to first epidermal growth factor-like domain, and by a Gla domain peptide (residues 1-41), over a range of concentration of 10(-9) to 10(-7) M. The antigenic site recognized by the monoclonal antibody C6, which was generated upon the high-affinity binding of calcium ions, was located in the Gla domain. The C6 antibody inhibited the activation of factor X and the amidolytic activity of factor VIIa in the presence of tissue factor. These results demonstrate that a high-affinity calcium-binding site(s) is located in the Gla domain of factor VII, which is concerned with the initiation of tissue factor-mediated blood coagulation by factor VIIa.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
