Factor Xa cleaves after the arginine residue in its preferred cleavage site Ile-Glu/Asp-Gly-Arg. It will sometimes cleave at other basic residues, depending on the conformation of the protein substrate. The most common secondary site, among those that have been sequenced, is Gly-Arg.

Factor Xa cleaves after the arginine residue in its preferred cleavage site Ile-(Glu or Asp)-Gly-Arg. It will sometimes cleave at other basic residues, depending on the conformation of the protein substrate (1,2,3). The most common secondary site, among those that have been sequenced, is Gly-Arg. There seems to be a correlation between proteins that are unstable in E.coli and those that are cleaved by Factor Xa at secondary sites; this may indicate that these proteins are in a partially unfolded state (Walker, I., Riggs, P., unpublished observations). Factor Xa will not cleave a site followed by proline or arginine.
Product Source
Factor Xa Protease is purified from bovine plasma and activated by treatment with the activating enzyme from Russell's viper venom.

NEB # Component Name Component # Stored at (°C) Amount Concentration
  Factor Xa Protease P8010SVIAL -20 1 x 0.05 ml 1 mg/ml
  Factor Xa Protease P8010LVIAL -20 1 x 0.25 ml 1 mg/ml

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

1 μg of Factor Xa will cleave 50 μg of MBP fusion protein test substrate, MBP-ΔSal to 95% completion in a total reaction volume of 50 μl in 6 hours or less at 23°C in 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0 @ 25°C) with 100 mM NaCl and 2 mM CaCl2.

Usage Concentration

1 mg/ml

Removal

Factor Xa will bind specifically to benzamidine-agarose.

Molecular Weight

Theoretical: 43 kDa

Deactivation

Dansyl-glu-gly-arg-chloromethyl ketone (CALBIOCHEM, #251700) will irreversibly inactivate Factor Xa by covalent attachment at the active site. In a reaction containing 20 μg/ml Factor Xa, 2 μM dansyl-glu-gly-arg-chloromethyl ketone will inactivate >95% of the Factor Xa in 1 minute at room temperature.

Notes
  • The test substrate MBP-ΔSal is maltose-binding protein fused to a truncated form of paramyosin, with the amino acids Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg at the fusion joint. Greater than 95% of the fusion protein is cleaved in 6 hours or less.
