  Nature is always the best inspiration for basic research. A family with severe thrombosis and antithrombin deficiency, the strongest anticoagulant, carried a New mutation affecting the translation-start codon of SERPINC1, the gene encoding antithrombin. Expression of this variant in a eukaryotic cell system produced three different antithrombins. Two downstream methionines were used as alternative initiation codons, generating highly expressed small aglycosylated antithrombins with cytoplasmic localization. Wild-type antithrombin was generated by the use of the mutated AUU as initiation codon. Actually, any codon except for the three stop codons might be used to initiate translation in this strong Kozak context. We show unexpected consequences of natural mutations affecting translationstart codons. Downstream alternative initiation AUG codons may be used when the start codon is mutated, generating smaller molecules with potential different cell localization, biochemical features and unexplored consequences. Additionally, our data further support the use of other codons apart from AUG for initiation of translation in eukaryotes.

  Background The Coagulation Inhibitor Potential (CIP) assay is a global assay that may detect major thrombophilia at a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 70-80%. Subnormal CIP may be associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Aims Compare the effect on CIP in plasma samples from postmenopausal women treated with four different therapeutic regimens. Methods Fibrin aggregation in plasma was monitored after activation of coagulation with tissue factor, and the effect of potentiated inhibition of coagulation was measured. The assay was performed on plasma samples from 202 healthy women who were randomly assigned to receive treatment for twelve weeks with conventional-dose hormone therapy (HT), low-dose HT, raloxifene or tibolone. Major thrombophilias were excluded. Twelve women were heterozygous carriers of the factor V Leiden mutation. Results Compared to baseline the median level in CIP was reduced by 64% in the conventional-dose HT group, by 38% in the low-dose HT group, 31% in the raloxifene group, whereas for those treated with tibolone median CIP increased by 9%. The median changes in CIP were significant for both the HT groups (P  0.0001) and for those allocated to raloxifene (P = 0.003), but not for the tibolone group (P = 0.653). Women with heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation had significantly reduced median CIP level (P  0.0001) at baseline. Conclusions: HT and raloxifene, associated with VTE, reduce CIP. Tibolone does not reduce CIP.

  Three global assays, the Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT), the ProC Global (PCG), and the Coagulation Inhibitor Potential (CIP) were performed in frozen plasma samples from 24 normal controls and 24 patients with inherited thrombophilia. Six patients had inherited antithrombin (AT) deficiency; 18 patients had abnormalities in the protein C/S anticoagulant system (protein C deficiency (n=3), protein S deficiency (n=10), homozygous FV Leiden mutation (n=5)). Nine of these twenty four patients carried additionally the heterozygous FV Leiden mutation. All three assays separated the thrombophilia group and the control group (P=0.083 for CAT, P<0.0001 for the other two assays) but there was considerable overlap, particularly in the CAT assay. The CAT assay separated all plasma samples with AT deficiency but was less sensitive to abnormalities in the protein C/S system. In contrast, ProC Global was more sensitive to abnormalities in the protein C system than to AT deficiency. The CIP assay was approximately equally sensitive to defects in both systems. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves confirmed that the ProC Global and the CIP assays performed better than the CAT assay (P=0.0179 and P=0.0003, respectively). With the CIP assay ROC analysis showed that with a sensitivity of 100% the specificity was 87.5%. With the PCG assay, optimal threshold resulted in both a sensitivity and a specificity of 79.2%. Although our material is relatively small, the data suggest that at a cut-off value with a specificity of >80%, the CIP assay should be evaluated as a screening test for severe thrombophilia.
