Antithrombin is a major proteinase inhibitor of the blood coagulation system. Its inherited deficiency or abnormality is often associated with thromboembolism. Antithrombin "Northwick Park," a functionally inactive variant antithrombin, has recently been shown by us (Lane, D.A., Flynn, A., Ireland, H., Erdjument, H., Samson, D., Howarth, D., and Thompson, E. (1987) Br. J. Haematol. 65,451-456) to be present in plasma, in part, as a high Mr (approximately 120,000) component which has a characteristic electrophoretic mobility in agarose gels in the absence of denaturing agents. In this communication, we present evidence that this Mr approximately 120,000 variant component is comprised of an antithrombin-albumin covalent disulfide-linked complex. This proposal is supported by results of: (a) fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of the isolated reduced, S-carboxymethylated, trypsin-digested Mr approximately 120,000 complex; (b) sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of this complex and its reduced and S-carboxymethylated constituents; (c) immunoblotting of these polyacrylamide gels with antisera specific for antithrombin and albumin; (d) NH2-terminal sequence analysis of one of the isolated, S-carboxymethylated proteins that comprise the Mr approximately 120,000 complex; and (e) fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of its tryptic peptides.
