Protein S (also known as PROS) is a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. In the circulation, Protein S exists in two forms: a free form and a complex form bound to complement protein C4b-binding protein (C4BP). In humans, protein S is encoded by the PROS1 gene.[5][6] Protein S plays a role in coagulation.

History

Protein S is named for Seattle, Washington, where it was originally discovered and purified[7] by Earl Davie's group in 1977.[8]

Structure

Protein S is partly

C4BP.[9][10]

Additionally, protein S has a peptide between the Gla domain and the EGF-like domain, that is cleaved by

disulfide bond. However, protein S loses its function as an APC cofactor following either this cleavage or binding C4BP.[11]

Function

The best characterized function of Protein S is its role in the anti coagulation pathway, where it functions as a cofactor to Protein C in the inactivation of Factors Va and VIIIa. Only the free form has cofactor activity.[12]

Protein S binds to negatively charged

macrophages. Protein S binds to the negatively charged phospholipids and functions as a bridge between the apoptotic cell and the phagocyte. This bridging expedites phagocytosis and allows the cell to be removed without giving rise to inflammation
or other signs of tissue damage.

Protein S does not bind to the nascent complement complex C5,6,7 to prevents it from inserting into a membrane. This is a different complement protein S AKA vitronectin made by the VTN gene, not to be confused with the coagulation protein S made by the PROS gene which this wiki page concerns.

Pathology

Mutations in the PROS1 gene can lead to Protein S deficiency which is a rare blood disorder which can lead to an increased risk of thrombosis.[13][14]

Interactions

Protein S has been shown to interact with Factor V.[15][16]
