Gene Description

F11 encodes coagulation factor XI, a secreted plasma zymogen that forms a disulfide-linked homodimer. Proteolytic activation generates factor XIa, with each subunit containing an apple-domain heavy chain and a catalytic light chain linked by a disulfide bond. Factor XIa activates factor IX by cleaving two internal peptide bonds, sustaining the protease cascade that produces a blood clot. Its A3 apple domain contributes to recognition of factor IX, while the serine-protease domain performs bond hydrolysis. Factor XI also associates peripherally with the external surface of platelets through receptor- and cofactor-dependent interactions. Deficiency of factor XI causes a bleeding disorder, particularly after injury or surgery.

GO:0004252 serine-type endopeptidase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain activated factor XI serine endopeptidase activity.
Reason: The EC 3.4.21.27 entry explicitly names internal Arg–Ala and Arg–Val cleavage in factor IX, and the actual human sequence has the mapped trypsin domain and catalytic-histidine signature. PMID:22961984 directly measures sequential internal factor IX cleavage by activated recombinant human FXI, with factor XIIa removal/inhibition controls. This establishes the enzyme activity rather than merely inferring it from coagulation necessity. The zymogen must first be activated; the assay does not establish equivalent processing or activity of both natural products.

Summary: Activated human factor XI is a serine endopeptidase.
Reason: PMID:9593722 characterizes platelet and megakaryocyte transcripts; its discussion of earlier platelet proteolysis is not a new purified splice-product assay. Independent original PMID:15545266 measures substrate hydrolysis by the recombinant human FXIa catalytic domain and resolves substrate-like ecotin contacts. PMID:10823824 also tests human FXI in coagulation assays. These support the established serine endopeptidase activity after activation, without claiming that the circulating zymogen or the separately described 571-residue product was catalytically tested in the transcript study.

Reason: The immutable TAS source already names serine-type endopeptidase activity. PMID:10823824 tests human recombinant FXI in activated-platelet and phospholipid-supported clotting assays and describes conversion to FXIa. Independent original PMID:15545266 directly measures peptide-substrate hydrolysis by the human FXIa catalytic domain and resolves its serine-protease substrate-binding architecture. Retain this established catalytic activity after activation, without claiming constitutive activity of the zymogen or a demonstrated assay of the shorter natural splice product.

Summary: Human FXIa catalytic domain binds engineered ecotin inhibitors and substrates.
Reason: The original PMID:15545266 Experimental Procedures and Results describe human FXIa catalytic-domain residues 370–607 in the paper’s mature-protein numbering, expressed in Pichia pastoris, and E. coli-produced ecotin M84R/M84D/M84P variants. Purified complexes and crystal structures establish direct association, with inhibitor or substrate behavior depending on the ecotin mutant. These are engineered domain preparations, not an endogenous human regulatory complex. The inspected ontology alternatives would assign protease binding or inhibitor activity to the opposite partner; no suitable more specific inhibitor-binding MF was established. Retain positive binding as non-core.

Summary: The reported FXIa–protein C inhibitor association remains positive but incompletely verified.
Reason: The verified PMID:2844223 abstract explicitly reports inhibition of human FXIa by protein C inhibitor, heparin-dependent acceleration, and complex detection by electrophoresis and immunoblotting. The complete original Methods and target-specific complex results were not recovered from the publisher or institutional record. This prevents a fully verified source-specific binding disposition here; it does not contradict the interaction or imply that the curator selected the wrong gene. Inhibitor activity belongs to SERPINA5, and no supported more specific binding refinement for FXIa was established from the accessible material.

Reason: Native human factor XI was purified from plasma and activated in the operative experiments of PMID:89876. Human recombinant FXI is also recovered from conditioned medium in PMID:22961984. These independently support extracellular location.

Independent native human plasma purification in PMID:89876 verifies this location.

Factor XIIa performs the activation cleavage; FXI is its substrate in this event.

Summary: Refine proteolysis to the demonstrated activation of a zymogen.
Reason: Activated human FXI directly cleaves inactive factor IX to its active form in PMID:22961984. Current GO:0031638 defines precisely this proteolytic activation and is a descendant of protein processing and proteolysis. F11 performs the cleavage here; it is not merely the substrate of its own F12/F2-dependent activation. The InterPro mappings remain valid but broader than the measured target role. GO:0031639 plasminogen activation is an is_a descendant of GO:0031638, but it describes a different substrate-specific reaction. The independent FIX-cleavage experiment supports retaining zymogen activation for the central coagulation role; plasminogen activation remains a specialized non-core context. This is refinement of an existing proteolysis assertion, not a NEW term added for graph coverage.

Independently, PMID:22961984 Experimental Procedures and Figure 2 directly measure recombinant human FXIa cleavage of human FIX, and PMID:10823824 uses kaolin-activated partial thromboplastin-time assays in FXI-deficient plasma. The current GO:0007597 definition explicitly includes the FXIa-to-FIXa step, supporting intrinsic-pathway participation rather than only broad coagulation. The typed path to blood coagulation consists of part_of relations. This refinement does not make F11 merely a substrate of upstream activation or imply that all FXI activation must start with FXII.

Reason: PMID:89876 measures plasminogen-dependent fibrin lysis after activation of purified human FXI. The selected original Methods and Results include no-Hageman-fragment controls, deficient-plasma comparisons and immunological/enzymatic checks against kallikrein contamination. FXIa therefore performs an upstream activating step rather than merely being a consumed substrate. Retain positive regulation of fibrinolysis as a specialized non-core experimental context; the prolonged, concentrated in vitro preparations and acknowledged disagreement with earlier studies do not establish physiological dominance.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain the rule-supported fibrinolytic effect as non-core.
Reason: ARBA00089948 has an exact match to the target FunFam 3.50.4.10:FF:000001 and Primates lineage. PMID:89876 independently shows an increase in plasminogen-dependent fibrin digestion after FXI activation. The high-concentration purified-protein experiment supports this secondary activity without establishing its dominance in physiological clot turnover.

ARBA:ARBA00089948 SUPPORTS TRANSFER
The captured target satisfies the full current clause; physiological scope remains bounded by the original assay.

MODIFY
Summary: Replace unsupported amino-terminal specificity with the demonstrated endopeptidase function.
Reason: The Ensembl donor trace reaches rat F11 A0A0G2K4I9 and two RGD IDA records. PMID:15331420 actually measures rat plasma FXI functional activity during an arthritis experiment; its Methods refer the FXI assay to a prior microplate method, and its Results report changes in plasma activity. The other donor paper, PMID:10899350, remains abstract/selected-passage accessible only. Neither inspected scope establishes removal of single N-terminal amino acids, which current GO:0070009 specifically requires. Human FXIa instead directly cleaves internal factor IX bonds in PMID:22961984. Modify to that independently established target activity without claiming the unread donor experiment is false or that the rat orthology is wrong.
Propagation Review
Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM
Sources checked:
UniProtKB:A0A0G2K4I9 UNRESOLVED
Exact rat F11 donor and its two IDA sources were recovered. Rat functional-activity measurements do not resolve the claimed amino-terminal substrate specificity in the inspected evidence.
ensembl:ENSRNOP00000073061 UNRESOLVED
The literal source protein identifier is preserved; no loss or paralog claim is inferred from incomplete assay access.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: F11 was detected in a human urinary extracellular-vesicle preparation.
Reason: The original PMID:19056867 Methods use pooled urine from eight healthy people, differential ultracentrifugation and LC-MS/MS. Its linked NHLBI table contains the exact F11/NP_000119 record with one peptide. The study’s ambiguity procedure permits peptides shared by splice products of the same gene, so this does not resolve the 625- versus 571-residue product or active FXIa. Retain the source’s urinary-exosome detection as non-core, without inferring a universal exosome location, a vesicle-biogenesis role, or luminal versus surface topology. The urinary anatomical extension remains confined to the captured raw source.

Core Functions

Activated factor XIa catalyzes sequential internal cleavage of factor IX to produce active factor IXa, directly performing zymogen activation in the intrinsic blood-coagulation pathway. The catalytic light chain performs hydrolysis, while the A3 region of the heavy chain supports efficient substrate recognition. This activity occurs in extracellular plasma and can be organized at the external platelet surface. The homodimeric assembly and its substrate-binding regions support this catalytic unit; neither the inactive precursor nor an untested shorter splice product is assumed to have the same activity.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does the 571-residue platelet-associated splice product form a secreted, correctly processed dimer, and how do its platelet association, activation and factor IX-cleaving activity compare with the 625-residue precursor?

Q: Under which physiological conditions, if any, does factor XIa's measured plasminogen-activating capacity contribute appreciably to fibrinolysis relative to its factor IX-dependent coagulation role?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Express sequence-verified 625- and 571-residue F11 products in the same system and measure secretion, chain processing and oligomeric state. Compare matched zymogen and activated preparations for binding to washed human platelets with controlled kininogen or prothrombin, and quantify factor IX cleavage after normalizing to active-site concentration. Include catalytic-site controls and distinguish protein detection from transcript abundance.

Experiment: Compare factor IX activation, plasmin generation and fibrin-clot lysis across physiological concentrations of purified FXIa in defined plasma systems. Include FXI-depleted plasma and add-back, active-site inhibition, plasminogen depletion, and controls for kallikrein and activating-enzyme carryover. Quantify both coagulation and lysis over matched time courses to determine whether the specialized in-vitro capacity contributes under conditions that support clotting.
