The structure solution of the complex of tissue factor (TF) and activated factor VII (FVIIa) and extensive mutagenesis analysis of the FVIIa protease domain have recently provided a detailed, novel insight into the function of the extrinsic activation complex. This overview relates the functional data to the known molecular interactions defined by crystallography arriving at a hypothesis of how FVIIa is 'switched on' through specific contacts with TF. Combining these findings with the results of mutational analysis of TF, a picture emerges whereby multiple domains of both cofactor and enzyme provide contacts for the assembly of macromolecular substrate.
