Coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) encoded by the F8 gene is synthesized as a 19 amino acid signal peptide followed by 2332 amino acids and includes the A1-A2-B-A3-C1-C2 structural domains (Toole JJ et al. 1984; Wood WI et al. 1984). Upon secretion from the cell, FVIII is cleaved at two sites in the B-domain to form a heterodimer consisting of the heavy chain containing the A1-A2-B domains in a metal ion-dependent complex with the light chain consisting of the A3-C1-C2 domains (Kaufman RJ et al. 1997; Kaufman RJ 1998). The heterodimer circulates in a tight complex with the multimeric glycoprotein von Willebrand Factor (vWF), which is essential for maintaining stable levels of FVIII in the circulation (reviewed by Pipe SW et al. 2016). The structurally homologous C1 and C2 domains of FVIII are believed to have specific functions in interactions with vWF (Pratt KP et al. 1999; Jacquemin M et al. 2000a,b; Ebberink EH et al. 2017). The acidic subdomain a3 of the light chain also controls FVIII binding to vWF (Saenko EL & Scandella D 1997; Dagil L et al. 2019). Sulfation at Tyr1699 in the a3 subdomain was required for high affinity interaction with vWF (Leyte A et al. 1991).

Genetic mutations in the F8 gene can compromise FVIII binding to vWF thus decreasing FVIII values in the plasma causing hemophilia A (HEMA), an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder (Higuchi M et al. 1990; Liu ML et L. 2000; Jacquemin M et al. 2000b; Spiegel PC et al. 2004; d'Oiron R et al. 2004; van den Biggelaar M et al. 2011; Yada K et al. 2015). This Reactome event describes reduced FVIII interaction with vWF caused by the defective Tyr1699 sulfation site (Y1699F) in a3 of FVIII or by mutations in the C domains of FVIII (S2138Y, P2319L, R2169H, R2323H etc.) found in HEMA patients.
