FXIa variants lacking the anion-binding sites did not alter the effect of platelets on FXIa activity or interaction. Western blot analysis of bound FXIa [by FXIa-platelet membrane immunoprecipitation] showed that the interaction with platelets is zinc dependent and, unlike FXI binding to platelets, not dependent on glycoprotein Ib. FXIa binding to the platelet membrane increases its capacity to activate FIX in plasma likely by protecting it from inhibition by inhibitors secreted by activated platelets. Our findings suggest that
