Although warfarin is the most widely used anticoagulant worldwide, the mechanism
by which warfarin inhibits its target, human vitamin K epoxide reductase (hVKOR),
remains unclear. Here we show that warfarin blocks a dynamic electron-transfer
process in hVKOR. A major fraction of cellular hVKOR is in an intermediate redox
state containing a Cys51-Cys132 disulfide, a characteristic accommodated by a
four-transmembrane-helix structure of hVKOR. Warfarin selectively inhibits this
major cellular form of hVKOR, whereas disruption of the Cys51-Cys132 disulfide
impairs warfarin binding and causes warfarin resistance. Relying on binding
interactions identified by cysteine alkylation footprinting and mass spectrometry
coupled with mutagenesis analysis, we conducted structure simulations, which
revealed a closed warfarin-binding pocket stabilized by the Cys51-Cys132 linkage.
Understanding the selective warfarin inhibition of a specific redox state of
hVKOR should enable the rational design of drugs that exploit the redox chemistry
and associated conformational changes in hVKOR.
