A Ser 460 to Pro mutation of protein S (PS), involving a T to C transition in exon XIII of the protein S alpha (PROS1) gene and known as the Heerlen polymorphism, was found in 16 of 85 symptomatic patients with PS deficiency (18.8%) and only 1 of 113 healthy subjects (0.8%). Another frequent polymorphism was described in exon XV of the PROS1 gene, in the codon for Pro 626 (CCA/CCG). We found that Heerlen polymorphism was associated with allele CCA and not with allele CCG, suggesting a probable transmission by a common ancestor. Most subjects bearing the Ser 460 to Pro mutation were deficient in free PS, but had normal total PS levels. Normal levels of the C4b-binding protein (C4b-BP) isoform containing a beta chain (C4b-BP beta +) ruled out increased C4b-BP beta + as a cause of the free-PS deficiency. The binding curves of the mutated (Heerlen) PS on C4b-BP immobilized on microplates were biphasic, suggesting that one molecule of C4b-BP can bind two molecules of Heerlen PS. Because normal PS binds to C4b-BP with 1:1 stoichiometry, this may explain the free-PS deficiency observed in patients carrying the Ser 460 to Pro mutation.
