Evidence that the conformation of unliganded human plasminogen is maintained via an intramolecular interaction between the lysine-binding site of kringle 5 and the N-terminal peptide.
Human Glu-plasminogen adopts at least three conformations that provide a means for regulating the specificity of its activation in vivo. It has been proposed previously that the closed (alpha) conformation of human Glu-plasminogen is maintained through physical interaction of the kringle 5 domain and a lysine residue within the N-terminal peptide (NTP). To examine this hypothesis, site-directed...
متن کاملC-terminal lysine residues of fibrinogen fragments essential for binding to plasminogen.
Experiments involving affinity chromatography on immobilized plasminogen columns and the concomitant use of plasmin and carboxypeptidase B indicate that the COOH-terminal lysine residues formed by plasmin-catalyzed cleavage of fibrinogen are essential for the high-affinity binding of the resulting cleavage products to plasminogen.
متن کاملThe lysine binding sites of human plasminogen. Evidence for a critical tryptophan in the binding site of kringle 4.
Chemical modification of human degraded form of plasminogen with NH2-terminal lysine (Lys-plasminogen) and the elastase fragments kringle 1 + 2 + 3 and kringle 4 with the tryptophan reagent [14C]dimethyl(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)sulfonium bromide results in the incorporation of label and the parallel loss of lysine binding ability. In the case of kringle 4, only one-half of the lysine binding si...
متن کاملEscherichia coli signal peptide peptidase A is a serine-lysine protease with a lysine recruited to the nonconserved amino-terminal domain in the S49 protease family.
Escherichia coli signal peptide peptidase A (SppA) is a serine protease which cleaves signal peptides after they have been proteolytically removed from exported proteins by signal peptidase processing. We present here results of site-directed mutagenesis studies of all the conserved serines of SppA in the carboxyl-terminal domain showing that only Ser 409 is essential for enzymatic activity. Al...
متن کاملThe plasminogen binding site of the C-type lectin tetranectin is located in the carbohydrate recognition domain, and binding is sensitive to both calcium and lysine.
Tetranectin, a homotrimeric protein belonging to the family of C-type lectins and structurally highly related to corresponding regions of the mannose-binding proteins, is known specifically to bind the plasminogen kringle 4 protein domain, an interaction sensitive to lysine. Surface plasmon resonance and isothermal calorimetry binding analyses using single-residue and deletion mutant tetranecti...
