Regulation of urokinase receptor expression by phosphoglycerate kinase is independent of its catalytic activity.
Posttranscriptional regulation of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) mRNA involves the interaction of a uPAR mRNA coding region sequence with phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), a 50-kDa uPAR mRNA binding protein. PGK catalyzes a reversible transfer of a phosphoryl group from 1,3-biphosphoglycerate to ADP in the glycolytic pathway. Our previous studies showed that overexpression of...
متن کاملThiol-independent DNA alkylation by leinamycin.
Covalent modification of cellular DNA can have profound biological consequences and, therefore, the mechanisms by which small organic molecules react with DNA are of interest in both medicinal chemistry and toxicology.1-6 The reactions underlying the biological activity of DNA-damaging agents are diverse and chemically interesting.1 Some agents contain functional groups that are inherently reac...
متن کاملGeneration of angiostatin by reduction and proteolysis of plasmin. Catalysis by a plasmin reductase secreted by cultured cells.
Extracellular manipulation of protein disulfide bonds has been implied in diverse biological processes, including penetration of viruses and endotoxin into cells and activation of certain cytokine receptors. We now demonstrate reduction of one or more disulfide bonds in the serine proteinase, plasmin, by a reductase secreted by Chinese hamster ovary or HT1080 cells. Reduction of plasmin disulfi...
متن کاملCreatine kinase reactivation by thiol compounds.
It is now commonly accepted that thiol activated creatine kinase (CK) assay systems measure CK activity more accurately and more reproducibly than non-activated systems. However, some differences have arisen in the literature in regards to the nature and course of CK activation. Some thiol compounds have been reported to yield higher enzyme activities than others. Dalal et al. (1) reported that...
متن کاملCoagulation factor XIIIa is inactivated by plasmin.
Coagulation factor XIIIa (FXIIIa) is a transglutaminase that covalently cross-links fibrin and other proteins to fibrin to stabilize blood clots and reduce blood loss. A clear mechanism to describe the physiological inactivation of FXIIIa has been elusive. Here, we show that plasmin can cleave FXIIIa in purified systems and in blood. Whereas zymogen FXIII was not readily cleaved by plasmin, FXI...
