Recent studies from our laboratory indicate that purified kininogens are noncompetitive inhibitors of human alpha-thrombin but not PPACK-thrombin, binding to human washed platelets. In order to understand the mechanism by which the kininogens inhibit alpha-thrombin binding, investigations were initiated to determine if alpha-thrombin and PPACK-thrombin bound to the same site on human platelets....
BACKGROUND Thrombolytic therapy induces a procoagulant state characterized by elevated plasma levels of fibrinopeptide A (FPA), but the responsible mechanism is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS Washed plasma clots were incubated in citrated plasma in the presence or absence of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and FPA generation was monitored as an index of unopposed thrombin activity. FPA l...
Thrombin activity is a factor in acute CNS trauma and may contribute to such chronic neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's disease. Thrombin is a multifunctional serine protease that catalyses the final steps in blood coagulation. However, increasing evidence indicates that thrombin also elicits a variety of cellular and inflammatory responses, including responses from neural cells. Most re...
Thrombin can activate factor XI in the presence of dextran sulfate or sulfatides. However, a physiological cofactor for thrombin activation of factor XI has not been identified. We examined this question in a cell-based, tissue factor-initiated model system. In the absence of factor XII, factor XI enhanced thrombin generation in this model. The effect on thrombin generation was reproduced by 2 ...
Previous results indicate extensive similarity of the active site regions of thrombin (EC 3.4.21.5) and Thrombin Quick, a congenital dysthrombin. A binding defect of Thrombin Quick toward fibrinogen is indicated by an increased KI when fibrinogen is present as a competitive inhibitor in the hydrolysis of tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide. In the present study, Thrombin Quick I is shown to have a...
Thrombin is a multifunctional serine protease that is rapidly produced from prothrombin at sites of tissue injury and catalyzes the final steps in blood coagulation. Thrombin also regulates gene expression and process outgrowth in neurons and astrocytes and stimulates proliferation of astrocytes. Since thrombin is produced immediately upon breakdown of the blood-brain barrier we examined its ef...
In the last two decades it has become apparent that thrombin has many extravascular effects that are mediated by a family of protease-activated receptors (PARs). PAR-1, -3 and -4 are activated via cleavage by thrombin. The importance of extravascular thrombin in modulating ischemic, hemorrhagic and traumatic injury in brain has recently become clear. Thus, in vitro, thrombin at low concentratio...
a-Thrombin derivatives obtained either by site-specific modification at lysyl residues (phosphopyridoxylated) or by limited trypsinolysis (yT-thrombin) were compared to correlate structural modifications with the functional reactivity toward fibrin(ogen) and heparin. a-Thrombin phosphopyridoxylated in the absence of heparin (unprotected) showed approximately 2 mol of label incorporated/mol of t...
Thrombin and trypsin activate protease-activated receptors (PARs) that modulate vascular tone. In addition to the PARs, thrombin also binds to thrombomodulin via exosite 1, a domain also involved in the interaction of thrombin with PAR-1 but not PAR-2. The purpose of this study was to determine whether thrombomodulin would alter thrombin-induced vasoconstriction, thought to be mediated predomin...
We studied thrombin binding to proliferating and confluent endothelial cells derived from bovine vascular endothelium. [125]thrombin was incubated with nonconfluent or confluent endothelial cells and both the total amount bound and the amount linked in a 77,000-dalton thrombin-cell complex were determined. Approximately 230,000 molecules of thrombin bound per cell in nonconfluent cultures compa...
