THE STRUCTURE BASIS OF THE POOR FIBRIN SPECIFICITY OF UROKINASE(Ⅱ)——THE INHIBITION OF UROKINASE A CHAIN 149--157 ON THE FIBRIN STIMULATED ACTIVATION OF PLASMINOGEN BY TISSUE TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR

In view of the similarity of the charge distribution between fibrin A_α148--161 and Achain 149--157 of urokinase,the latter might compete with fibrin A_α148--161 when singlechain pro-urokinase is converted to double chain urokinase.To test this, the stretch of uro-kinase A chain 135--157 was separated from the low molecular weight urokinase, a competi-tive binding between this stretch and fibrin to tPA kringle-2 was shown by radio-bindingassay. The inhibition of the stretch on the fibrin stimulated activation of plasminogen wasdemonstrated in the caseinolytic system. The synthesized novapeptide urokinase A chain 149--157 (R-peptide) showed a significant inhibition on the activation of plasminogen in the pres-ence of fibrin. By contrasting finely with R-peptide, a synthesized novapeptide in which Arg154and Arg156 were replaced by Asp (D-peptide) did not show any inhibition effect on the fi-brin stimulated activation of plasminogen by tPA. These results suggest that the positivelycharged residues in the     

尿激酶对纤维蛋白低亲和性的结构基础——Ⅱ.尿激酶A链149—157片段对纤维蛋白促进tPA激活纤溶酶原的抑制作用

本文从低分子量尿激酶(LUK)中分离并纯化了UK 135—157片段,用放射结合分析证明UK 135—157片段和纤维蛋白对tPA的结合呈竞争关系。用酪蛋白降解系统证明此片段可抑制纤维蛋白促进tPA对纤溶酶原的激活。化学合成了UK149—157九肽(R-肽)以及由Asp取代Arg 154和Arg 156的相应九肽(D-肽),发现R-肽对纤维蛋白促进tPA激活纤溶酶原有显著的抑制作用,而D-肽却全无作用。本文结果证明:UK 149—157片段中的正电荷残基在抑制环饼结构域的纤维蛋白结合活性中起重要作用。
