The X-ray Crystal Structure of Full-Length Human Plasminogen

Cell Reports, 2012
Plasminogen is the proenzyme precursor of the primary fibrinolytic protease plasmin. Circulating plasminogen, which comprises a Pan-apple (PAp) domain, five kringle domains (KR1-5), and a serine protease (SP) domain, adopts a closed, activation-resistant

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]

, 2009
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

Phosphorylation of human plasminogen activators and plasminogen [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1995
Plasminogen (PG), urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (u‐PA) and tissue‐type PA (t‐PA) are the main molecules involved in fibrinolysis and in many other physiological and pathological processes. In the present study we report that human t‐PA, purified from human melanoma cells, and PG, purified from human plasma, both contain P‐Tyr residues, as ...

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]

, 1989
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...

Plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors in endometriosis

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2005
Endometriosis is one of the most frequent benign gynecological diseases that affect women. Little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of endometriosis, despite the numerous studies performed in this field. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, the endometrial tissue, after attachment to the peritoneum, has the ability to grow and invade ...

Spectrophotometric analysis of thrombolytic activity: SATA assay [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Measurement of thrombolytic activity i.e. clot lysis is crucial for research and development of novel thrombolytics. It is also a key factor in assessment of the effectiveness of conventionally used thrombolytic agents in the clinic, which ...

Plasminogen activators in acute management of thrombosis

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2013
The paper focuses on the problem of intravascular thrombosis and the methods of its treatment. The data on haemostasis pathophysiology, which underlie the occurrence of acute ischemic events in humans, are presented, together with the data on the action ...

Tissue plasminogen activator is a ligand of cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor and consists of glycoforms that contain mannose 6-phosphate

Scientific Reports, 2021
Plasmin is the key enzyme in fibrinolysis. Upon interaction with plasminogen activators, the zymogen plasminogen is converted to active plasmin. Some studies indicate plasminogen activation is regulated by cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (

Different N-Glycosylation Sites Reduce the Activity of Recombinant DSPAα2

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022
Bat plasminogen activators α2 (DSPAα2) has extremely high medicinal value as a powerful natural thrombolytic protein. However, wild-type DSPAα2 has two N-glycosylation sites (N185 and N398) and its non-human classes of high-mannose-type N-glycans may ...

HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]

, 2015
The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in
