Phosphorylation of human plasminogen activators and plasminogen [PDF]
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 ...

Plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors in endometriosis
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 ...

Plasminogen activators in acute management of thrombosis
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 ...

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
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 ...

A Perspective of Coagulation Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis and in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis [PDF]
A key role of both coagulation and vascular thrombosis has been reported since the first descriptions of multiple sclerosis (MS). Subsequently, the observation of a close concordance between perivascular fibrin(ogen) deposition and the occurrence of ...

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

Interaction with human plasminogen system turns on proteolytic activity in Streptococcus agalactiae and enhances its virulence in a mouse model [PDF]
Interactions of several microbial pathogens with the plasminogen system increase their invasive potential. In this study, we show that Streptococcus agalactiae binds human plasminogen which can be subsequently activated to plasmin, thus generating a ...
