Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000 The interaction of plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase with a clinical strain of Helicobacter pylori was studied. Plasminogen bound to the surface of H. pylori cells in a concentration-dependent manner and could be activated to

The hyaluronan-binding serine protease from human plasma cleaves HMW and LMW kininogen and releases bradykinin [PDF]
, 2002 The influence of the hyaluronanbinding protease (PHBSP), a plasma enzyme with FVII- and pro-urokinase-activating potency, on components of the contact phase (kallikrein/kinin) system was investigated.

Coagulation and anticoagulation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
, 2015 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable, progressive interstitial lung disease with a prognosis that is worse than that of many cancers. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between IPF and thrombotic vascular events.

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 We cloned the streptokinase (STK) gene of Streptococcus equisimilis in an expression vector of Escherichia coli to overexpress the profibrinolytic protein under the control of a tac promoter. Almost all the recombinant STK was exported to the periplasmic

Characterization of plasmin, plasminogen and plasminogen activator in goat milk
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2011 Plasmin (PL), a serine-proteinase, appears to be the predominant native proteinase in milk and it is mainly associated to casein micelles which represent its substrate (Bastian and Brown, 1996). Plasmin occurs in milk together with its inactive zymogene,

Mutant and chimeric recobinant plasminogen activatorsproduction in eukaryotic cellsand preliminary characterization [PDF]
, 1987 Mutant urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) genes and hybrid genes between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and u-PA have been designed to direct the synthesis of new plasminogen activators and to investigate the structure-function ...

Measuring the metastatic potential of cancer cells [PDF]
, 1993 Cancer cells must secrete proteolytic enzymes to invade adjacent tissues and migrate to a new metastatic site. Urokinase (uPA) is a key enzyme related to metastasis in cancers of the lung, colon, gastric, uterine, breast, brain, and malignant melanoma. A

HDAC-mediated control of ERK- and PI3K-dependent TGF-β-induced extracellular matrix-regulating genes [PDF]
, 2010 Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate the acetylation of histones in the control of gene expression. Many non-histone proteins are also targeted for acetylation, including TGF-ß signalling pathway components such as Smad2, Smad3 and Smad7. Our studies in

Pathogen activators of plasminogen [PDF]
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2015 Group A streptococci (GAS) express soluble and surface-bound virulence factors. Secreted streptokinase (SK) allelic variants exhibit varying abilities to activate host plasminogen (Pg), and GAS pathogenicity is associated with Pg activation and localization of the resulting plasmin (Pm) on the bacterial surface to promote dissemination.
