Abstract Background and Purpose Site‐specific antibody modification is a useful chemical strategy to elaborate antibody therapeutic function. Conventional lysine‐ or cysteine‐based conjugation methods generate heterogeneous products, while protein engineering approaches are resource‐intensive.

E4 engages uPAR and enolase-1 and activates urokinase to exert antifibrotic effects
Fibroproliferative disorders such as systemic sclerosis (SSc) have no effective therapies and result in significant morbidity and mortality. We recently demonstrated that the C-terminal domain of endostatin, known as E4, prevented and reversed both ...

Hybrid macrocyclic peptides unite genetically encoded peptide libraries with the structural complexity of synthetic small molecules. This Review critically analyzes phage‐compatible cyclization and diversification chemistries, highlights emerging opportunities beyond traditional cysteine‐based approaches, and outlines how future advances may enable the

Functional Stability of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the main inhibitor of plasminogen activators, such as tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), and a major regulator of the fibrinolytic system.

Structure, function and antagonists of urokinase-type plasminogen activator
Urokinase (uPA) is a serine protease which converts plasminogen to plasmin, a broad-spectrum protease active on extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Like many components of the blood coagulation, fibrinolytic and complement cascades, uPA has a modular structure, including three conserved domains: a growth factor-like domain (GFD, residues 1 - 49), a ...

Discovery of a novel conformational equilibrium in urokinase-type plasminogen activator
Although trypsin-like serine proteases have flexible surface-exposed loops and are known to adopt higher and lower activity conformations, structural determinants for the different conformations have remained largely obscure.

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor
A polypeptide presenting an epitope cross-reactive with an epitope of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, and/or having uPA binding activity, is described.
