 Kringle(K)结构域广泛存在于与凝血和纤溶相关的各种因子中 .虽然 K结构域在一级结构上是一种比较保守的结构域 (与其他结构域相比 ) ,但是 K结构域的功能在各种因子中的作用有很大的区别 .为探讨单链尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活剂 (scu- PA)的 K结构域功能 ,构建了在 scu- PA的 K结构域的 1 1 8位 Gly与 1 1 9位 Leu之间插入 PRGDWR序列的突变体 (称为 insert mutant B,In B) ,并测定了野生型 scu- PA与 In B的纤溶相关反应的动力学常数 . scu- PA与 In B水解 S- 2 4 4 4反应的 Km 值无明显变化 (分别为 60 .4与 56.8μmol·L-1) ,而 In B的 kcat值 (0 .33s-1)比 scu- PA的 kcat值 (7.31 s-1)降低很多 ;In B激活纤溶酶原反应的 Km 值 (0 .397μmol· L-1)比 scu- PA Km 值(0 .648μmol·L-1)降低 40 % ,但 kcat值 (0 .0 1 65s-1)比 scu- PA的 kcat值 (0 .0 62 6s-1)降低 74% .以上结果说明 :K结构域主要与反应活性相关 ,而与酶及底物的亲和性无关 .     

纤维蛋白对尿激酶原激活纤溶酶原反应动力学的影响

反应体系中存在的纤维蛋白（fibrin）对尿激酶（UK）、scu-PA以及组织型纤溶酶原激活剂（t-PA）激活纤溶酶原（plasminogen）的反应有不同的作用：UK、t-PA激活plasminogen的反应可被反应体系中存在的fibrin所加强;fibrin对scu-PA激活plasminogen反应的动力学常数无明显影响;但对小分子质量scu-PA与单链抗体的嵌合分子激活plasminogen的反应起明显的抑制作用.为确定反应体系中存在的fibrin对scu-PA的K区插入突变体-InB激活plasminogen反应的影响,测定了在反应体系中存在fibrin的情况下的InB激活plasminogen反应的K_m^fibrin以及k_cat^fibrin.K_m^fibrin＝4.2 μmol·L^-1,远远大于无fibrin时的K_m＝0.379 μmol·L^-1,说明有fibrin存在时突变体InB与天然底物plasminogen的亲和性降低了.k_cat^fibrin＝0.107 s^-1,也远远大于无fibrin时k_cat＝0.0165 s^-1,说明有fibrin存在时突变体InB对plasminogen的反应活性增强了.原因可能是：与fibrin结合的plasminogen的构象发生了有利于被纤溶酶原激活剂水解的变化.

猕猴精浆纤溶酶原激活因子的来源及在精子获能中的作用

我们的前期工作表明,不育症人精液中纤溶酶原激活因子（plasminogen activator;PA）活性明显升高;给成年办和猕猴注射长效睾酮诱发无精过程中,精液PA含量也伴随上升,为进一步查明PA的来源和对精子的作用,原位杂交检测组织型PA（tPA）,尿激酶型PA（uPA）及PA抑制因子－1（PAI-1)泊mRNAs在成年健康猕附睾、前列腺和精囊中的表达。体外培养猕猴精子,培液中加入uPA、tPA及其底物纤溶酶原（plasminogen）,测试PA对精子活力、顶体反应及激活卵子的影响。结果表明,猕猴附睾、前列腺和精囊均表达tPA、uPA和PAI-1 mRNAs。加入uPA能维持精子的活力,使精子产生超激活运动,诱导顶体反应的发生,并使精子获得激活卵子的能力,这说明猕猴精浆PA除来源于睾丸外,可能主要来源于附睾及附性腺;在体外,uPA,而不是tPA,可能诱导精子获能。

Rescue of the orphan enzyme isoguanine deaminase

Cytosine deaminase (CDA) from Escherichia coli was shown to catalyze the deamination of isoguanine (2-oxoadenine) to xanthine. Isoguanine is an oxidation product of adenine in DNA that is mutagenic to the cell. The isoguanine deaminase activity in E. coli was partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration, and anion exchange chromatography. The active protein was identified by peptide mass fingerprint analysis as cytosine deaminase. The kinetic constants for the deamination of isoguanine at pH 7.7 are as follows: k(cat) = 49 s(-1), K(m) = 72 μM, and k(cat)/K(m) = 6.7 × 10(5) M(-1) s(-1). The kinetic constants for the deamination of cytosine are as follows: k(cat) = 45 s(-1), K(m) = 302 μM, and k(cat)/K(m) = 1.5 × 10(5) M(-1) s(-1). Under these reaction conditions, isoguanine is the better substrate for cytosine deaminase. The three-dimensional structure of CDA was determined with isoguanine in the active site.

Mechanism of inhibitory effect of angiostatin on plasminogen activation by its physiologic activators

The influence of angiostatin K1-4.5--a fragment of the heavy chain of plasmin and a powerful inhibitor of angiogenesis--on kinetic parameters (k(Pg) and K(Pg)) of human Glu-plasminogen activation under the action of urokinase (uPA) not having affinity for fibrin and fibrin-specific tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) was investigated. Angiostatin does not affect the k(Pg) value, but increases the value K(Pg) urokinase plasminogen activation. A decrease in the k(Pg) value and an increase in the K(Pg) value were found for fibrin-stimulated plasminogen activation by tPA with increasing concentrations of angiostatin. The obtained results show that angiostatin is competitive inhibitor of the uPA activator activity, while it inhibits the activator activity of tPA by mixed type. Such an influence ofangiostatin on the kinetic constants ofthe urokinase plasminogen activation suggests that angiostatin dose dependent manner replaces plasminogen in the binary enzyme-substrate complex uPA-Pg. In case of fibrin-stimulated plasminogen activation by tPA, both zymogen and tPA are bound to fibrin with formation of the effective triple tPA-Pg-fibrin complex. Angiostatin replaces plasminogen both from the fibrin surface and from the enzyme-substrate tPA-Pg complex that leads to a decrease in k(Pg) and an increase in K(Pg) of plasminogen activation. Inhibition constants by angioststin (Ki) of plasminogen-activator activities of uPA and tPA determined by Dixon method were found to be 0.59 +/- 0.04 and 0.12 +/- 0.05 microM, respectively.     

Resolution of conformational activation in the kinetic mechanism of plasminogen activation by streptokinase

Streptokinase (SK) activates plasminogen (Pg) by specific binding and nonproteolytic expression of the Pg catalytic site, initiating Pg proteolysis to form the fibrinolytic proteinase, plasmin (Pm). The SK-induced conformational activation mechanism was investigated in quantitative kinetic and equilibrium binding studies. Progress curves of Pg activation by SK monitored by chromogenic substrate hydrolysis were parabolic, with initial rates (v(1)) that indicated no transient species and subsequent rate increases (v(2)). The v(1) dependence on SK concentration for [Glu]Pg and [Lys]Pg was hyperbolic with dissociation constants corresponding to those determined in fluorescence-based binding studies for the native Pg species, identifying v(1) as rapid SK binding and conformational activation. Comparison of [Glu]Pg and [Lys]Pg activation showed an approximately 12-fold higher affinity of SK for [Lys]Pg that was lysine-binding site dependent and no such dependence for [Glu]Pg. Stopped-flow kinetics of SK binding to fluorescently labeled Pg demonstrated at least two fast steps in the conformational activation pathway. Characterization of the specificity of the conformationally activated SK.[Lys]Pg* complex for tripeptide-p-nitroanilide substrates demonstrated 5-18- and 10-130-fold reduced specificity (k(cat)/K(m)) compared with SK.Pm and Pm, respectively, with differences in K(m) and k(cat) dependent on the P1 residue. The results support a kinetic mechanism in which SK binding and reversible conformational activation occur in a rapid equilibrium, multistep process.     

Kinetics of activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa)-catalyzed cleavage of C-terminal lysine residues of fibrin degradation products and removal of plasminogen-binding sites

Partial digestion of fibrin by plasmin exposes C-terminal lysine residues, which comprise new binding sites for both plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). This binding increases the catalytic efficiency of plasminogen activation by 3000-fold compared with tPA alone. The activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa) attenuates fibrinolysis by removing these residues, which causes a 97% reduction in tPA catalytic efficiency. The aim of this study was to determine the kinetics of TAFIa-catalyzed lysine cleavage from fibrin degradation products and the kinetics of loss of plasminogen-binding sites. We show that the k(cat) and K(m) of Glu(1)-plasminogen (Glu-Pg)-binding site removal are 2.34 s(-1) and 142.6 nm, respectively, implying a catalytic efficiency of 16.21 μm(-1) s(-1). The corresponding values of Lys(77)/Lys(78)-plasminogen (Lys-Pg)-binding site removal are 0.89 s(-1) and 96 nm implying a catalytic efficiency of 9.23 μm(-1) s(-1). These catalytic efficiencies of plasminogen-binding site removal by TAFIa are the highest of any TAFIa-catalyzed reaction with a biological substrate reported to date and suggest that plasmin-modified fibrin is a primary physiological substrate for TAFIa. We also show that the catalytic efficiency of cleavage of all C-terminal lysine residues, whether they are involved in plasminogen binding or not, is 1.10 μm(-1) s(-1). Interestingly, this value increases to 3.85 μm(-1) s(-1) in the presence of Glu-Pg. These changes are due to a decrease in K(m). This suggests that an interaction between TAFIa and plasminogen comprises a component of the reaction mechanism, the plausibility of which was established by showing that TAFIa binds both Glu-Pg and Lys-Pg.     

Studies of the enzymic mechanism of Candida tenuis xylose reductase (AKR 2B5): X-ray structure and catalytic reaction profile for the H113A mutant

Xylose reductase from the yeast Candida tenuis (CtXR) is a family 2 member of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily of proteins and enzymes. Active site His-113 is conserved among AKRs, but a unified mechanism of how it affects catalytic activity is outstanding. We have replaced His-113 by alanine using site-directed mutagenesis, determined a 2.2 A structure of H113A mutant bound to NADP(+), and compared catalytic reaction profiles of NADH-dependent reduction of different aldehydes catalyzed by the wild type and the mutant. Deuterium kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) on k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m xylose) show that, relative to the wild type, the hydride transfer rate constant (k(7) approximately 0.16 s(-1)) has decreased about 1000-fold in H113A whereas xylose binding was not strongly affected. No solvent isotope effect was seen on k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m xylose) for H113A, suggesting that proton transfer has not become rate-limiting as a result of the mutation. The pH profiles of log(k(cat)/K(m xylose)) for the wild type and H113A decreased above apparent pK(a) values of 8.85 and 7.63, respectively. The DeltapK(a) of -1.2 pH units likely reflects a proximally disruptive character of the mutation, affecting the position of Asp-50. A steady-state kinetic analysis for H113A-catalyzed reduction of a homologous series of meta-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives was carried out, and quantitative structure-reactivity correlations were used to factor the observed kinetic substituent effect on k(cat) and k(cat)/K(m aldehyde) into an electronic effect and bonding effects (which are lacking in the wild type). Using the Hammett sigma scale, electronic parameter coefficients (rho) of +0.64 (k(cat)) and +0.78 (k(cat)/K(m aldehyde)) were calculated and clearly differ from rho(k(cat)/K(aldehyde)) and rho(k(cat)) values of +1.67 and approximately 0.0, respectively, for the wild-type enzyme. Hydride transfer rate constants of H113A, calculated from kinetic parameters and KIE data, display a substituent dependence not seen in the corresponding wild-type enzyme rate constants. An enzymic mechanism is proposed in which His-113, through a hydrogen bond from Nepsilon2 to aldehyde O1, assists in catalysis by optimizing the C=O bond charge separation and orbital alignment in the ternary complex.
