The binding of small molecules to the kringle 5 domain fragment of human plasminogen has been investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 300 MHz. The compounds tested as potential ligands include L-arginine, L-lysine, and a number of aliphatic and aromatic analogs of similar size but different ionic charge configurations. Ligand/kringle 5 association constant (Ka) values were obtained from ligand titration experiments at 22 degrees C, pH 7.2. Neither L-arginine nor N alpha-acetyl-L-arginine and N alpha-acetyl-L-arginine methyl ester bind measurably to kringle 5 (Ka approximately less than 0.05 mM-1). In contrast, binding of hexylamine or epsilon-aminocaproic acid (epsilon ACA) is favored (Ka approximately 2.9 and 10.5 mM-1, respectively). Benzamidine and p-benzylaminesulfonic acid associate with kringle 5 with similar affinities (Ka approximately 3.4 and 2.2 mM-1, respectively) while benzylamine binds about twice as tightly (Ka approximately 6.3 mM-1). The higher affinities toward both benzylamine and epsilon ACA indicate that a free carboxylate group is not, by itself, a main determinant of ligand-binding to kringle 5. The experiments also reveal a definite affinity for L-arginine methyl ester, L-lysine, and N alpha-acetyl-L-lysine methyl ester. It is suggested that, although weak (0.1 approximately less than Ka approximately less than 0.6 mM-1), these interactions could be of physiological relevance in the context of plasminogen binding to the fibrin clot. Ligand-induced shifts of kringle 5 proton resonances indicate that the Trp25, His33, Tyr50, Trp62, and Tyr72 (kringle numbering convention) side chains form or neighbor the kringle 5-binding site. Benzamidine-kringle 5 magnetization transfer (Overhauser) experiments verify a close proximity of the bound ligand to these aromatic groups. A model of the binding site is proposed in which the above residues interact closely with each other and define a lipophilic surface which is accessible to the free ligand. 相似文献

1H-NMR spectroscopic manifestations of ligand binding to the kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Structural aspects of the binding of the linear ligands N alpha-acetyl-L-lysine (AcLys) and epsilon-aminocaproic acid (epsilon ACA) and of the cyclic analogs trans-(aminomethyl)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (AMCHA) and p-benzylaminesulfonic acid (BASA) to the intact plasminogen kringle 4 domain have been investigated by 1H-NMR spectroscopy at 300 and 600 MHz. Ligand binding results in consistent shifts of the His-II (His31), Trp-I (Trp25?), Trp-II (Trp62?), Trp-III (Trp72), Tyr-II (Tyr50), and Phe64 ring signals. BASA tends to induce larger shifts than elicited by the aliphatic ligands, most noticeably on Trp-II and on Trp72, suggesting that the ligand aromatic ring interacts with the two indole groups. Trp-II and, to lesser extent, Trp-I interact with an acidic side chain group, in a manner that is blocked by BASA. BASA binding also perturbs Tyr-II (Tyr50), Tyr-III (Tyr41), and Tyr-IV (Tyr74) over a wide pH range and lowers the pKa* of His31 from approximately 4.8 to approximately 4.6. His-III (His33) responds to BASA and AMCHA but is relatively insensitive to the linear ligands. His33 carries a sterically shielded side chain which, in conjunction with Leu46, Trp-I, Tyr50, and Tyr74, participates in structuring the kringle hydrophobic core, contiguous to the binding site. Pronounced shifts are observed for aliphatic resonances stemming from the kringle-bound molecules of AMCHA, AcLys, and epsilon ACA. It is proposed that the lysine-binding site is mostly supported by the loop that extends from Cys51 through Cys71 and that aromatic residues, which include Trp-II, Trp72, and Phe64, play a major role in interacting with the nonpolar segment of the ligand molecule. The binding site also encompasses Tyr50, Tyr74, His31, and His33 although it is not clear the extent to which these residues interact directly with the ligand. 相似文献

A detailed 1H NMR analysis of ligand binding to the human plasminogen kringle 4 domain has been carried out at 300 MHz. The ligands that were investigated are N alpha-acetyl-L-lysine, L-lysine methyl ester, N alpha-acetyl-L-lysine methyl ester, L-lysine hydroxamic acid, trans-(aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (AMCHA), and 4-(aminomethyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1-carboxylic acid (AMBOC). Specific ligand-binding effects were detected via two-dimensional COSY experiments. The side chains that are the most perturbed by ligand presence are those from Trp62, Phe64, and Trp72. Ligand-kringle saturation transfer (Overhauser) experiments show that the aromatic rings from these three residues, especially Trp72, are in direct contact with the ligand. These results add support to a previously reported model of the kringle 4 lysine-binding site [Ramesh, V., Petros, A. M., Llinás, M., Tulinsky, A., & Park, C. H. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 198, 481-498] by which these aromatic groups are assigned a key role in establishing hydrophobic interactions with the ligand molecule. Equilibrium association constants (Ka) and kinetic rate constants (kon, koff) were determined for the binding of the various linear and cyclic ligands to kringle 4. We find that those ligands whose carboxylate function is blocked bind significantly weaker (Ka approximately less than 2 mM-1) than the corresponding analogues where the anionic center is present (Ka approximately greater than 20 mM-1), which underscores the relevance of the polar group in stabilizing the interaction with the kringle 4 binding site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Proton magnetic resonance study of lysine-binding to the kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen. The structure of the binding site 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The binding of L-Lys, D-Lys and epsilon-aminocaproic acid (epsilon ACA) to the kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen has been investigated via one and two-dimensional 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 300 and 600 MHz. Ligand-kringle association constants (Ka) were determined assuming single site binding. At 295 K, pH 7.2, D-Lys binds to kringle 4 much more weakly (Ka = 1.2 mM-1) than does L-Lys (Ka = 24.4 mM-1). L-Lys binding to kringle 4 causes the appearance of ring current-shifted high-field resonances within the -1 approximately less than delta approximately less than 0 parts per million range. The ligand origin of these signals has been confirmed by examining the spectra of kringle 4 titrated with deuterated L-Lys. A systematic analysis of ligand-induced shifts on the aromatic resonances of kringle 4 has been carried out on the basis of 300 MHz two-dimensional chemical shift correlated (COSY) and double quantum correlated spectroscopies. Significant differences in the effect of L-Lys and D-Lys binding to kringle 4 have been observed in the aromatic COSY spectrum. In particular, the His31 H4 and Trp72 H2 singlets and the Phe64 multiplets appear to be the most sensitive to the particular enantiomers, indicating that these residues are in proximity to the ligand C alpha center. In contrast, the rest of the indole spectrum of Trp72 and the aromatic resonances of Trp62 and Tyr74, which are affected by ligand presence, are insensitive to the optical nature of the ligand isomer. These results, together with two-dimensional proton Overhauser studies and ligand-kringle saturation transfer experiments reported previously, enabled us to generate a model of the kringle 4 ligand-binding site from the crystallographic co-ordinates of the prothrombin kringle 1. The latter, although lacking recognizable lysine-binding capability, is otherwise structurally homologous to the plasminogen kringles. 相似文献

Kringle 4, a approximately 10,000-Da domain in the heavy chain of human plasminogen, has been isolated intact and studied by H NMR spectroscopy at 600 MHz. The spectroscopic data indicates that kringle 4 possesses a globular and flexible structure which exhibits relatively fast amide-hydrogen exchange. About 17 NH groups show retarded exchange, with half-lives of approximately 7 h in 2H2O at pH* 6.45, 25 degrees C, which indicates that regions of the kringle are buried and shielded from direct interaction with the solvent. Analysis of the methyl region spectrum accounts for all singlets and doublets in terms of the amino acid composition; resonances from the C- and N-termini residues could be identified from the magnitude of their J couplings and their response to pH titration. It is shown that elastase digestion of plasminogen generates two species of kringle 4, one that terminates with Ala85 and another that extends to Val87. The heterogeneity can be resolved by chromatography on CM-Sephadex. The interaction of kringle 4 with BASA (p-benzylaminesulfonic acid), an antifibrinolytic drug presumed to bind to the plasminogen lysine-binding sites, has been investigated through the effects of added ligand on the kringle spectrum. The kringle lysine-binding site would appear to be integrated by a cluster of interacting His and aromatic residues since many of these resonances follow a definite saturation curve pattern upon BASA titration. In contrast, only minor changes are detected in the aliphatic methyl spectra. The association constant for the BASA-kringle 4 interaction is estimated to be Ka approximately 74 mM-1, which should be compared with Ka approximately 145 mM-1 previously measured for kringle 1 under identical conditions. It is proposed that residues in the proximity of the Cys80-Cys1 disulfide bridge are proximal to, or form part of, the lysine-binding site. 相似文献

1H NMR structural characterization of a recombinant kringle 2 domain from human tissue-type plasminogen activator 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The kringle 2 domain of human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) has been characterized via 1H NMR spectroscopy at 300 and 620 MHz. The experiments were performed on the isolated domain obtained by expression of the 174-263 portion of t-PA in Escherichia coli [Cleary et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 1884-1891]. The spectrum of t-PA kringle 2 is characteristic of a globular structure and shows overall similarity to that of the plasminogen (PGN) kringle 4. Spectral comparison with human and bovine PGN kringle 4 identifies side-chain resonances from Leu46, which afford a fingerprint of kringle folding, and from most of the aromatic ring spin systems. Assignment of signals arising from the His13, His48a, and His64 side chains, which are unique to t-PA kringle 2, was assisted by the availability of a His64----Tyr mutant. Ligand-binding studies confirm that t-PA kringle 2 binds L-lysine with an association constant Ka approximately 11.9 mM-1. The data indicate that homologous or conserved residues relative to those that compose the lysine-binding sites of PGN kringles 1 and 4 are involved in the binding of L-lysine to t-PA kringle 2. These include Tyr36 and, within the kringle inner loop, Trp62, His64, Trp72, and Tyr74. Acid/base titration of aromatic singlets in the presence of L-lysine yields pKa* approximately 6.25 and approximately 4.41 for His13 and His64, respectively, and shows that the His48a imidazole group does not protonate down to pH* approximately 4.3. Thus, the His48a and His64 side chains are in solvent-shielded locations. As observed for the PGN kringles, the Trp62 indole group titrates with pKa* approximately 4.60, which indicates proximity of the side chain to a titratable carboxyl group, most likely that of Asp57 at the binding site. Several labile NH protons of t-PA kringle 2 exhibit retarded H-exchange kinetics, requiring more than a week in 2H2O for full deuteration in the presence of L-lysine at 37 degrees C. This reveals that kringle 2 is endowed with a compact, dynamically stable conformation. Proton Overhauser experiments in 1H2O, centered on well-resolved NH resonances between 9.8 and 12 ppm, identify signals arising from the His48a imidazole NH3 proton and the three Trp indole NH1 protons. A strong dipolar interaction was observed among the Trp25 indole NH1, the Tyr50 amide NH, and the His48a imidazole CH2 protons, which affords evidence for an aromatic cluster in t-PA kringle 2 similar to that found at the hydrophobic kernel of PGN kringles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Solution structure and dynamics of the plasminogen kringle 2-AMCHA complex: 3(1)-helix in homologous domains 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The kringle 2 (K2) module of human plasminogen (Pgn) binds L-lysine and analogous zwitterionic compounds, such as the antifibronolytic agent trans-(aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (AMCHA). Far-UV CD and NMR spectra reveal little conformational change in K2 upon ligand binding. However, retarded (1)H-(2)H isotope exchange kinetics induced by AMCHA indicate stabilization of the K2 conformation by the ligand. Assessment of secondary structure content from CD spectra yields approximately 26% beta-STRAND, approximately 13% beta-TURN, approximately 15% 3(1)-HELIX, and approximately 6% 3(10)-HELIX. The NMR solution conformation of the K2 domain complexed to AMCHA has been determined [heavy atom rmsd = 0.49 +/- 0.09A (BACKBONE) AND 1.02+/- 0.08 (ALL)]. The K2 molecule has overall dimensions of approximately 34.5A times approximately 33.4A times approximately 22.7A . Analogous with the polypeptide outline of homologous domains, K2 contains three short antiparallel beta-sheets (paired strands 15-16/20-21, 24-25/48-49, and 62-64/72-74) and four defined beta-turns (residues 6-9, 16-19, 53-56, AND 67-70). Consistent with the CD analysis, albeit novel in the context of kringle folding, the NMR structure reveals an unpaired beta-strand structured by residues 30-32, a turn of 3(10)-helix compromising residues 38-41, and a 3(1)-helix for residues 21-24 and 74-79. We also identify alignable 3(1)-helices in previously reported homologous kringle structures. Rather high order parameter S(2) values (= approximately 0.85 +/- 0.04) characterize the K2 backbone dynamics. The lowest flexibility is observed for the two inner loop segments of residues 51-63 AND 63-75 (= approximately 0.86-0.87 +/- 0.03). Overhauser connectivities reveal close hydrophobic contacts of the ligand ring with side chains of Tyr(36), Trp(62), Phe(64), Trp(72), AND Leu(74). In most K2 structures, the N atom of AMCHA places itself approximately 3.9 and 4.4A from the anionic groups of Glu(57) and Asp(55), respectively, while its carboxylate group, H-bonded to the Tyr(36) side chain OH(eta), ion-pairs the Arg(71) guanidinium group. Consistent with the preference of K2 for binding 5-aminopentanoic acid over 6-aminohexanoic acid, the positions of the ionic centers within the K2 binding site approach each other approximately 1A closer relative to what is observed in lysine binding sites of homologous Pgn modules. 相似文献

The intact kringle 4 domain of chicken plasminogen has been characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 300 and 620 MHz in both the presence and absence of epsilon-aminocaproic acid, an antifibrinolytic drug. The study focuses on the aromatic resonances. Comparisons with spectra from human, porcine and bovine kringle 4 homologs indicates a strict conservancy of conformation, reflecting the underlying primary sequence homology, and leads to an unambiguous assignment of all the aromatic resonances, including those of Phe15 and His40 which are unique to the chicken domain. Conclusive evidence is found that the Tyr9 ring fluctuates between two states, one in which it flips fast and other in which it is severely hindered. Similarly, the Tyr64 side chain finds itself in a structurally constrained locus. The Trp62, Tyr64, and Trp72 aromatic resonances are most sensitive to ligand presence, supporting a previously reported model of the kringle 4 lysine-binding site. His40, Phe41, and Tyr74 are also perturbed by ligand indicating proximity to the site. In contrast, the Phe15 aromatic spectrum indicates a rather mobile phenyl ring which is insensitive to ligand presence, thus confirming the lesser importance of the corresponding segment within the first kringle loop in determining kringle structure and/or function. 相似文献

Interactions between the kringle 4 (K4) domain of human plasminogen (Pgn) and segments of the N-terminal Glu1-Lys77 peptide (NTP) have been investigated via 1H-NMR at 500 MHz. NTP peptide stretches devoid of Lys residues but carrying an internal Arg residue show negligible affinity toward K4 (equilibrium association constant Ka < 0.05 mM(-1)). In contrast, while most fragments containing an internal Lys residue exhibit affinities comparable to that shown by the blocked Lys derivative Nalpha-acetyl-L-lysine-methyl ester (Ka approximately 0.2 mM(-1), peptides encompassing Lys50O consistently show higher Ka values. Among the investigated linear peptides, Nalpha-acetyl-Ala-Phe-Tyr-His-Ser-Ser-Lys5O-Glu-Gln-NH2 (AcAFYHSK5OEQ-NH2) exhibits the strongest interaction with K4 (Ka approximately 1.4 mM(-1)), followed by AcYHSK50EQ-NH2 (Ka approximately 0.9 mM(-1)). Relative to the wild-type sequence, mutated hexapeptides exhibit lesser affinity for K4. When a Lys50 --> Ser mutation was introduced (==> AcYHSS50EQ-NH2), binding was abolished. The Ile27-lle56 construct (L-NTP) contains the Lys50 site within a loop constrained by two cystine bridges. The propensity of recombinant Pgn K1 (rK1) and K2 (rK2) modules, and of Pgn fragments encompassing the intact K4 and K5 domains, for binding L-NTP, was investigated. We find that L-NTP interacts with rK1, rK2, K4, and K5-all lysine-binding kringles-in a fashion that closely mimics what has been observed for the Glul-HSer57 N-terminal fragment of Pgn (CB-NTP). Thus, both the constellation of kringle lysine binding site (LBS) aromatic residues that are perturbed upon complexation of L-NTP and magnitudes of kringle-L-NTP binding affinities (rK1, Ka approximately 4.3 mM(-1); rK2, Ka approximately 3.7 mM(-1; K4, Ka approximately 6.4 mM(1); and K5, Ka approximately 2.1 mM(-1)) are essentially the same as for the corresponding kringle-CB-NTP pairs. Molecular modeling studies suggest that the Glu39-Lys50 stretch in NTP generates an area that complements, both topologically and electrostatically, the solvent-exposed kringle LBS surface. 相似文献

The low-field 1H NMR spectrum of the kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen has been investigated at 300 and 600 MHz for the protein dissolved in 1H2O. The spectrum exhibits six well-resolved resonances, spanning the 9.8 approximately less than delta approximately less than 13 ppm chemical shift range, which arise from exchange-labile H atoms. The acid-base response of the six resonances was monitored in order to characterize the signals in terms of their pH titration profiles. The sensitivity of the low-field resonances to kringle binding the antifibrinolytic ligands N alpha-acetyl-L-lysine and p-benzylaminesulfonic acid was also investigated. The lowest field resonance, at 12.6 ppm, is a doublet of J approximately 7.9 Hz, a splitting that is unprecedented for His or Trp ring NH signals. Selective Overhauser experiments centered on the exchangeable proton transitions identify four of the other resonances as stemming from the His31, His33, Trp I, and Trp II side-chain NH groups, where the latter two are, as yet, not definitely assigned to the specific residues, Trp25 and Trp62. The relative narrowness of the His imidazole NH signals indicates that the two rings are sterically shielded from direct water accessibility. In particular, the His33 NH site appears to be the most protected. The Overhauser evidence conclusively shows that the two identified exchangeable His ring proton signals arise from imidazole NH3 sites rather than from the NH1 tautomers. Similarly, these experiments lead to an unambigous characterization of the corresponding Trp aromatic CH spin systems.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Isolation, purification and 1H-NMR characterization of a kringle 5 domain fragment from human plasminogen 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A scheme is proposed for generating the intact Val-448-Phe-545 polypeptide of human plasminogen which contains the fifth kringle domain of the plasmin heavy chain. The procedure is based on a pepsin fragmentation of miniplasminogen and involves the purification of the kringle 5-containing fragment by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The final product is characterized by amino acid analysis, N- and C-terminal analyses, and high-resolution 1H-NMR spectroscopy at both 300 MHz and 611 MHz. We detect a (40:60%) Asp/Asn heterogeneity at site 452 of the Glu-plasminogen molecule. In the conventional kringle numbering system, the kringle 5 domain extends from Cys-1 to Cys-80, which corresponds to Cys-461 to Cys-540 in plasminogen. A preliminary 1H-NMR characterization of kringle 5 focuses on the global conformational features of the polypeptide. Assignments are given for a number of resonances, including the Tyr-72, the His imidazoles' and the Trp indoles' spin systems. Comparison with human plasminogen kringles 1 and 4 shows that the kringle 5 conformation is highly structured and very similar to that of the homologous domains. This conservancy is particularly striking in the environment surrounding Leu-46 and in the overall features of the aromatic spectrum. There are some differences, particularly in the buried His-33 imidazole group, whose H2 resonance is shifted to 9.67 ppm. A preliminary study of benzamidine-binding shows that the ligand interacts weakly (Ka approximately equal to 1.7 mM -1) mainly through the amidino functional group. Trp-62 and Tyr-72 are significantly perturbed by benzamidine, suggesting that these residues are part of the ligand-binding site. 相似文献

Solution structure of the tissue-type plasminogen activator kringle 2 domain complexed to 6-aminohexanoic acid an antifibrinolytic drug. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The solution structure of a recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator kringle 2 domain, complexed with the antifibrinolytic drug 6-aminohexanoic acid (6-AHA) was determined via 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and dynamical simulated annealing calculations. The structure determination is based on 610 intramolecular kringle 2 and 14 intermolecular kringle 2-6-AHA interproton distance restraints, as well as on 82 torsion angle restraints. Three sets of simulated annealing structures were computed from three different classes of starting structures: (1) random conformations devoid of disulfide bridges; (2) random conformations that contain correct disulfide bonds; and (3) a folded conformation modeled after the homologous prothrombin kringle 1 X-ray crystallographic structure. All three sets of structures are well defined, with averaged atomic root-mean-square deviations between individual structures and mean set structures of 0.77, 0.99 and 0.70 A for backbone atoms, and 1.36, 1.55 and 1.41 A for all atoms, respectively. Kringle 2 is an oblate ellipsoid with overall dimensions of approximately 34 A x 30 A x 17 A. It exhibits a compact globular conformation characterized by a number of turns and loop elements as well as by one right-handed alpha-helix and five (1 extended and 4 rudimentary) antiparallel beta-sheets. The extended beta-sheet exhibits a right-handed twist. Close van der Waals' contacts between the Cys22-Cys63 and Cys51-Cys75 disulfide bridges and the central hydrophobic core composed of the Trp25, Leu46, His48a and Trp62 side-chains are among the distinguishing features of the kringle 2 fold. The binding site for 6-AHA appears as a rather exposed cleft with a negatively charged locus defined by the Asp55 and Asp57 side-chains, and with an aromatic pocket structured by the Tyr36, Trp62, His64 and Trp72 side-chains. The Trp62 and His64 rings line the back surface of the pocket, while the Tyr36 and Trp72 rings confine it from two sides. The Trp62 and Trp72 indole rings conform a V-shaped groove. The methyl groups of Val35 also contribute lipophilic character to the ligand-interacting surface. It is suggested that the positively charged side-chains of Lys34 and, potentially, Arg69 may favor interactions with the carboxylate group of the ligand. The Trp25 and Tyr74 aromatic rings, although conserved elements of the binding site structure, seem not to undergo direct contacts with the ligand. 相似文献

The aromatic H NMR spectrum of the kringle 1 domain from human plasminogen has been investigated by proton Overhauser experiments, acid-base titration, and two-dimensional chemical shift correlated spectroscopy. Spin-echo and pH response experiments lead to the identification of the N-terminal Tyr-3 phenol ring signals. The connectivities among the tryptophanyl aromatic protons have been established and sets of singlet-doublet-triplet resonances stemming from each of the two indole groups sorted according to their common side chain origin. Similarly, the four histidyl singlets have been identified and paired per imidazole group. From their pH responses, it is indicated that a histidyl (His31) and a tryptophanyl (Trp-II) residue are placed in the neighborhood of carboxyl groups. The high-field chemical shifts observed for proton resonances of the ligand epsilon-aminocaproic acid upon binding to kringle 1 indicate that the ligand-binding site is rich in aromatic components. Overhauser experiments reveal that Leu46 is surrounded by a cluster of interacting aromatic side chains, which includes Trp25, Phe36, His41, Trp62, and Tyr64, and define a hydrophobic region contiguous to the kringle lysine-binding site. Relative internuclear distances have been estimated for aromatic H-atoms in the vicinity of Leu46 by reference to one of the latter's CH3 sigma, sigma' groups. Some of the connectives have previously been found for Leu46 in kringle 4 which further supports the idea of a common structure for the homologous domains. 相似文献

A 1H-NMR study of isolated domains from human plasminogen. Structural homology between kringles 1 and 4 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Kringles 1 and 4 from human plasminogen are polypeptide domains of Mr approximately equal to 10000 each of which can be isolated by proteolysis of the zymogen. They have been studied by 1H-NMR spectroscopy at 300 MHz and 600 MHz. The spectra, characteristic of globular structures, show striking analogies that point to a close conformational relatedness among the two kringles, consistent with their high degree of amino acid conservancy and homology. The interaction of both kringles with p-benzylaminesulfonic acid (BASA), an antifibrinolytic drug that binds to a lysine-binding site, results in better resolved, narrower lines for both spectra. Aromatic and methyl-region spectra of BASA complexes of kringles 1 and 4 were compared and the latter was studied by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Analysis of the CH3 multiplets in terms of their resonance patterns, and the amino acid compositions and sequences of the two kringles, leads to the identification of most signals and to some assignments. In particular, a doublet at -1 ppm, exhibited by both kringles and also found in reported proton spectra of homologous bovine prothrombin fragments, has been assigned to Leu46, a residue that is conserved in all of the kringles studied to date by 1H-NMR. Since this resonance is somewhat more sensitive to BASA than other methyl signals, it is likely that Leu46 is proximal to the lysine-binding site. Nuclear Overhauser experiments reveal that Leu46 is surrounded by a cluster of closely interacting hydrophobic and aromatic side chains. Kringle 4 was also compared with a derivative chemically modified at Trp72 with dimethyl(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)sulfonium bromide. As judged from the proton spectra, the modified kringle 4 retains globularity and is perturbed mainly in the aromatic region, in analogy to that which is observed for the unmodified kringle upon BASA binding. Furthermore, although previous studies have indicated no retention of the modified kringle by lysine-Sepharose, the NMR studies point to a definite interaction between BASA and the kringle derivative. The spectroscopic data also suggest that the His31 imidazole is not significantly affected by the ligand and that the lysine-binding site is structured mostly by hydrophobic side chains, including Trp72 in the case of kringle 4, and probably Tyr72 in kringle 1. 相似文献

The alpha(2)-plasmin inhibitor (A2PI) is a main physiological regulator of the trypsin-like serine proteinase plasmin. It is composed of an N-terminal 15 amino acid fibrin cross-linking polypeptide, a 382-residue serpin domain, and a flexible C-terminal segment. The latter, peptide Asn(398)-Lys(452), and its Lys452Ala mutant were expressed as recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli (r-A2PIC and r-A2PICmut, respectively). CD and NMR analyses indicate that r-A2PIC is flexible, loosely folded, and with low content of regular secondary structure. Functional characterization via intrinsic fluorescence ligand titrations shows that r-A2PIC interacts with the isolated plasminogen kringle 1 (r-K1) (K(a) approximately 69.9 mM(-)(1)), K4 (K(a) approximately 45.7 mM(-)(1)), K5 (K(a) approximately 4.3 mM(-)(1)), and r-K2 (K(a) approximately 3.2 mM(-)(1)), all of which are known to exhibit lysine-binding capability. The affinities of these kringles for r-A2PIC are consistently larger than those reported for the ligand N(alpha)-acetyllysine, a mimic of a C-terminal Lys residue. The r-A2PICmut, with a C-terminal Ala residue, also interacts with r-K1 and K4, although with approximately 5-fold lesser affinities relative to r-A2PIC, demonstrating that while Lys(452) plays a major role in the binding, internal residues in r-A2PIC tether the kringles. (1)H NMR spectroscopy shows that key aromatic residues within the K4 lysine-binding site (LBS), namely, Trp(25), Trp(62), Phe(64), Trp(72), and Tyr(74), selectively respond to the addition of r-A2PIC and r-A2PICmut, indicating that these interactions proceed via the kringles' canonical LBS. We conclude that r-A2PIC docks to kringles primarily through lysine side chains and that Lys(452) most definitely enhances the binding. This suggests that multiple Lys residues within A2PI could contribute, perhaps in a zipper-like fashion, to its binding to the in-tandem, multikringle array that configures the plasmin heavy chain. 相似文献

The isolated kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen has been compared with homologous structures from bovine and porcine sources, both free and in the presence of the ligand 6-aminohexanoic acid, by two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopies at 300 MHz and 600 MHz. The chemical-shift-correlated, spin-echo-correlated, and double-quantum-correlated aromatic spectra of the three proteins reveal that the globular conformation of the fourth kringle is closely maintained throughout the set of homologs. Direct comparison shows that the three conserved Trp residues (at sites 25, 62 and 72) which exhibit highly non-degenerate subspectra, find themselves in similar intramolecular environments. In particular, proton Overhauser experiments reveal that the close steric interaction between the Trp-II (Trp62 or Trp25) indole group and the aromatic ring at site 74 (Tyr74 or Phe74) is strictly preserved. This feature forces the kringle inner loop, closed by the Cys51-Cys75 link, to fold back onto itself so as to place the site 74 residue proximal to the Cys22-Cys63 bridge. Single-residue substitutions enable unambiguous assignments of His-I to His3, Tyr-III to Tyr41 and Tyr-IV to Tyr74. From this direct evidence, comparison with the kringle 1 spectrum, and the previously reported chemical modification of Tyr-II (Tyr50) [Trexler M., Bányai L., Patthy L., Pluck N. D. & Williams R. J. P. (1985) Eur. J. Biochem. 152, 439-446], Tyr-I and Tyr-V (the latter, an immobile ring on the 600-MHz time scale) could be assigned to Tyr2 and Tyr9, respectively. Since Trp-III has previously been assigned to Trp72 at the lysine-binding site, the present study completes the assignment of 10 out of 12 aromatic spin systems in the kringle 4 1H-NMR spectrum; the only ambiguity which remains concerns the Trp-I and Trp-II indole spin systems, which are totally identified but as yet only tentatively assigned to Trp25 and Trp62, respectively. 相似文献

The interaction of the isolated human plasminogen kringle 4 with the four -amino acid ligands -aminocaproic acid (ACA), N-acetyl-l-lysine (AcLys), trans-aminomethyl(cyclohexane)carboxylic acid (AMCHA) and p-benzylaminesulfonic acid (BASA) has been further characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy at 300 and 600 MHz. Pronounced high-field shifts, reaching 3 ppm, are observed for AMCHA resonances upon binding to kringle 4, which underscores the relevance of ligand lipophilic interactions with aromatic side chains at the binding site. Ligand titration curves for the nine His and Trp singlets found in the kringle 4 aromatic spectrum reveal a striking uniformity in the kringle response to the various ligands. The average binding curves exhibit a clear Langmuir absorption isotherm saturation profile and the data were analyzed under the assumption of one (high affinity) binding site per kringle. Equilibrium association constants (K

Ligand-binding effects on the kringle 4 domain from human plasminogen: a study by laser photo-CIDNP 1H-NMR spectroscopy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Photo-chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) one-dimensional and two-dimensional (2D) 1H-NMR techniques have been applied to the study of the kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen both ligand-free and complexed to the antifibrinolytic drugs epsilon-aminocaproic acid and p-benzylaminesulfonic acid (BASA). A number of aromatic side-chains (His3, Trp72, Tyr41, Tyr50 and Tyr74) appear to be exposed and accessible to 3-N-carboxymethyl-lumiflavin, the photopolarizing flavin dye, both in the presence and in the absence of ligands. A lesser exposure is observed for the Trp25 and Trp62 indole groups in the presence of BASA. The spin-spin (J-coupling) and dipolar (Overhauser) connectivities in the 2D experiments afford absolute assignment of aromatic resonances for the above residues, as well as of those stemming from the Trp72 ring in the presence of BASA. Moreover, a number of H beta resonances can be identified and sorted according to specific types of amino acid residues. 相似文献

The properties of the cationic locus within the recombinant (r) kringle 2 domain (residues 180-261) of tissue-type plasminogen activator ([K2tPA]) that are responsible for stabilization of its interaction with the carboxylate moiety of omega-amino acid ligands have been assessed by determination of the binding constants of several such ligands to a variety of r-[K2tPA] mutants obtained by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. We have generated, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified alanyl mutants of individual histidyl,lysyl, and arginyl residues of r-[K2tPA] and determined the dissociation constants of several omega-amino acids, viz., 6-aminohexanoic acid (6-AHxA), 7-aminoheptanoic acid (7-AHpA), L-lysine (L-Lys), and trans-(aminomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (AMCHA), to each of the r-[K2tPA] variants. We find that K33 plays the most significant role as a cationic partner of the complementary carboxylate group of these ligands. When K33 is altered to a variety of other amino acids, the K33R mutant best stabilizes binding of all of these ligands. However, the r-K33L and r-K33F variants selectively interact with 7-AHpA almost as strongly (ca. 2-fold reduction in binding strength) as wild-type r-[K2tPA]. Increased polarity (K33Q) or a negative charge (K33E) at this sequence position significantly destabilizes binding of omega-amino acids to the muteins. We also found that the r-K33E mutant and, to a lesser extent, the r-K33Q variant selectively interact with a new ligand, 1,6-diaminohexane. These observations show that the omega-amino acid binding site of wtr-[K2tPA] could be redesigned to provide a new binding specificity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The aliphatic 1H-NMR spectrum of the kringle 4 domain of human plasminogen has been studied via two-dimensional chemical shift correlated (COSY) and nuclear Overhauser correlated (NOESY) experiments at 300 MHz and 620 MHz. A number of aliphatic proton spin systems have been identified and several definite assignments have been made. This was mainly achieved by comparison of the human kringle 4 spectrum with spectra of the porcine, bovine and chicken homologs and also with that of the kringle 1 from human plasminogen on which we have reported previously. The three valyl and two leucyl residues of human kringle 4 have been assigned. The eleven threonyl spin systems have been identified via a RELAYED-COSY experiment and Thr17 has been assigned. The three alanyl spin systems have been identified and assigned. Six seryl spin systems have been identified and the signals from the seven glycyl residues of human kringle 4 have been located with Gly45 assigned. Furthermore, 24 AMX spin systems have been mapped in the COSY spectrum of human kringle 4 and H alpha-H beta,beta' spin systems of Tyr2, Tyr41, Tyr50, Tyr74, Trp25 and Trp62 have been assigned. From the spectrum of a deglycosylated chicken homolog, the epsilon-methyl singlets of Met28 and Met48 have been assigned. Finally, ligand effects on selected aliphatic resonances were observed which could be analyzed in terms of residues likely to neighbor the kringle lysine-binding site. 相似文献
