Hydrodynamic studies on the streptokinase complexes of human plasminogen, Val442-plasminogen, plasmin, and the plasmin-derived light (B) chain
Authors:G H Barlow  L Summaria  K C Robbins
Abstract:Sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium studies have been carried out on the Glu- and Lys-plasminogen-streptokinase complexes as well as on the complexes formed by Val442-plasmin and the light (B) chain of plasmin. Sedimentation equilibrium molecular weights are consistent with a 1 to 1 molar complex in all cases and give values consistent with the differences in size of the plasminogen moieties. Sedimentation velocity determinations in the presence of protease inhibitors give values consistent with the conformational differences already reported for the Glu- and Lys-plasminogen molecules. However, unlike Glu-plasminogen, the addition of epsilon-aminocaproic acid or lysine does not alter the conformation of the Glu-plasminogen complex. The values of the sedimentation coefficient and the molecular weight of the plasmin and the Val442-plasmin-streptokinase complexes increase to those of a dimer when determined in the absence of active-site inhibitors but return to monomer values when these inhibitors are added. Thus, dimer formation requires the presence of an available active site in at least one of the two molecules involved and is reversible.
