Mode of receptor binding and activation by plasminogen-related growth factors.
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) and macrophage stimulating protein (MSP) are plasminogen-related kringle proteins that lost serine protease domain enzymatic activity and became ligands for cell surface tyrosine kinase receptors. They are activated by cleavage to disulfide-linked alphabeta chains. Surprisingly, despite structural similarities, the high affinity receptor binding ...
متن کاملBinding and activation of human plasminogen by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The first evidence of the interaction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the plasminogen system is herein reported. By FACScan analysis and affinity blotting, lysine-dependent binding of plasminogen to M. tuberculosis was demonstrated. The binding molecules were 30-, 60-, and 66-kDa proteins present in cell wall and soluble protein extracts. The activation of plasminogen, which occurred only in...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a), fibrin binding, and plasminogen activation.
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is a complex plasma lipoprotein in which apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 is covalently linked by a disulfide bridge to a unique apolipoprotein, apo(a). The cDNA of apo(a) has recently been isolated and sequenced, and a remarkable homology to human plasminogen has been noted. In this report, we demonstrate that, like plasminogen, Lp(a) binds to fibrin. In addition, Lp(a) compet...
متن کاملTissue factor regulates plasminogen binding and activation.
Tissue factor (TF) has been implicated in several important biologic processes, including fibrin formation, atherogenesis, angiogenesis, and tumor cell migration. In that plasminogen activators have been implicated in the same processes, the potential for interactions between TF and the plasminogen activator system was examined. Plasminogen was found to bind directly to the extracellular domain...
متن کاملM6P/IGFII-receptor complexes urokinase receptor and plasminogen for activation of transforming growth factor-beta1.
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is a critical cytokine for cell proliferation and differentiation. It is secreted by many cells in a latent pro-form (LTGF-beta1) from which biologically active TGF-beta1 is released by an in vivo mechanism that is not known. Here we show that the mannose-6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II-receptor (M6P/IGFII-R), which binds LTGF-beta1, comple...
