CLEAVED SUBSTRATE VARIANT OF PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR INHIBITOR-1
Contents |
Overview
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is unique among the serine, proteinase inhibitors (serpins) in that it can adopt at least three, different conformations (active, substrate and latent). We report the, X-ray structure of a cleaved substrate variant of human PAI-1, which has a, new beta-strand s4A formed by insertion of the amino-terminal portion of, the reactive-site loop into beta-sheet A subsequent to cleavage. This is, in contrast to the previous suggestion that the non-inhibitory function of, substrate-type serpins is mainly due to an inability of the reactive-site, loop to adopt this conformation. Comparison with the structure of latent, PAI-1 provides insights into the molecular determinants responsible for, the transition of the stressed active conformation to the thermostable, latent conformation.
