Structural highlights
Disease
[PAI1_HUMAN] Defects in SERPINE1 are the cause of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 deficiency (PAI-1D) [MIM:613329]. It is a hematologic disorder characterized by increased bleeding after trauma, injury, or surgery. Affected females have menorrhagia. The bleeding defect is due to increased fibrinolysis of fibrin blood clots due to deficiency of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, which inhibits tissue and urinary activators of plasminogen.[1] Note=High concentrations of SERPINE1 seem to contribute to the development of venous but not arterial occlusions.
Function
[PAI1_HUMAN] Serine protease inhibitor. This inhibitor acts as 'bait' for tissue plasminogen activator, urokinase, protein C and matriptase-3/TMPRSS7. Its rapid interaction with PLAT may function as a major control point in the regulation of fibrinolysis.[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Here we report the crystal structure of a stablilized plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 variant (PAI-1-N150H-K154T-Q301P-Q319L-M354I (PAI-1-stab)) that shows a cleavage within the reactive centre loop. The new structure is of superior quality compared to the previously determined structure of the cleaved PAI-1-A335P mutant. We present a detailed comparison of the two structures and also compare them with the structure of the active PAI-1-stab. The structural data give important insights into the working mechanism of PAI-1 and also explain the role of various stabilizing mutations.
