Abstract excerpt
Vitronectin (VN) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) have important functional interactions: VN stabilises the protease inhibitory activity of PAI-1 and PAI-1 inhibits binding of adhesion receptors to VN. Having previously mapped the PAI-1 binding area for VN, we have now constructed a PAI-1 variant, R103A-M112A-Q125A, without measurable affinity to VN, but with full protease inhibitory activity and...
