Abstract excerpt
The thrombin-thrombomodulin (TM) complex activates thrombin-activable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) more efficiently than thrombin alone. The exosite on TAFI required for its TM-dependent activation by thrombin has not been identified. Based on previous work by us and others, we generated TAFI variants with one or more of residues Lys 42, Lys 43, Lys 44 and Arg 12 within the activation peptide mutated to alanine....
