Serpin reactive center loop mobility is required for inhibitor function but not for enzyme recognition.
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
One feature that distinguishes all of the inhibitory members of the serpin gene family is the presence of a small uncharged residue at the P14 position of the reactive center loop. In this report we examine the effects of mutations at this position, in the serpin, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1). Replacement of the native P14 Thr-333 residue by an Arg (Thr-333-->Arg) resulted in complete loss of...
