Abstract excerpt
Protein C, a precursor to a natural plasma anticoagulant, and the platelet thrombin receptor, involved in cell activation, both require proteolytic cleavage to be activated. In humans, the sequences adjacent to the scissile bond of protein C, DPR/LID and the thrombin receptor DPR/SFL are similar. Previous studies with Asp-->Gly mutants indicated that both the P3 and the P3' Asp residues make either peptides or...
