Abstract excerpt
The importance of a specific variable region in different serine proteases for the interaction with plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) is studied. To that end, we have constructed a thrombin substitution variant, thrombin-VR1, in which the entire variable region 1 (VR1) of the protease domain (Phe-34 to Leu-40) has been replaced by the corresponding sequence (Phe-294 to Phe-305) of tissue-type plasminogen...
