Abstract excerpt
Streptokinase (SK) is a 414 amino acid bacterial protein that activates human plasminogen. Streptokinase fragments derived from the central portion of the protein bind plasminogen, but are inactive, indicating that the amino- and/or carboxyl-termini are required for normal plasminogen activator activity. To better define the function of the N- and C-termini of SK we generated and characterized 21 N-terminal and...
