Plasmin Cleavage of Beta-2-Glycoprotein I Alters its Structure and Ability to Bind to Pathogenic Antibodies
2024-04-14
Abstract excerpt
Beta-2-Glycoprotein I (β2GPI) is the main autoantigenic target of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) with antibodies leading to clinical manifestations. There are two known structural isomers of β2GPI, a J shape and a circular shaped one. The transition between these structures is incompletely understood, with the functional implications unknown. β2GPI is a substrate of the protease plasmin, which cleaves within the...
