metabolism | plasminogen is an abundant circulating zymogen of the serine protease plasmin, which is the key enzyme in fibrinolysis. The physiological plasminogen activation by uPA (EC 3.4.21.73) or tPA (EC 3.4.21.68) is a single cut at the peptide bond R560-V561, which yields the two-chain active plasmin enzyme. Pla rapidly cleaves the same peptide as do the human physiological activators, and the formed plasmin remains enzymatically active as Pla does not degrade the B chain of plasmin that contains the protease catalytic domain | Yersinia pestis |
physiological function | Pla of the enteropathogen Yersinia pestis is a surface-exposed, transmembrane beta-barrel proteases of the omptin family that exhibit a complex array of interactions with the hemostatic systems in vitro, the protease is an established virulence factor. Pla favors fibrinolysis by direct activation of plasminogen, inactivation of the serpins plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and alpha2-antiplasmin, inactivation of the thrombin-activable fibrinolysis inhibitor, and activation of single-chain urokinase. Inactivation of alpha2AP enables proteolysis by the Pla-generated plasmin. The enzymatic activity of the protease is strongly influenced by the environment-induced variations in lipopolysaccharide that binds to the beta-barrel. The protease cleaves the tissue factor pathway inhibitor and thus also expresses procoagulant activity. Some of the functions observed for Pla, such as adhesiveness to laminin and invasiveness into human cells as well as efficient plasmin generation are not shown by PgtE (EC 3.4.23.49) or OmpT. Pla is adapted to support efficient plasminogen activation in the bubonic plague and to enhance bacterial survival in the lungs | Yersinia pestis |
