BM 06.022 is a t-PA deletion variant that is produced as inactive inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli and transformed into the native form by an in vitro refolding process. Until now, no X-ray and NMR structures of BM 06.022 were available. Therefore a detailed kinetic analysis of the hydrolysis of peptide substrates and of the inhibition by several benzamidine-derived inhibitors was carried out in order to assess that the active site region of the protease domain of BM 06.022 is correctly structured in comparison with t-PA. Our data reveal that the single-chain as well as the two-chain form of BM 06.022 and native t-PA are similar in catalytic and in inhibitor binding properties. This indicates that the active site and the highly complex rearrangement of t-PA upon cleavage of the Arg275-Ile276 bond are maintained in BM 06.022.

The sequence-specific 1H NMR assignments of the 89-residue recombinant kringle domain from human urokinase are presented. These were achieved primarily by utilizing TOCSY and NOESY spectra in conjunction with COSY spectra recorded at 500 MHz and 600 MHz. Regular secondary structure elements have been derived from a qualitative interpretation of nuclear Overhauser enhancement, JNH alpha coupling constant, and amide proton exchange data. Two helices have been identified. One helix, involving Ser40-Gly46, corresponds to that reported for t-PA kringle 2 (Byeon et al., 1991), but does not exist in other kringles with known structures. The second helix, in the region Asn26-Gln33, is thus far unique to the urokinase kringle. Three antiparallel beta-sheets and three tight turns have also been identified, which correspond exactly to those identified in t-PA kringle 2 both in solution and in the crystalline state (de Vos et al., 1992). Despite the very different ligand binding properties of the urokinase kringle, NOE data indicate that the tertiary fold of the molecule conforms closely to that found for other kringles.

Structural analysis of enzymically released N-linked carbohydrate chains of human urokinase (urinary-type plasminogen activator) by 1H NMR spectroscopy and FAB-MS demonstrated that the N-linked oligosaccharides on the only N-glycosylation site contain diantennary structures with the novel GalNAc beta (1-4) [Fuc alpha (1-3)]GlcNAc beta (1-2) element in the upper or the lower branch.

The role of W74 in stabilization of the binding of omega-amino acids to the recombinant (r) kringle 2 domain (residues 180-261) of tissue-type plasminogen activator ([K2tPA]) has been assessed by examination of the binding (dissociation) constants (Kd) of epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) and one of its structural analogues, 7-aminoheptanoic acid (7-AHpA), to variants of r-[K2tPA] generated by site-directed mutagenesis of the wild-type kringle domain. Two nonconservative mutations at W74 of r-[K2tPA] have been constructed, expressed, and purified, resulting in one variant molecule containing a W74L mutation (r-[K2tPA/W74L]) and another containing a W74S mutation (r-[K2tPA/W74S]). In both cases, binding of EACA and 7-AHpA was virtually eliminated in the mutated kringles. Two additional conservative mutations at W74 of r-[K2tPA] have been similarly generated, resulting in r-[K2tPA/W74F] and r-[K2tPA/W74Y]. For these mutants, binding of the same ligands to the variant recombinant kringle domain is retained, although it is significantly weaker in nature. The 1H-NMR spectra of each of the variant kringles demonstrates that all retain the general gross conformations of their wild-type counterpart but that some environmental changes of proton resonances occur at particular aromatic amino acid residues that may be involved in omega-amino acid binding. Differential scanning calorimetric analyses of each of the variant kringles suggest that none of the mutations led to substantial destabilization of their structures, again suggestive of gross conformational similarities in all r-[K2tPA] molecules constructed. We conclude that the aromatic character present at position 74 of wild-type r-[K2tPA] is of great importance to its ability to interact with omega-amino acid ligands, with tryptophan being the most effective amino acid at that position.

The solvent evaporation technique was employed to prepare poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres with 165Ho acetylacetonate (Ho-AcAc). Particle size, percentage Ho-165, percent residual solvent, and retentive ability of the spheres were found to be strongly affected by preparatory conditions. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms suggested that the Ho-AcAc existed in the PLA matrix as a molecular dispersion. High neutron flux irradiations of the PLA spheres in a nuclear reactor produced Ho-166, a therapeutic radionuclide that emits high-energy negatrons (Emax = 1.84 MeV; half-life = 26.9 hr). The gamma radiation dose (53-75 Mrad) from the core of the reactor provided an overkill of all bioburdens in the PLA spheres. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis showed that these irradiations caused a reduction in PLA molecular weight. Infrared spectra, 13C NMR spectra, 1H NMR spectra, and DSC thermograms further confirmed the presence of lower molecular weight PLA but proved the overall maintenance of PLA structure.

A recombinant 90-residue polypeptide fragment containing the three-loop kringle-2 domain of human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) has been studied by two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectroscopy at 500 MHz. Complete sequence-specific resonance assignments were derived. Overall, the kringle exhibits a compact, folded conformation with more than 50% of the residues in irregular structures. Elements of secondary structure were identified from sequential, medium- and long-range dipolar (Overhauser) interproton interactions. These identifications were corroborated by analysis of spin-spin scalar 3J alpha N splittings and identification of backbone amide NH protons exhibiting retarded 1H/2H exchange in 2H2O. Three antiparallel beta-sheets and six tight turns were located. In addition, one short alpha-helical region was found in the Ser43-Ala44-Gln44a-Ala44b-Leu44c-Gly45+ ++ segment; this region contains three-residue insertions unique to the t-PA and urokinase kringles. Although the secondary structure of the t-PA kringle 2 in solution is in overall agreement with that observed in the crystallographic structure of the prothrombin kringle 1 [Tulinsky, A., Park, C.H. & Skrzypczak-Jankun, E. (1988) J. Mol. Biol. 202, 885-901], the alpha-helical segment and other details of the secondary structure differ somewhat from the prothrombin homolog.

The solution structure of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (124 residues, 14 kDa) has been studied by two-dimensional homonuclear 1H and two- and three-dimensional heteronuclear 15N-1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Backbone assignments were made for 117 of the 124 amino acids. Short-range nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) data show three alpha-helices from residues 1-13, 40-58, and 90-109, an antiparallel beta-sheet for residues 74-85, and a small antiparallel beta-sheet between residues 25-26 and 115-116. A 15N-1H heteronuclear multiple-quantum correlation experiment was used to monitor amide proton exchange over a period of 22 h. In total, 61 amide protons showed slow or intermediate exchange, 46 of which are located in the three large helices. Helix 90-109 was found to be considerably more stable than the other helices. For the beta-sheets, four hydrogen bonds could be identified. The secondary structure of porcine PLA in solution, as deduced from NMR, is basically the same as the structure of porcine PLA in the crystalline state. Differences were found in the following regions, however. Residues 1-6 in the first alpha-helix are less structured in solution than in the crystal structure. Whereas in the crystal structure residues 24-29 are involved both in a beta-sheet with residues 115-117 and in a hairpin turn, the expected hydrogen bonds between residues 24-117 and 25-29 do not show slow exchange behavior. This and the absence of several expected NOEs imply that this region has a less well defined structure in solution. Finally, the hydrogen bond between residues 78-81, which is part of a beta-sheet, does not show slow exchange behavior.

HPLC analysis of sialic acids released from recombinant variants of human tissue plasminogen activator, human chimeric plasminogen activator, human erythropoietin, and human follitropin, expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells, demonstrates for each glycoprotein the presence of N-acetylneuraminic acid and N-glycolylneuraminic acid in a ratio of 97:3. Structural analysis by 500 MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy, of the enzymatically released N-linked carbohydrate chains of chimeric plasminogen activator and of erythropoietin, showed that alpha 2-3 linked N-glycolylneuraminic acid can occur in different N-acetyllactosamine type antennary structures.

Recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), produced by expression in Chinese hamster ovary cells, is a fibrin-specific plasminogen activator which has been approved for clinical use in the treatment of myocardial infarction. In this study, the structures of the Asn-linked oligosaccharides of Chinese hamster ovary-expressed rt-PA have been elucidated. High mannose and hybrid oligosaccharides were released from the protein by endoglycosidase H digestion, whereas N-acetyllactosamine-type ("complex") oligosaccharides were released by peptide:N-glycosidase F digestion. The oligosaccharides were fractionated by gel permeation chromatography and anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and their structures were analyzed by composition and methylation analysis, high pH anion exchange chromatography, fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry (FAB-MS), and 500-MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy. High mannose oligosaccharides were found to account for 38% of the total carbohydrate content of rt-PA and consisted of Man5GlcNAc2, Man6GlcNAc2, and Man7GlcNAc2 in the ratio 1.8:1.7:1. Two hybrid oligosaccharides were identified and accounted for 3% of the carbohydrate of rt-PA. The N-acetyllactosamine-type oligosaccharides were found to comprise diantennary (34% of total carbohydrate), 2,4-branched triantennary (11%), 2,6-branched triantennary (9%), and tetraantennary (5%) structures. Sialylation of these oligosaccharides was by alpha (2----3) linkages to galactose. Most (greater than 90%) of the N-acetyllactosamine-type structures contained fucose alpha (1----6) linked to the Asn-linked N-acetylglucosamine residue. The distribution of oligosaccharide structures at individual glycosylation sites (Asn residues 117, 184, and 448) was also determined. rt-PA exists as two variants that differ by the presence (type I) or absence (type II) of carbohydrate at Asn-184. Tryptic glycopeptides were isolated by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and treated with peptide:N-glycosidase F. The oligosaccharides released from each glycosylation site were analyzed by high pH anion exchange chromatography. By this analysis, Asn-117 was demonstrated to carry exclusively high mannose oligosaccharides. When glycosylated, Asn-184 carried diantennary, 2,4-branched triantennary, 2,6-branched triantennary, and tetraantennary N- acetyllactosamine oligosaccharides in the ratio 9.0:4.5:1.4:1. Asn- 448 carried the same types of oligosaccharides, but in the ratio 7.5:1.6:2.1:1. The distributions of Asn-linked oligosaccharides at positions 117 and 448 were found not to be affected by the presence or absence of carbohydrate at position 184. The relevance of the

The kringle 2 domain of human tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) has been characterized via 1H NMR spectroscopy at 300 and 620 MHz. The experiments were performed on the isolated domain obtained by expression of the 174-263 portion of t-PA in Escherichia coli [Cleary et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 1884-1891]. The spectrum of t-PA kringle 2 is characteristic of a globular structure and shows overall similarity to that of the plasminogen (PGN) kringle 4. Spectral comparison with human and bovine PGN kringle 4 identifies side-chain resonances from Leu46, which afford a fingerprint of kringle folding, and from most of the aromatic ring spin systems. Assignment of signals arising from the His13, His48a, and His64 side chains, which are unique to t-PA kringle 2, was assisted by the availability of a His64----Tyr mutant. Ligand-binding studies confirm that t-PA kringle 2 binds L-lysine with an association constant Ka approximately 11.9 mM-1. The data indicate that homologous or conserved residues relative to those that compose the lysine-binding sites of PGN kringles 1 and 4 are involved in the binding of L-lysine to t-PA kringle 2. These include Tyr36 and, within the kringle inner loop, Trp62, His64, Trp72, and Tyr74. Acid/base titration of aromatic singlets in the presence of L-lysine yields pKa* approximately 6.25 and approximately 4.41 for His13 and His64, respectively, and shows that the His48a imidazole group does not protonate down to pH* approximately 4.3. Thus, the His48a and His64 side chains are in solvent-shielded locations. As observed for the PGN kringles, the Trp62 indole group titrates with pKa* approximately 4.60, which indicates proximity of the side chain to a titratable carboxyl group, most likely that of Asp57 at the binding site. Several labile NH protons of t-PA kringle 2 exhibit retarded H-exchange kinetics, requiring more than a week in 2H2O for full deuteration in the presence of L-lysine at 37 degrees C. This reveals that kringle 2 is endowed with a compact, dynamically stable conformation. Proton Overhauser experiments in 1H2O, centered on well-resolved NH resonances between 9.8 and 12 ppm, identify signals arising from the His48a imidazole NH3 proton and the three Trp indole NH1 protons. A strong dipolar interaction was observed among the Trp25 indole NH1, the Tyr50 amide NH, and the His48a imidazole CH2 protons, which affords evidence for an aromatic cluster in t-PA kringle 2 similar to that found at the hydrophobic kernel of PGN kringles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
