Popis: 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.
