Myelin basic protein stimulates plasminogen activation via tissue plasminogen activator following binding to independent L-lysine-containing domains
Author
Abstract
Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a key component of myelin, the specialized lipid membrane that encases
the axons of all neurons. Both plasminogen (Pg) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) bind to
MBP with high affinity. We investigated the kinetics and mechanisms involved in this process using
immobilized MBP and found that Pg activation by t-PA is significantly stimulated by MBP. This mechanism
involves the binding of t-PA via a lysine-dependent mechanism to the Lys91 residue of the MBP
NH2-terminal region Asp82 -Pro99, and the binding of Pg via a lysine-dependent mechanism to the Lys122
residue of the MBP COOH-terminal region Leu109-Gly126. In this context, MBP mimics fibrin and because
MBP is a plasmin substrate, our results suggest direct participation of the Pg activation system on MBP
physiology.
