background

Plasminogen activator, urokinase (uPA) is a secreted serine protease, cleaving the sequence Cys-Pro-Gly-Arg560-Val561-Val-Gly-Gly-Cys in plasminogen to form plasmin. Dysregulation of PLAU is often accompanied by various cancers and PLAU inhibition could suppress tumor growth. Collectively, PLAU is necessary for tumor progression and can be a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in HNSCC.

molecular weight

The protein has a predicted MW of 17.9 kDa (long chain A), 29.2 kDa (chain B) and 15.3 kDa (N-terminal fragment). The protein migrates to 30-38 kDa (chain B) and 17 kDa (N-terminal fragment) based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Protein names
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (U-plasminogen activator) (uPA) (EC 3.4.21.73) [Cleaved into: Urokinase-type plasminogen activator long chain A; Urokinase-type plasminogen activator short chain A; Urokinase-type plasminogen activator chain B]
Gene names
PLAU,PLAU
Protein family
Peptidase S1 family
Mass
9606Da
Function
Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin.
Subellular location
Secreted .
Tissues
Expressed in the prostate gland and prostate cancers.
Structure
Found in high and low molecular mass forms. Each consists of two chains, A and B. The high molecular mass form contains a long chain A which is cleaved to yield a short chain A. Forms heterodimer with SERPINA5. Binds LRP1B; binding is followed by internalization and degradation. Interacts with MRC2. Interacts with PLAUR. In complex with SERPINE1, interacts with PLAUR/uPAR (PubMed:15053742). Interacts with SORL1 and LRP1, either alone or in complex with SERPINE1; these interactions are abolished in the presence of LRPAP1/RAP (PubMed:15053742). The ternary complex composed of PLAUR-PLAU-PAI1 also interacts with SORLA (PubMed:15053742).
Post-translational modification
Phosphorylation of Ser-158 and Ser-323 abolishes proadhesive ability but does not interfere with receptor binding.; Produced as an inactive single-chain protein (pro-uPA or sc-uPA), is processed into the active disulfide-linked two-chain form of PLAU/uPA by a proteolytic event mediated, at least, by TMPRSS4.
