background

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the predominant plasminogen activator present in the vascular and nervous systems.t tPA is not only neuroprotective for postnatal primary cortical neurons, but also that the predominant route for enhancing cell survival is via an mTORdependent mechanism.

molecular weight

The protein has a predicted MW of 60.13 kDa. The protein is activated by thermolysin and cleaved to a 2-chain protease, it migrates to 40-45 kDa (Chain A) and 35-40 kDa (Chain B) based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Protein names
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) (t-plasminogen activator) (tPA) (EC 3.4.21.68) (Alteplase) (Reteplase) [Cleaved into: Tissue-type plasminogen activator chain A; Tissue-type plasminogen activator chain B]
Gene names
PLAT,PLAT
Protein family
Peptidase S1 family
Mass
9606Da
Function
Converts the abundant, but inactive, zymogen plasminogen to plasmin by hydrolyzing a single Arg-Val bond in plasminogen. By controlling plasmin-mediated proteolysis, it plays an important role in tissue remodeling and degradation, in cell migration and many other physiopathological events. During oocyte activation, plays a role in cortical granule reaction in the zona reaction, which contributes to the block to polyspermy (By similarity).
Subellular location
Secreted, extracellular space.
Tissues
Synthesized in numerous tissues (including tumors) and secreted into most extracellular body fluids, such as plasma, uterine fluid, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, tears, seminal fluid, and milk.
Structure
Heterodimer of chain A and chain B held by a disulfide bond. Forms a heterodimer with SERPINA5. Binds to fibrin with high affinity. This interaction leads to an increase in the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme between 100-fold and 1000-fold, due to an increase in affinity for plasminogen. Similarly, binding to heparin increases the activation of plasminogen. Binds to annexin A2, cytokeratin-8, fibronectin and laminin. Binds to mannose receptor and the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP1); these proteins are involved in TPA clearance. Yet unidentified interactions on endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) lead to a 100-fold stimulation of plasminogen activation. In addition, binding to VSMC reduces TPA inhibition by PAI-1 by 30-fold. Binds LRP1B; binding is followed by internalization and degradation. In complex with SERPINE1, interacts with SORL1 (PubMed:15053742).
Post-translational modification
The single chain, almost fully active enzyme, can be further processed into a two-chain fully active form by a cleavage after Arg-310 catalyzed by plasmin, tissue kallikrein or factor Xa.; Differential cell-specific N-linked glycosylation gives rise to two glycoforms, type I (glycosylated at Asn-219) and type II (not glycosylated at Asn-219). The single chain type I glycoform is less readily converted into the two-chain form by plasmin, and the two-chain type I glycoform has a lower activity than the two-chain type II glycoform in the presence of fibrin.; N-glycosylation of Asn-152; the bound oligomannosidic glycan is involved in the interaction with the mannose receptor.; Characterization of O-linked glycan was studied in Bowes melanoma cell line.
