SERP-1 is a myxoma virus-encoded serpin, secreted from infected cells, that is required for virulence and has anti-inflammatory activity. We report that purified recombinant SERP-1 forms SDS-stable complexes with urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), plasmin, thrombin, and factor Xa, N-terminal sequencing confirmed Arg(319)-Asn(320) as the site of reaction. Mutation of these residues to Ala-Ala abolished inhibitory activity but had no effect on the specific cleavage at Thr(315)-Leu(316) Seen with elastase and with cathepsin G, Kinetic analysis of the reactions with uPA, tPA, plasmin, thrombin, Xa, and Cls showed second-order rate constants to vary over 3 logs, from k(inh) = 3 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) with thrombin to similar to 600 M(-1) s(-1) with Cls, while steady-state inhibition constants ranged from K(I) = 10 pM with thrombin to similar to 100 nM with C1s. Stoichiometries of inhibition varied between SI = 1.4 +/- 0.1 for uPA to SI = 13 +/- 3 for thrombin, Analysis of the variations in inhibition kinetics shows that when serpins act at ion: concentrations, comparable with the target protease or with K(I) (as appears likely for SERP-1 in vivo), inhibitory specificity becomes less dominated by It,, and is increasingly dependent on partitioning within the branched reaction mechanism and on the lifetime of the inhibited complex.
