The binding of human Glu- and Lys-plasminogens to intact fibrin clots, to lysine-Sepharose, and to fibrin cleaved by plasmin was quantitatively characterized. On intact fibrin clots, there was 1 strong binding site for Glu-plasminogen with Kd of 25 .mu.M and 1 strong binding site for Lys-plasminogen with a Kd of 7.9 .mu.M. In both cases, the number of plasminogen binding sites per fibrin monomer was 1. A much weaker binding site for Glu-plasminogen was observed with a Kd of NS 350 .mu.M. Limited digestion of fibrin by plasmin created additional binding sites for plasminogen with Kd values similar to the binding of plasminogen to lysine-Sepharose. This was predictable given that plasminogen binds to lysine-Sepharose and can be eluted with .epsilon.-aminocaproic acid and that plasmin preferentially cleaves fibrin at the carboxy side of lysyl residues, because the structures of the lysyl moiety in lysine-Sepharose and of .epsilon.-aminocaproic acid are identical with the structure of a COOH-terminal lysyl residue created by plasmin cleavage of fibrin. The Kd for the binding of Glu-plasminogen to lysine-Sepharose was 43 .mu.M and for fibrin partially cleaved by plasmin 48 .mu.M. The Kd for the binding of Lys-plasminogen to lysine-Sepharose was 30 .mu.M. With fibrin partially cleaved by plasmin, there were 2 types of binding sites for Lys-plasminogen, 1 with a Kd of 7.6 .mu.M and the other with a Kd of 44 .mu.M. Plasmin-created plasminogen binding sites may be physiologically relevant as a mechanism for accelerating clot destruction and because fragments of fibrin and other proteins created by plasmin cleavage at lysyl residues would be targeted for destruction anywhere in the circulatory system. Fibrin was a positive regulator of the activation of plasminogen by human urokinase. After a lag period, presumably due to impedance of diffusion by the dense, fibrous matrix of the clot, the rate of activation of Glu-plasminogen rapidly accelerated in the presence of fibrin, compared to in its absence or in the presence of fibrinogen.
