In contrast to almost all other proteinases, human tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is also proteolytically active in its zymogen or single-chain form. The closely related plasminogen activator isolated from vampire bat saliva (vPA) acts exclusively in the single-chain form, lacking the requisite cleavage site for proteolytic activation. Recent structural studies on the proteolytic domains of vPA and human tPA in two- and single-chain forms reveal the mechanism of this anomalous activity. The PA-catalyzed proteolytic conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, responsible for the initiation of fibrinolysis, is fibrin-dependent; comparative structural analysis of the plasminogen activators provides clues as to the role of fibrin as cofactor.
