Identification of fibronectin type I domains as amyloid-binding modules on tissue-type plasminogen activator and three homologs.

Maas C, Schiks B, Strangi RD, Hackeng TM, Bouma BN, Gebbink MF, Bouma B

The serine protease tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), a key enzyme in hemostasis, is activated by protein aggregates with amyloid-like properties. tPA is implicated in various pathologies, including amyloidoses. A major task is to further elucidate the mechanisms of amyloid pathology. We here show that the fibronectin type I domain of tPA mediates the interaction with amyloid protein aggregates. We found ...
