Abstract
Plasminogen activator (PGA), kininogenase (Kase) and benzoyl arginine ethyl ester (BAEe) activities generated in plasminogen-free rat plasma by incubation with acetone (23% v/v) at 22 degrees were purified. The activities passed unadsorbed through columns of DEAE-Sephadex A-50 (pH 7.8) and arginine methylester-Sepharose 4B (pH 8.5). Part of the activities (rat plasma kallikrein) was adsorbed onto a soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI)-Sepharose 4B column at pH 8.5. At pH 7.0 a fraction with higher ratios PGA/BAEe esterase and Kase/BAEe esterase was also adsorbed. Both fractions could be eluted with 5 mM sodium hydroxide. The fraction not adsorbed at pH 8.5, but adsorbed at pH 7.0 was designated low molecular weight plasminogen activator (LMr-PGA), a plasminogen activator fraction with higher molecular weight, but without esterase activity being also present (Berstad & Briseid 1982). LMr-PGA was strongly inhibited by tranexamic acid (AMCA) 0.10 mM, whereas the fraction designated rat plasma kallikrein was not. By polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis Mr-values in the range 120,000 to 130,000 were established for native samples of both rat plasma kallikrein and LMr-PGA, whereas Mr-values of 78,000 to 80,000 were established after treatment with SDS.
