Figure 5.
Figure 5. Stereo plot of the hypothetical docking complex of the catalytic domain (white connections) and kringle 2 (yellow connections; De Vos et al., 1992) in the covalent two-domain t-PA variant. The domains are superimposed with a blue (catalytic domain) and a green Connolly surface (kringle 2 domain). This view is approximately rotated 135° from the standard orientation around a horizontal axis, so that the active site is now pointing to the east/back. Charged side-chains of catalytic domain residues presumably involved in fibrin binding, and kringle 2 residues forming the lysine binding site are labeled (chymotrypsinogen and kringle nomenclature). The plot was made with MAIN (Turk, 1992).
