Figure 5.
FIG. 5. Model of KD1 with plasmin. Plasmin is shown with cyan ribbons, and KD1 is shown with yellow ribbons. A, KD1·plasmin hydrophobic interface. The hydrophobic patch in KD1 composed of Leu-17, Leu-18, Leu-19, and Leu-34 is shown interacting with a hydrophobic patch in plasmin consisting of Phe-37 {583}, Met-39 {585}, and Phe-41 {587}. B, Arg-20 and Tyr-46 of KD1 interactions with plasmin. As compared with interactions in the KD1·trypsin complex, Arg-20 of KD1 directly interacts with Glu-60 {606} of plasmin, and Tyr-46 of KD1 interacts with Lys-60A {607} and Arg-60D {610} in plasmin. C, Glu-39 of KD1 interactions with plasmin. Glu-39 of the acidic patch in KD1 interacts directly with Arg-175 {719} and possibly through water molecules to Arg-100 {644} and Arg-221 {767} of the basic patch in plasmin.
