Abstract
We have investigated in detail the cleavage of human high molecular weight (HMW) kininogen by human plasma kallikrein and revealed the formation of a nicked kininogen and a novel kinin-free protein (KFP) as intermediate cleavage products. The cleavage of a single chain HMW kininogen (Mr=120,000) by plasma kallikrein was a three-step reaction. The first cleavage yielded a nicked kininogen composed of two disulfide-linked 62,000 and 56,000 daltons chains. The second cleavage yielded kinin and an intermediate kinin-free protein, KFP-I, which was apparently of equal size to the nicked kininogen. The third cleavage yielded a stable kinin-free protein, KFP-II, composed of two disulfide-linked 62,000 and 45,000 daltons chains. The liberation of an 8,000 daltons fragment was identified when the 56,000 daltons chain isolated by SP-Sephadex C-50 chromatography of reduced and alkylated KFP-I was cleaved by plasma kallikrein into the 45,000 daltons chain. Although the antiserum against HMW kininogen cross-reacted with low molecular weight (LMW) kininogen, the antiserum against the 45,000 daltons chain was specific for HMW kininogen. These results suggest that the antigenic determinant groups common to HMW and LMW kininogens are located in ...Continue Reading
