    Abstract:
    Using affinity chromatography, the binding of Lys-plasminogen to fibrinogen, fibrin and the consecutively formed products of their proteolysis was studied. The optimal conditions for this binding were elaborated, and the quantitative parameters of Lys-plasminogen binding to fibrinogen-Sepharose were determined. It was found that the interaction of Lys-plasminogen with fibrinogen- and fibrin-Sepharose is provided for by the lysine-binding sites of the proenzyme molecule. After partial hydrolysis of fibrinogen by plasmin, the amount of adsorbed plasminogen increases and the type of binding changes; part of the proenzyme molecules bind in the presence of 0.003 M 6-aminohexanoic acid, i.e., when lysine-binding sites appear to be blocked. A comparative study of plasminogen binding to fibrinogen fragments was carried out. The resistance of the complexes formed to the effect of 6-aminohexanoic acid and arginine competing for the binding sites was determined. The data obtained testify to the appearance of additional plasminogen-binding sites in the fibrinogen molecule during proteolysis. These sites are complementary for both lysine-and arginine-binding sites of the plasminogen molecule and are localized in the peripheral domains of the fibrinogen molecule.
