Highly purified plasminogen-activator inhibitors of type 1 (PAI-1) and type 2 (PAI-2), low-Mr form, were compared with respect to their kinetics of inhibition of tissue-type (t-PA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA). The time course of inhibition of plasminogen activator was studied under second-order or pseudo-first-order conditions. Residual enzyme activity was measured by the initial rate of hydrolysis of a chromogenic t-PA or u-PA substrate or by an immunosorbent assay for t-PA activity. PAI-1 rapidly reacted with single-chain t-PA as well as with two-chain forms of t-PA and u-PA. The second-order rate constant k for inhibition of single-chain t-PA (5.5 x 10(6) M-1 s-1) was about three times lower than k for inhibition of the two-chain activators. PAI-2 reacted slowly with single-chain t-PA, k = 4.6 x 10(3) M-1 s-1. The association rate was 26 times higher with two-chain t-PA and 435 times higher with two-chain u-PA. The k values for inhibition of single-chain t-PA, two-chain t-PA and two-chain u-PA were respectively, 1200, 150 and 8.5 times higher with PAI-1 than with PAI-2. The removal of the epidermal growth factor domain and the kringle domain from two-chain u-PA did not affect the kinetics of inhibition of the enzyme, suggesting that the C-terminal proteinase part of u-PA (B chain) is responsible for both the primary and the secondary interactions with PAI-1 and PAI-2. The k values for inhibition of single-chain t-PA and endogenous t-PA in plasma by PAI-1 or PAI-2 were identical indicating that t-PA in blood consists mainly in its single-chain form.
