Multifunctional proteins, e.g. high molecular weight kininogen (HK, 120 kDa) and the homotrimer, thrombospondin (TSP, 540 kDa), which have more than one domain on a single polypeptide chain, are particularly well-suited to be structural elements of extracellular matrices because of their ability to bind to several macromolecules. We now demonstrate that 125I-high molecular weight kininogen (HKa) cleaved by purified kallikrein forms a complex with purified intact platelet TSP (540 kDa). HK also complexed with a proteolytic fragment (450 kDa) of TSP, lacking its three identical heparin-binding domains (HBD, 30 kDa), but failed to bind to a more extensively proteolysed molecule (210 kDa) lacking the C-terminal globular domain indicating that the binding on TSP-450 kDa is confined to the C-terminus. The binding of HK to intact TSP and to its 450 kDa fragment was of high affinity (Kd = 17-52 nM), specific, concentration dependent and saturable. Furthermore, we found both forms of the light chain (LC) of HK (56 and 46 kDa) resulting from cleavage by plasma kallikrein bound to both intact TSP and HBD independent of the presence of calcium ions. However, neither the epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody (MAb) C11C1 on domain 5 nor the prekallikrein binding site on domain 6 are involved, suggesting that the intervening proline-rich region may be the site of interaction. The heavy chain (HC) of HK required ionized calcium to bind to intact TSP or its 450 kDa homotrimer fragment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
D007704 Kininogens Endogenous peptides present in most body fluids. Certain enzymes convert them to active KININS which are involved in inflammation, blood clotting, complement reactions, etc. Kininogens belong to the cystatin superfamily. They are cysteine proteinase inhibitors. HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (HMWK); is split by plasma kallikrein to produce BRADYKININ. LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (LMWK); is split by tissue kallikrein to produce KALLIDIN. Cystatins, Kininogen,Kininogen,Prekinins,Prokinins,T-Kininogen,Thiostatin,Kininogen Cystatins,T Kininogen

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
