Abstract

The effect of arginine and fibrinogen Dh-fragment on fibrinogenolysis velocity under the action of Lys77-plasmine and its partially degraded forms was studied. The results obtained revealed the low affinity to arginine of so-called arginyl-binding sites of the catalytic chain compared with arginyl-binding sites of the enzyme non-catalytic chain. At the same time fibrinogen hydrolysis inhibition at Dh-fragment presence was shown to be determined by the site located in the catalytic chain of Lys77- or Lys530-plasmine. This effect was found to occur at the stage of both X-fragments formation and their destruction. The role of catalytic chain regulatory site at some stages of fibrinogenolysis is discussed.
