Fibrinogen-NDSK complex is a model of protofibril having some features of the fibrin polymer structure. This complex has been studied for its ability to stimulate the plasminogen activation by t-PA. The fibrinogen-NDSK complex have increased the rate of plasminogen activation by t-PA as compared to fibrinogen or NDSK taken separately. This acceleration had slow and fast phases. Lys-plasminogen was activated more effectively as compared to glu-plasminogen. The kinetic parameters of glu- and lys-plasminogen activation at fast phase were: Km--0.18 and 0.015 mu/M, Kkat--0.27 and 0.06 s-1, respectively. Fibrinogen X2--fragments, deprived of alpha C-domains and NH2-end peptides of bB-chains, formed complexes with NDSK, which however did not stimulate the plasminogen activation by t-PA. These findings have shown that the fibrinogen-NDSK complex is an effective stimulator of the plasminogen activation by t-PA. The activating ability of the complex may be due to structures formed in the course of fibrinogen and NDSK polymerization as a result of alpha C-domain interaction.
