[Effect of peptides--structural analogs of NH2-terminal sites of fibrin alpha- and beta-chains--on specific binding of the NH2-terminal disulfide bond of fibrin with fibrinogen].

Peptides Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro and Gly-His-Arg-Pro (fibrin alpha- and beta-chain NH2-terminal analogs, respectively) are studied for their effect on fibrinogen (F) and fibrin NH2-terminal disulphide knot (N-DSK) specific binding. Both peptides are found to inhibit the formation of soluble and insoluble F-N-DSK-complexes through inhibition of the interdomain D-E-binding. Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro is much more potent inhibitor than Gly-His-Arg-Pro. Lowering the insoluble F-N-DSK-copolymer quantity by concentration-dependent way these peptides do not change its composition described by the formula [F(N-DSK)2]n. Invariability of fibrinogen and N-DSK copolymer structure is asserted. In this structure neighbouring fibrinogen molecules are bound by two N-DSK molecules via the D1-E1 and D2-E2 binding sites.

Soluble fibrin-fibrinogen complexes as intermediates in fibrin gel formation.

Oligomer formation in fibrinogen solutions following addition of thrombin was studied by addition of thrombin inhibitor at various times subsequent to thrombin, followed by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) on a high-performance SEC column capable of resolving species of molecular weights less than or equal to 10(6). Peaks corresponding to species with 1, 2, 3, and 4 or more times the molecular weight of fibrinogen were detected and quantified via nonlinear least-squares curve-fitting procedures. The evolution of each of these peaks with time is well accounted for by a kinetic model in which the predominant component of each oligomeric molecular weight species is a linear complex of fibrinogen and fibrin. The observed predominance of trimeric over dimeric oligomers even at short times suggests that the thrombin-catalyzed release of the two A fibrinopeptides from a single molecule of fibrinogen is highly cooperative.
