20120058537 | CHIMERIC TRUNCATED AND MUTANT VARIANT OF TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR (T-PA) RESISTANT TO PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR INHIBITOR-1 - The various embodiments herein provide a chimeric truncated and mutant variant of a tissue plasminogen activator (t-pa) and a method for preparing the same. According to an embodiment herein, the mutant variant comprises a signal sequence domain, followed by a chimeric tetrapeptide, followed by a tripeptide, followed by a kringle 2 domain, followed by a serine protease domain and a substituted amino acids at position 128-131. The substituted amino acids are AAAA (SEQ ID NO: 3) amino acids. The chimeric tetrapeptide is Gly-His-Arg-Pro (SEQ ID NO: 1). The chimeric tetrapeptide is at a position of 36 to 39 amino acid of the mutant variant. The tripeptide is Ser-Tyr-Glu. According to an embodiment herein, a chimeric truncated and mutant variant of a tissue plasminogen activator comprises a native t-pa deleted with Finger domain, a Growth Factor domain and a Kringle 1 domain, a chimeric tetrapeptide and a substituted amino acids at a position of 128-131. | 03-08-2012 |
