Abstract
► Importance of kringle domains 4 and 5 in substrate plasminogen activation is shown. ► Selective kringle truncations show increase of nearly two orders of magnitude in catalysis. ► Kringle-swapping experiments were done between PG kringles and those of tPA and uPA. ► A subtle conformational trait in the substrate kringles appears to be decisive during catalysis by SK.HPN. ► This study reveals a novel, substrate-driven mechanism of action for streptokinase.
