Supplementary information

Urokinase also known as urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease with a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues including the kidneys liver and blood vessels. Urokinase initially forms as pro-urokinase an inactive precursor that can convert into the active enzyme. Researchers often use assays like the direct assay to measure urokinase activity due to its role in breaking down fibrin and modulating cell adhesion and migration.
Biological function summary

Something particularly interesting about urokinase is its role in converting plasminogen to plasmin a critical enzyme in the process of fibrinolysis. Moreover it is part of a larger enzymatic complex involving the urokinase receptor (uPAR) which localizes plasminogen activation to cell surfaces. This complex mediates extracellular matrix degradation aiding in important cellular processes like tissue remodeling and wound healing.

Pathways

Urokinase plays a critical role in the fibrinolytic pathway which involves the breakdown of blood clots. It also interacts with the extracellular matrix pathway by activating plasminogen which can degrade matrix components. In these pathways urokinase closely interacts with proteins such as plasmin and its inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) which regulate the activity and localization of proteolytic events.

Urokinase is strongly linked to conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and cancer metastasis. Its overexpression or dysregulation often leads to excessive tissue degradation influencing metastasis progression. Urokinase is connected to the urokinase receptor (uPAR) in cancer facilitating cancer cell invasion and migration. Understanding its behavior in these contexts is critical for developing therapeutic strategies and targeting treatments against these diseases.

General info

Function

Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylation of Ser-158 and Ser-323 abolishes proadhesive ability but does not interfere with receptor binding.. Produced as an inactive single-chain protein (pro-uPA or sc-uPA), is processed into the active disulfide-linked two-chain form of PLAU/uPA by a proteolytic event mediated, at least, by TMPRSS4.
