Kinetics of activation of TAFI variants by the IIa-TM complex. The
zymogens TAFI-WT (a), TAFI-K42/43/44A (b), TAFI-K133A
(c), TAFI-K211A (d), TAFI-K212A (e), TAFI-R220A
(f), TAFI-K240A (g), and TAFI-R275A (h), each at
various concentrations, were incubated with IIa (0.5 nm) and TM at
concentrations of 1.56 nm (•), 3.13 nm (○),
6.25 nm (▾), 12.5 nm (▿), 25 nm
(▪), and 50 nm (□). TAFIa formation rates (mol of TAFIa
formed/mol of thrombin/second) were calculated, and the complete data set was
fit globally to Equation 7 as
described previously (32). The
lines are best-fit regression lines.
