Contribution of Streptokinase-Domains from Groups G and A (SK2a) Streptococci in Amidolytic /Proteolytic Activities and Fibrin-Dependent Plasminogen Activation: A Domain-Exchange Study

Background: SK, a heterogeneous PA protein from groups A, C, and G streptococci (GAS, GCS, GGS, respectively) contains three structural domains (SKα, SKβ, and SK). Based on the variable region of SKβ, GAS-SKs (ska) are clustered as SK1 and SK2 (including SK2a/SK2b), which show low and high FG-depen...
