The interaction of plasminogen activator-inhibitor (PAI-1) with a cell surface protease, guanidinobenzoatase (GB), has been studied in free solution and on the surface of colonic epithelial cells. It has been demonstrated that PAI-1 recognises and inhibits the iso enzymic form of GB associated with colonic carcinoma cells but fails to bind to the iso enzymic form of GB associated with normal donor colonic epithelial cells. This interaction is mediated by a lysyl binding site on the GB: complex formation prevents GB binding to fibrin fibrils which also involves lysyl binding sites.
