The binding specificities of human urinary urokinase (EC 3.4.99.26) and HeLa cell plasminogen activator were studied using peptidyl chloromethyl ketone inhibitors. A 125I-labeled fibrin assay has been developed to yield kinetic information. Reagents of the sequence X-Gly-ArgCH2Cl were the most effective. The susceptibility of the HeLa cell plasminogen activator differed from that of urokinase in several respects indicating the utility of this type of inhibitor in distinguishing between proteases of this specificity.
