RESUMEN
The annexin A2-S100A10 heterotetramer (AIIt) is a multifunctional Ca(2+)-dependent, phospholipid-binding, and F-actin-binding phosphoprotein composed of two annexin A2 subunits and two S100A10 subunits. It was reported previously that oxidative stress from exogenous hydrogen peroxide or generated in response to tumor necrosis factor-alpha results in the glutathionylation of Cys(8) of annexin A2. In this study, we demonstrate that AIIt is an oxidatively labile protein whose level of activity is regulated by the redox status of its sulfhydryl groups. Oxidation of AIIt by diamide resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent loss of the ability of AIIt to interact with phospholipid liposomes and F-actin. The inhibitory effect of diamide on the activity of AIIt was partially reversed by dithiothreitol. In addition, incubation of AIIt with diamide and GSH resulted in the glutathionylation of AIIt in vitro. Mass spectrometry established the incorporation of 2 mol of GSH/mol of annexin A2 subunit at Cys(8) and Cys(132). Glutathionylation potentiated the inhibitory effects of diamide on the activity of AIIt. Furthermore, AIIt could be deglutathionylated by glutaredoxin (thiol transferase). Thus, we show for the first time that AIIt can undergo functional reactivation by glutaredoxin, therefore establishing that AIIt is regulated by reversible glutathionylation.

The Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid-binding protein annexin II heterotetramer (AIIt) is composed of two copies of annexin II and a p11 dimer. The interaction of the carboxyl-terminal lysine residues of the p11 subunit of AIIt with the lysine-binding kringle domains of plasminogen is believed to play a key role in plasminogen binding and stimulation of the tPA-catalyzed cleavage of plasminogen to plasmin. In the current report, we show that AIIt-stimulated plasminogen activation is regulated by basic carboxypeptidases, in vitro. The incubation of AIIt with a 1/400 molar ratio of carboxypeptidase B for periods as short as 2 min resulted in a significant loss in AIIt-stimulated plasminogen activation. Carboxypeptidase B (CpB) as well as thrombin-activated fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa) and carboxypeptidase N (CpN) rapidly reduced AIIt-stimulated plasminogen activation by 80%. The molar ratio of carboxypeptidase/AIIt for half-maximal inhibition of AIIt was 1/4700, 1/700, and 1/500 for CpB, TAFIa, and CpN, respectively. Treatment of AIIt with carboxypeptidase resulted in loss of both carboxyl-terminal lysine residues from the p11 subunit, which correlated with a decrease in the k(cat) and an increase in the K(m) for plasminogen activation. The data reveal a novel mechanism for the regulation of AIIt-stimulated plasminogen activation.

Annexin II heterotetramer (AIIt) is a Ca(2+)- and phospholipid-binding protein that consists of two copies of a p36 and p11 subunit. AIIt regulates the production and autoproteolysis of plasmin at the cell surface. In addition to its role as a key cellular protease, plasmin also plays a role in angiogenesis as the precursor for antiangiogenic proteins. Recently we demonstrated that the primary antiangiogenic plasmin fragment, called A(61) (Lys(78)-Lys(468)) was released from cultured cells. In the present study we report for the first time that AIIt possesses an intrinsic plasmin reductase activity. AIIt stimulated the reduction of the plasmin Cys(462)-Cys(541) bond in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, which resulted in the release of A(61) from plasmin. Mutagenesis of p36 C334S and either p11 C61S or p11 C82S inactivated the plasmin reductase activity of the isolated subunits, suggesting that specific cysteinyl residues participated in the plasmin reductase activity of each subunit. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the loss of AIIt from the cell surface of HT1080 cells transduced with a retroviral vector encoding p11 antisense dramatically reduced the cellular production of A(61) from plasminogen. This is the first demonstration that AIIt regulates the cellular production of the antiangiogenic plasminogen fragment, A(61).
