The applicability of 4-methylumbelliferyl-p-guanidinobenzoate hydrochloride (MUGB) as active-site titrant for tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) was studied in comparison to urokinase. Although t-PA was capable of cleaving MUGB, active-site titration of t-PA (one-chain form as well as two-chain form) with MUGB was not possible, whereas MUGB titration of urokinase could be performed. We therefore studied the kinetics of the interaction of these two plasminogen activators with MUGB. The equilibrium dissociation constant, Ks, for the interaction between MUGB and urokinase was 2.9 · 10−6 M, and for the interaction with t-PA 3.13 · 10−5 M. However, one main requirement for active-site titration, namely a stable acyl enzyme intermediate (ES'), was only fulfilled for MUGB urokinase but not for MUGB t-PA. Whereas for the reaction of MUGB and urokinase the first-order acylation rate constant k2 was found to be about 106-times higher than the first-order deacylation rate constant k3 (k2 = 3.76 · 10−1s−1, k3 = 3.7 · 10−7s−1), the k2/k3 ratio for the reaction of MUGB and t-PA (one- and two-chain form) was 0.77 to 3.85. Therefore, urokinase and t-PA differ in their reaction with this fluorogenic substrate and MUGB cannot be used for active-site titration of tPA.
