An interesting structural similarity among several serpins is known to occur at the position corresponding to 355 in PAI-1.
Although avian and mammalian serpins are members of the same superfamily, they are evolutionarily distinct [ 38 ] . This divergence likely accounts for the species specificity of the PN-1 antibody.
Since a proline occurs not only in position 357 of PAI-1, but also in the corresponding position of several other serpins (Table 1) we attempted to find out how does a mutation of P357 affect the inhibitory activity of PAI-1.
While in PAI-1 this position accommodates a negatively charged aspartic acid residue, in other serpins it sometimes accommodates its non charged analog asparagine (Table 1).
Proteins, such as serine proteases and their inhibitors, could alter the quality of this highway and thus play critical roles in migratory processes [ 1 ] . Members of the serine protease inhibitor superfamily, or serpins, act by binding to and permanently inactivating their target protease(s).
