"The serine protease inhibitor (serpin) protein C inhibitor (PCI; also named plasminogen activator inhibitor-3) regulates serine proteases in hemostasis, fibrinolysis, and reproduction. The biochemical activity of PCI is not fully defined partly due to the lack of a convenient expression system for active rPCI. Using pET-15b plasmid, Ni2+-chelate and heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography steps, we describe here the expression, purification and characterization of wild-type recombinant (wt-rPCI) and two inactive mutants, R354A (P1 residue) and T341R...
