1 These findings indicate that residues in the bait region appear to be necessary for noncovalent association of 360-kDa disulfide-linked dimers to give tetrameric alpha 2M and suggest a role for the bait region in normal alpha 2M in coupling bait region cleavage to the sequence of conformational changes that result in thiol ester activation and ultimately proteinase trapping.
