Hyaluronan-Binding Protein 2 (HABP2) is a Ca2+-dependent serine protease with putative roles in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. A G221E substitution, known as the Marburg-I polymorphism, reportedly affects HABP2 function and has been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. However, the importance of Gly-221 for HABP2 activity is unclear. Here, we used G221E, G221A, and G221S mutants to assess the role of Gly-221 in HABP2 catalysis. The G221E variant failed to activate single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scuPA), and the G221A and G221S variants displayed moderately reduced scuPA-activation. Activity toward the peptide substrate S-2288 was markedly decreased in all HABP2 variants, with G221E being the most defective and G221A the least. In the absence of Ca2+, S-2288 cleavage by wild-type HABP2 was Na+-dependent, with Km decreasing from 3.0 to 0.6 mM upon titration from 0 to 0.3 M Na+. In the presence of 5 mM Ca2+, Km was further reduced to 0.05 mM, but without appreciable contribution of Na+. At physiological concentrations of Na+ and Ca2+, the three HABP2 variants, and particularly G221E, displayed a major Km increase for S-2288. Chemical footprinting revealed that Ile-16 is significantly less protected from chemical modification in G221E than in wild-type HABP2, suggesting impaired insertion of the N-terminus into the G221E protease domain, with a concomitant impact on catalytic activity. Homology modeling suggested that the Glu-221 side chain could sterically hinder insertion of the N-terminus into the HABP2 protease domain, helping to explain the detrimental effects of Glu-221 substitution on HABP2 activity.
