Synergy of protease-binding sites within the ecotin homodimer is crucial for inhibition of MASP enzymes and for blocking lectin pathway activation

Ecotin is a homodimeric serine protease inhibitor produced by many commensal and pathogenic microbes. It functions as a virulence factor, enabling survival of various pathogens in the blood. The ecotin dimer binds two protease molecules, and each ecotin protomer has two protease-binding sites: site1...
