OP Dear wofahulicodoc: I saw an article about kringles in one of my magazines this afternoon, but have to admit I had trouble following the discussion. Here is something similar from Internet:
Abstract.. HGF/SF and HGFl/MSP define a novel growth factor family whose members share the domain structure and the proteolytic process of activation of the blood proteinase precursor plasminogen. The amino acid and RNA sequences of HGF/SF and HGFl/MSP, the intron-exon organization of their genes and the predicted 3D structure of individual domains indicate that HGF/SF and HGFl/MSP evolved along with plasminogen and other members of the kringle–serine proteinase (KSP) superfamily from an ancestral gene that contained a single copy of the kringle domain, a serine proteinase domain and anmactivation peptide connecting the two domains. A series of intragenic duplications of the kringle domain, gene duplications, exon shuffling and deletions is responsible for the genes currently present in mammals, avians and amphibians. Plasminogen, HGF/SF and HGFl/MSP represent paradigmatic examples of the modern, multi-domain proteins typically associated with vertebrate organisms and illustrate a novel evolutionary pathway that led to the emergence of molecules with growth regulatory activity from proteolytic enzymes.
There are also Danish pastries called "kringles". I would rather be involved with those than the stuff in the paragraph above, which I cheerfully admit is Greek to me.
