Reactive sites of adzuki bean proteinase inhibitor II were determined by limited hydrolyses with catalytic amounts of trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] and chymotrypsin [EC 3.4.21.1] at pH 3.0. Treatment of the trypsin-modified inhibitor with carboxypeptidase B [EC 3.4.12.3] released lysine from the inhibitor and led to complete loss of the activity for trypsin, virtually, without affecting the chymotrypsin-inhibitory activity. Limited hydrolysis with chymotrypsin resulted in a selective cleavage of a single tyrosyi peptide bond in the inhibitor, and treatment of this modified inhibitor with carboxypeptidase A [EC 3.4.12.2] abolished the chymotrypsininhibitory activity, having no effect on the trypsin-inhibitory activity. After reduction and S-carboxymethylation, the trypsin- and the chymotrypsin-modified inhibitors both could be separated into two components by gel-filtration on Sephadex G–50 and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Amino acid and end group analyses of these components indicated that the reactive sites of inhibitor II are the Lys27-Ser28 bond against trypsin and the Tyr54-Ser55 against chymotrypsin.

Chemical modification of inhibitor II with cyanogen bromide had a fatal effect on the inhibitory activity against trypsin but no effect against chymotrypsin.  相似文献

Trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] modified (reactive site cleaved) Vicia angustifolia proteinase inhibitor was prepared at pH 3 with a catalytic amount of trypsin and purified using columns of Sephadex G-50 and DEAE-Sephadex A-25. The modified inhibitor, which still retained antitryptic activity, lost its activity upon treatment with carboxypeptidase B or citraconic anhydride. End-group analyses revealed that the carboxyl-terminal Arg and the amino-terminal Ser residues were newly exposed end-groups in the modified inhibitor. It takes a much longer incubation time (about 1 h) to exhibit the maximal inhibitory activity against trypsin. Reduction and carboxymethylation of the modified inhibitor produced two fragments on Sephadex G-50 chromatography. The smaller fragment consisted of about 32 amino acid residues and possessed a new carboxyl-terminal Arg residue. The larger fragment consisted of about 80 residues and possessed a Ser residue at its amino-terminus. These results indicate that the small fragment was derived from the amino-terminal portion of the modified inhibitor and the large fragment from the carboxyl-terminal. It is also concluded that an Arg-Ser bond is the reactive site as well as the inhibitory site of the V. angustifolia inhibitor against trypsin. The sequence around the antitryptic site exhibits high degrees of homology with other double-headed inhibitors of legume origin, such as the Bowman-Birk inhibitor, lima beam inhibitor, and the major inhibitor in chick-peas.  相似文献

The Vicia angustifolia proteinase inhibitor was incubated with p-toluenesulfonyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone-trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) and a main product was isolated. The purified product was different to the first trypsin-modified V. angustifolia inhibitor. The C-terminal residues of the new derivative were arginine, which was also the C-terminal of the cleaved antitryptic site; lysine was a newly exposed C-terminal. These results suggest that the new derivative lacks the C-terminal portion of the native inhibitor, which has asparagine at its C-terminus. The liberated C-terminal peptide had the following amino acid sequence: H-Glu-Glu-Val-Ile-Lys-Asn-OH. The derivative lacking the C-terminal hexapeptide still possesses inhibitory activities against trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1), however, its antichymotryptic activity was inactivated by incubation with chymotrypsin at pH 8.0.  相似文献

1. The reactivities of phenylglyoxal (PGO), glyoxal (GO), and/or methylglyoxal (MGO) with several proteins, including ribonuclease A [EC 3.1.4.22] and its derivatives, alpha-chymotrypsin [EC 3.4.21.1], trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4], lysozyme [EC 3.2.1.17], pepsin [EC 3.4.23.1], rennin [EC 3.4.23.4], thermolysin, and insulin and its B chain, have been examined. From analyses of the reaction products, PGO was shown to be the most specific for arginine residues. GO and MGO also reacted rapidly with arginine residues, but they also reacted with lysine residues to a significant extent. A side reaction with N-terminal alpha-amino groups was observed with each of these reagents. 2. Two arginine residues out of four in ribonuclease A, two out of three in alpha-chymotrypsin, one out of two in trypsin, one out of two in pepsin, and one out of five in rennin appeared to react with PGO fairly rapidly, indicating a difference in the relative accessibility of these residues by the reagent. Extensive modification of the arginine residues by PGO occurred with RCM-derivatives of ribonuclease A and insulin B chain. The N-terminal isoleucine residues of alpha-chymotrypsin and trypsin appeared to be unreactive with PGO because of salt bridge formation with an aspartyl residue. The activity of alpha-chymotrypsin toward N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester and the lytic activity of lysozyme were lost rapidly on treatment with PGO, as in the case of ribonuclease A. Pepsin and rennin were only partially inactivated by reaction with PGO.  相似文献

A previously characterized modification of the basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), with the carbonyl carbon atom of Lys-15 selectively enriched in 13C, the peptide bond Arg-39--Ala-40 cleaved, and Arg-39 removed, was used for 13C NMR studies of the reactive site peptide bond Lys-15--Ala-16 in the complexes with trypsin, trypsinogen, and anhydrotrypsin. The chemical shift of [1-13C]Lys-15 was 175.7 ppm in the free inhibitor, 176.4 ppm in the complexes with trypsin and anhydrotrypsin and the ternary complex with trypsinogen and H-Ile-Val-OH, and 175.7 ppm in a neutral solution containing the inhibitor and trypsinogen. These data show that the trypsin--BPTI complex does not contain a covalent tetrahedral carbon atom in the position of the reactive site peptide carbonyl of the inhibitor. They would be consistent with the formation of a noncovalent complex but cannot at present be used to further characterize the degree of a possible pyramidalization of the carbonyl carbon of Lys-15 in such a complex. The identical chemical shifts in the complexes with trypsin and anhydrotrypsin indicate that the gamma-hydroxyl group of Ser-195 of trypsin does not have an important role in the binding of the inhibitor. The previously described [Perkins, S. J. & Wüthrich, K. (1980) J. Mol. Biol. 138, 43--64] stepwise transition from the trypsinogen conformation to an intermediate conformational state in the trypsinogen--BPTI complex and a trypsin-like conformation in the ternary complex trypsinogen--BPTI--H-Ile-Val-OH appears to be manifested also in the chemical shift of [1-13C]Lys-15 of labeled BPTI.  相似文献

The reactive-site sequence of a proteinase inhibitor can be written as . . . -P3-P2-P1-P'1-P'2-P'3- . . . , where-P1-P'1-denotes the reactive site. Three semisynthetic homologues have been synthesized of the bovine trypsin-kallikrein inhibitor (Kunitz) with either arginine, phenylalanine or tryptophan in place of the reactive-site residue P1, lysine-15. These homologues correspond to gene products after mutation of the lysine 15 DNA codon to an arginine, phenylalanine or tryptophan DNA codon. Starting from native (virgin) inhibitor, reactive-site hydrolyzed, still active (modified) inhibitor was prepared by chemical and enzymic reactions. Modified inhibitor was then converted into inactive des-Lys15-inhibitor by reaction with carboxypeptidase B. Inactive des-Lys15-inhibitor was reactivated by enzymic replacement of the P1 residue according to Leary and Laskowski, Jr. The introduction of arginine was catalyzed by an inverse reaction with carboxypeptidase B, while phenylalanine or tryptophan were replaced by carboxypeptidase A. The reactivated semisynthetic inhibitors were trapped by complex formation with either trypsin or chymotrypsin. The enzyme - inhibitor complexes were subjected to kinetic-control dissociation, and the semisynthetic virgin inhibitors were isolated. The inhibitory properties of the semisynthetic inhibitors have been investigated against bovine trypsin and chymotrypsin and against porcine pancreatic kallikrein and plasmin. The homologues with either lysine or arginine in the P1 position are equally good inhibitors of trypsin, plasmin and kallikrein. The Arg-15-homologue is a slightly more effective kallikrein inhibitor than the Lys15-inhibitor. The semisynthetic phenylalanine and tryptophan homologues, however, are weak inhibitors of trypsin and still weaker inhibitors of kallikrein, but are excellent inhibitors of chymotrypsin. Their association constant with chymotrypsin is at least ten times higher than that of native Lys-15-inhibitor. A dramatic specificity change is observed with the phenylalanine and tryptophan homologues, which in contrast to the native inhibitor do not at all inhibit porcine plasmin. Thus, the nature of the P1 residue strongly influences the primary inhibitory specificity of the bovine inhibitor (Kunitz).  相似文献

All the reactive amino groups in soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) were protected by guanidination of 9 out of 10 lysyl residues with O-methylisourea and by carbamoylation of the NH2 terminal Asp with potassium cyanate. This derivative was converted to modified inhibitor (Arg63-Ile64 reactive site peptide bond hydrolyzed) by incubation with trypsin at pH 3. The NH2 terminal of Ile64 was allowed to react with phenyl isothiocyanate to produce inactive phenylthiocarbamoyl-modified inhibitor. Treatment with trifluoroacetic acid formed the anilinothiazolinone of Ile64 yielding des-Ile64-modified inhibitor. After renaturation and purification, this material coelectrophoresed with modified inhibitor but did not form a stable complex with trypsin. Incubation with tert-butyloxycarbonyl-(amino acid)-N-hydroxysuccinimide esters yielded [tert-butyloxycarbonyl-(amino acid64)]-modified inhibitor. The tert-butyloxycarbonyl protective group was removed in trifluoroacetic acid. After renaturation, active [amino acid64]-modified inhibitors were obtained for Ile64, Ala64, Leu64, and Gly64 replacements. The resynthesis of the reactive-site peptide bound by kinetic control dissociation of the trypsin-inhibitor complex yielded fully active [Ala64]-virgin inhibitor. Thus, soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) has been shown to tolerate the replacement of the P1' residue with retention of activity. The importance of P1' residues in the function of protein proteinase inhibitors is discussed.  相似文献

With the use of an enzymatic replacement method, 90%-enriched [1-13C]lysine was introduced into the reactive site of the basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. Characterization of the labelled inhibitor with 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 1H NMR and chemical methods showed that while the reactive-site peptide bond Lys-15--Ala-16 was properly resynthesized, the polypeptide chain was cleaved at the peptide bond Arg-39--Ala-40 and Arg-39 was removed. Detailed 1H NMR studies showed further that, with the exception of the immediate environment of the modification site, the average spatial structure of the native inhibitor was preserved in the modified protein. Compared to the native inhibitor, the thermal stability of the globular conformation was found to be reduced, interior amide protons exchanged at a faster rate and the internal mobility of aromatic rings located outside the immediate environment of the cleaved peptide bond was essentially unchanged. These observations coincide closely with previous reports on different modifications of the inhibitor and can be explained by a recently proposed dynamic multi-state model for globular proteins. Since the fundamental structural properties of the native inhibitor and full inhibitory activity are preserved after resynthesis, the [1-13C]lys-15-labelled inhibitor with the peptide bond Arg-39--Ala-40 cleaved and Arg-39 removed should be suitable for 13C NMR studies of mechanistic aspects of proteinase-inhibitor interactions.  相似文献

Amino acid analysis and chemical modification of the crystalline quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.19) from hog liver were performed. The enzyme contained 29 residues of half cystine per mol. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents. The number of reactive (exposed) sulfhydryl group was determined to be 10.2 and total sulfhydryl group was to be 25.2 per mol by using 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). The enzyme activity was also inhibited by lysine residue-, histidine residue-, and arginine residue-modifying reagents. These results and the effect of preincubation with the substrates on chemical modifications suggest that the lysine residue, histidine residue and sulfhydryl group may be closely related to the binding site of quinolinic acid.  相似文献

A low molecular weight active fragment of potato proteinase inhibitor IIPB was obtained by incubating the inhibitor with an equimolar amount of trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] at pH 8 and 30 degrees for 16 hr, followed by gel filtration through Sephadex G-50, treatment with trichloroacetic acid, and CM-cellulose chromatography. The purified active fragment consisted of a single peptide chain with a molecular weight of 4,300, comprising 39 amino acid residues. It retained very strong inhibitory activity against chymotrypsin [EC 3.4.21.1] and subtilisin [EC 3.4.21.14]. However, the yield of this active fragment was rather low and was variable. On further incubation with trypsin, it was converted into smaller inactive peptides.  相似文献

The anti-tryptic fragment, derived from adzuki-bean proteinase inhibitor II, was subjected to limited proteolysis by trypsin at pH 2.9 for 48 h. Three peptide bonds, Lys-Ser, Arg-Cys and Arg-Asp, were split, inactivating the fragment. The temporary site, the point of inactivation against trypsin, was concluded to be Arg-Cys, since the Lys-Ser bond is the reactive site and the tripeptide (Asp)3′ released by the cleavage of the Arg-Asp bond, should not affect the inhibitory activity. This effective bond, corresponding to Arg32-Cys33 of inhibitor II, was possibly more exposed to the enviromental solvent by cuting down the anti-chymotryptic domain from the parent inhibitor.  相似文献

In order to obtain information on the nature of the amino acid residues involved in the activity of ribonuclease U1 [EC 3.1.4.8], various chemical modifications of the enzyme were carried out. RNase U1 was inactivated by reaction with iodoacetate at pH 5.5 with concomitant incorporation of 1 carboxymethyl group per molecule of the enzyme. The residue specifically modified by iodoacetate was identified as one of the glutamic acid residues, as in the case of RNase T1. The enzyme was also inactivated extensively by reaction with iodoacetamide at pH 8.0 with the loss of about one residue each of histidine and lysine. When RNase U1 was treated with a large excess of phenylglyoxal, the enzymatic activity and binding ability toward 3'-GMP were lost, with simultaneous modification of about 1 residue of arginine. The reaction of citraconic anhydride with RNase U1 led to the loss of enzymatic activity and modification of about 1 residue of lysine. The inactivated enzyme, however, retained binding ability toward 3'-GMP. These results indicate that there are marked similarities in the active sites of RNases T1 and U1.  相似文献

A protein inhibitor (CMTI-V; Mr 7106) of trypsin and activated Hageman factor (Factor XIIa), a serine protease involved in blood coagulation, has been isolated for the first time from pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) seeds by means of trypsin-affinity chromatography and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The dissociation constants of the inhibitor complexes with trypsin and Factor XIIa have been determined to be 1.6 x 10(-8) and 4.1 x 10(-8) M, respectively. The primary structure of CMTI-V is reported. The protein has 68 amino acid residues and one disulfide bridge and shows a high level of sequence homology to the Potato I inhibitor family. Furthermore, its amino terminus consists of an N-acetylates Ser. The reactive site has been established to be the peptide bond between Lys44-Asp45. The modified inhibitor which has the reactive site peptide bond hydrolyzed inhibits trypsin but not the Hageman factor.  相似文献

The complete amino acid sequence of an active fragment of potato proteinase inhibitor IIa has been established by the Edman degradation procedure and the carboxypeptidase technique. Sequence analyses were carried out on the reduced and carboxymethylated active fragment and its tryptic peptides. To aid in the alignment of some tryptic peptides, the partial sequences of two fragments obtained by selective tryptic cleavage of the reactive site peptide bond of inhibitor IIa at acidic pH, with subsequent reduction and carboxymethylation, were also analyzed. The active fragment consisted of 45 amino acid residues including 6 half-cystine residues. Degradation of the intact active fragment by subtilisin [EC 3.4.21.14.] at pH 6.5. yielded 3 cystine-containing peptides. Sequence analyses of these peptides revealed that the 3 disulfide linkages were located between Cys(10) and Cys(24), Cys(14) and Cys(35), and Cys(20) and Cys(43). The reactive site peptide bond of inhibitor IIa, a Lys-Ser bond, was located between positions 32 and 33 of the active fragment. The overall sequence of the active fragment was quite different from those of potato chymotrypsin inhibitor I (subunit A) and potato carboxypeptidase inhibitor.  相似文献

A trypsin inhibitor was extracted from the kale seeds with 0.01 M-HCl, precipitated with ammonium sulphate, and purified by affinity chromatography on immobilized trypsin and ion-exchange chromatography on QAE-Sephadex A-25. The inhibitor, of Mr 8 000, is composed of 64 amino acid residues and contains neither threonine nor methionine. Its isoelectric point is 8.9. In addition to trypsin, the inhibitor acts on subtilopeptidase A and shows a very weak antichymotrypsin activity. The factors modifying the arginine residues inactivate the inhibitor. A modified form of the inhibitor (with a broken reactive site peptide bond) has been isolated in pure form, and its properties were compared with those of the virgin form.  相似文献

A trypsin inhibitor from Dimorphandra mollis seeds was isolated to apparent homogeneity by a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, ion-exchange and affinity chromatographic techniques. SDS-PAGE analysis gave an apparent molecular weight of 20 kDa, and isoelectric focusing analysis demonstrated the presence of three isoforms. The partial N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified protein showed a high degree of homology with various members of the Kunitz family of inhibitors. This inhibitor, which inhibited trypsin activity with a Ki of 5.3 x 10(-10) M, is formed by a single polypeptide chain with an arginine residue in the reactive site.  相似文献

Three trypsin inhibitor fractions were found in white bush fruits (Cucurbita pepo L. var. patissonina). One of them, CPPTI-fIII, was purified to homogeneity by means of affinity and ion exchange chromatography. It is a cysteine-poor protein with an approximate Mr of 21 000. The inhibitor contains arginine at position P1 of the reactive site and inhibits bovine trypsin, hog pancreatic kallikrein and subtilisin. This inhibitor differs from the inhibitors of white bush dormant seeds, CPPTI-I and CPPTI-II, in its amino-acid composition, molecular mass, amino-acid residue at position P1 of the reactive site and inhibition spectrum.  相似文献

1. When ribonuclease T1 [EC 3.1.4.8] was treated with trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] at pH 7.5 and 37 degrees, activity was lost fairly slowly. At higher temperatures, however, the rate of inactivation was markedly accelerated. The half life of the activity was about 2.5 h at 50 degrees and 1 h at 60 degrees. 3'-GMP and guanosine protected the enzyme significantly from tryptic inactivation. 2. Upon tryptic digestion at 50 degrees, the Lys-Tyr (41-42) and Arg-Val (77-78) bonds were cleaved fairly specifically, yielding two peptide fragments. One was a 36 residue peptide comprizing residues 42 to 77. The other was a 68 residue peptide composed of two peptide chains cross-linked by a disulfide bond between half-cystines -6 and -103, comprizing residues 1 to 41 and 78 to 104. 3. When the trinitrophenylated enzyme, in which the alpha-amino group of alanine-1 and the episolone-amino group of lysine 41 were selectively modified, was treated with trypsin at 37 degrees, the activity was lost fairly rapidly with a half life of about 4 h. In this case, tryptic hydrolysis occurred fairly selectively at the single Arg-Val bond. Thus the enzyme could be inactivated by cleavage of a single peptide bond in the molecule, an indication of the importance of the peptide region involving the single arginine residue at position 77 in the activity of ribonuclease T1.  相似文献

Specific protein inhibitors of microbial serine proteinases were isolated from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.) and triticale using affinity chromatography on subtilisin-Sepharose 4B. The wheat inhibitor had an isoelectric point (pI) at pH 7.2, while the rye inhibitor consisted of two forms with pI values of 6.8 and 7.1. In triticale, two components were present with pIs 7.2 and 6.8. All the inhibitors had M r values of approx. 20 000. The isolated proteins were effective inhibitors of subtilisins Carlsberg and BPN, and of fungal proteinases (EC 3.4.21.14) from the genus Aspergillus, but they were completely inactive against trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1) and pancreatic elastase (EC 3.4.21.36). The inhibitors formed complexes with subtilisin in a molar ratio of 1:1. The results of chemical modifications seem to indicate that the isolated inhibitors have methionine residues in their reactive sites.Abbreviation pI isoelectric point  相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of protein proteinase inhibitor homologues with variations in the amino acid composition in the vicinity of the reactive site should aid the understanding of the mechanism by which inhibition of enzymatic activity occurs. A homologue inhibitor in which the reactive-site residue Ala-16 of basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) (BPTI) is replaced by Phe has been synthesized to study the effect of this replacement on the dissociation constants of the enzyme-inhibitor complexes. The replacement of Ala-16 by Phe causes a dramatic increase in the K1 value of the trypsin-BPTI complex while that of the chymotrypsin-BPTI complex remains essentially the same. This cannot be explained simply in terms of increased steric crowding. The Phe replacement probably causes a small change in the local conformation of the reactive site of the inhibitor which leads to a large decrease in the stability of the very tight trypsin-BPTI complex. This conformation change apparently can be tolerated in the less tightly bound chymotrypsin-BPTI complex. On the basis of the known structure of BPTI, a cyclic heptadecapeptide containing one disulfide bond was synthesized as a model inhibitor in order to determine if a smaller peptide can be designed to act as a highly efficient inhibitor for trypsin. This heptadecapeptide which contains all of the amino acid residues of BPTI taking part in the interaction of the proteinase inhibitor with trypsin binds 3 X 10(7) time more weakly to the enzyme than native BPTI does. It thus appears that even though only a small part of the inhibitor molecule enters directly into interaction with the enzyme, the remaining portions of the molecule which hold the structure of the inhibitor rigid are essential for the strong interaction.  相似文献
