| UniProt functional annotation for P82409 | |||
| UniProt code: P82409. |
| Organism: | Momordica cochinchinensis (Spiny bitter cucumber) (Muricia cochinchinensis). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; fabids; Cucurbitales; Cucurbitaceae; Momordiceae; Momordica. | |
| Function: | Inhibits trypsin; probably participates in a plant defense mechanism. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Domain: | The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Ptm: | A cyclic succinimide probably forms by loss of water between Asp-4 and Gly-5, that can then rehydrate to either the original peptide bond or to a beta-aspartyl isopeptide bond. Three isoforms of MCoTI-II are detected, two with the parent molecular weight, corresponding to the unmodified and proposed isopeptide forms, and one with a molecular weight 18 Da lower, corresponding to a succinimide cross-linked form. | |
| Ptm: | This is a cyclic peptide. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=3453; Mass_error=0.2; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10801322}; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the protease inhibitor I7 (squash-type serine protease inhibitor) family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
