Abstract
Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) regulate the activities of circulating proteases. Serpins inhibit proteases by acylating the serine hydroxyl at their active sites. Before deacylation and complete proteolysis of the serpin can occur, massive conformational changes are triggered in the serpin while maintaining the covalent linkage between the protease and serpin. Here we report the structure of a serpin-trypsin Michaelis complex, which we visualized by using the S195A trypsin mutant to prevent covalent complex formation. This encounter complex reveals a more extensive interaction surface than that present in small inhibitor-protease complexes and is a template for modeling other serpin-protease pairs. Mutations of several serpin residues at the interface reduced the inhibitory activity of the serpin. The serine residue C-terminal to the scissile peptide bond is found in a closer than usual interaction with His 57 at the active site of trypsin.

RCL is gold; helices of both serpin and trypsin are blue; -sheets A, B and C of the serpin are light, medium and dark magenta, respectively; and -sheets of trypsin S195A are red. b, Superposition of active serpin 1K (PDB code 1SEK) (cyan throughout; red reactive center) with serpin 1B A353K (magenta throughout; gold reactive center). c, Cleaved form of the serpin -1 antitrypsin (PDB code 9API) drawn by BOBSCRIPT31 and rendered by POV-RAY32. The topological switch point at P16 for insertion of the RCL as strand 4A is marked in (b,c).
