Abstract
The x-ray crystal structure of recombinant leech-derived tryptase inhibitor (rLDTI) has been solved to a resolution of 1.9 A in complex with porcine trypsin. The nonclassical Kazal-type inhibitor exhibits the same overall architecture as that observed in solution and in rhodniin. The complex reveals structural aspects of the mast cell proteinase tryptase. The conformation of the binding region of rLDTI suggests that tryptase has a restricted active site cleft. The basic amino terminus of rLDTI, apparently flexible from previous NMR measurements, approaches the 148-loop of trypsin. This loop has an acidic equivalent in tryptase, suggesting that the basic amino terminus could make favorable electrostatic interactions with the tryptase molecule. A series of rLDTI variants constructed to probe this hypothesis confirmed that the amino-terminal Lys-Lys sequence plays a role in inhibition of human lung tryptase but not of trypsin or chymotrypsin. The location of such an acidic surface patch is in accordance with the known low molecular weight inhibitors of tryptase.
Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Experimental electron density in the vicinity of the active site in standard orientation (see Fig. 3). The binding of LDTI (green) to trypsin (orange) causes the side chain of Tyr217 to flip outwards. This is a result of the conformation of the^ disulfide Cys4I-Cys29I ("I" suffix used to distinguish inhibitor residue numbers from those of trypsin). This figure was prepared using the program O (30).

Fig. 3. Schematic road map of human tryptase. A, view of LDTI's binding loop (green sticks) in the active site cleft of trypsin (orange sticks), displayed together with trypsin's Connolly dot surface (figure prepared using MAIN (58)). Loops contributing to the border of the active site are labeled. B, sequence of corresponding loops of human tryptase in the vicinity of the active site (white^ triangle). Green circles, hydrophobic residues; red, acidic residues; blue, basic residues; light blue, other polar residues. The positions of two large insertions with respect to trypsin are shaded. The^ 9-residue insertion between trypsin residues 175 and 176 would^ occlude the active site of tryptase to the west. The acidic 148-loop could receive the basic amino terminus of LDTI and basic groups of low molecular weight inhibitors. See "Discussion" for details.
