Abstract
An anionic trypsin from Atlantic salmon and bovine trypsin have been complexed with the squash-seed inhibitors, CMTI-I (Cucurbita maxima trypsin inhibitor I, P1 Arg) and CPTI-II (Cucurbita pepo trypsin inhibitor II, P1 Lys). The crystal structures of three such complexes have been determined to 1.5-1.8 A resolution and refined to crystallographic R factors ranging from 17.6 to 19.3%. The two anionic salmon-trypsin complexes (ST-CPTI and ST-CMTI) and the bovine-trypsin complex (BT-CPTI) have been compared to other trypsin-inhibitor complexes by means of general structure and primary and secondary binding features. In all three new structures, the primary binding residue of the inhibitor binds to trypsin in the classical manner, but with small differences in the primary and secondary binding patterns. Lysine in CPTI-II binds deeper in the specificity pocket of bovine trypsin than lysine in other known lysine-bovine-trypsin complexes, and anionic salmon trypsin lacks some of the secondary binding interactions found in the complexes formed between squash inhibitors and bovine trypsin. The ST-CMTI complex was formed from the reactive-site-cleaved form of the inhibitor. However, well defined electron density was observed for the P1-P1' peptide bond, together with a hydrogen-bonding pattern virtually identical to those of all serine-protease-protein-inhibitor complexes, indicating a resynthesis of the scissile bond.
Figure 1.
Figure 1 Electron density for residues at the N-terminus of anionic salmon trypsin in complex with the squash-seed inhibitor CPTI-II. The maps are from simulated annealing where residues 24 and 28 were refined as alanines. The 2F[o] - F[c] map (grey) is contoured at 1.5 and the F[o] - F[c] map (black) is contoured at 3 . Both maps clearly identify residues 24 and 28 as prolines. The coordinates of the final refined model are superimposed on the simulated-annealing maps. The figure was produced using BOBSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991[Kraulis, P. J. (1991). J. Appl. Cryst. 24, 946-950.]; Esnouf, 1997[Esnouf, R. M. (1997). J. Mol. Graph. 15, 133-138.]).
