Abstract
Subtilisins represent a large class of microbial serine proteases. To date, there are three-dimensional structures of proteinaceous inhibitors from three families in complex with subtilisins in the Protein Data Bank. All interact with subtilisin via an exposed loop covering six interacting residues. Here we present the crystal structure of the complex between the Bacillus lentus subtilisin Savinase and the barley alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor (BASI). This is the first reported structure of a cereal Kunitz-P family inhibitor in complex with a subtilisin. Structural analysis revealed that BASI inhibits Savinase in a novel way, as the interacting loop is shorter than loops previously reported. Mutational analysis showed that Thr88 is crucial for the inhibition, as it stabilises the interacting loop through intramolecular interactions with the BASI backbone.

Fig. 2. Subtilisin inhibition modes. Upper panel: The subtilisin surface is shown in white, and residues in contact with the inhibitor are shown in blue. Residues of the inhibitor spanning subsites P4′ to P9 are shown as red sticks. Lower panel: Zoom-in on the interaction. P5–P2′ inhibitor residues and interacting subtilisin residues are shown as sticks; subtilisin residues, active site residues and inhibitor residues are shown in blue, yellow and red, respectively. β-Strands are shown as arrows. (a) BASI (this work, chains A and C). (b) SSI (2SIC). (c) CI-2 (2SNI). (d) OMTKY3 (1YU6, chains A and C).
