Abstract
Aspartic proteinase A from yeast is specifically and potently inhibited by a small protein called IA3 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although this inhibitor consists of 68 residues, we show that the inhibitory activity resides within the N-terminal half of the molecule. Structures solved at 2.2 and 1.8 A, respectively, for complexes of proteinase A with full-length IA3 and with a truncated form consisting only of residues 2-34, reveal an unprecedented mode of inhibitor-enzyme interactions. Neither form of the free inhibitor has detectable intrinsic secondary structure in solution. However, upon contact with the enzyme, residues 2-32 become ordered and adopt a near-perfect alpha-helical conformation. Thus, the proteinase acts as a folding template, stabilizing the helical conformation in the inhibitor, which results in the potent and specific blockage of the proteolytic activity.

Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the structure of proteinase A. Ribbon representation showing the tracing of the main chain of proteinase A (green) with the oligosaccharide attached to Asn 67 shown in mauve, together with the visible fragment of the inhibitor IA[3] (gold). Side chains of the active site residues Asp 32 and Asp 215 are shown in red.

Proteinase A (green, with the active site aspartates red) complexed to IA[3] (yellow with orange side chains) is superimposed on progastricsin (purple). Water molecules in the proteinase A complex are blue, and hydrogen bonds are marked as thin lines.
