Abstract
The yeast IA3 polypeptide consists of only 68 residues, and the free inhibitor has little intrinsic secondary structure. IA3 showed subnanomolar potency toward its target, proteinase A from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and did not inhibit any of a large number of aspartic proteinases with similar sequences/structures from a wide variety of other species. Systematic truncation and mutagenesis of the IA3 polypeptide revealed that the inhibitory activity is located in the N-terminal half of the sequence. Crystal structures of different forms of IA3 complexed with proteinase A showed that residues in the N-terminal half of the IA3 sequence became ordered and formed an almost perfect alpha-helix in the active site of the enzyme. This potent, specific interaction was directed primarily by hydrophobic interactions made by three key features in the inhibitory sequence. Whereas IA3 was cut as a substrate by the nontarget aspartic proteinases, it was not cleaved by proteinase A. The random coil IA3 polypeptide escapes cleavage by being stabilized in a helical conformation upon interaction with the active site of proteinase A. This results, paradoxically, in potent selective inhibition of the target enzyme.

Fig. 2. Stereo representation of the interactions made by the side chains of Val8 and Phe^12 in the IA[3] polypeptide with cognate hydrophobic residues in proteinase A. Proteinase A residues are green while the Val8 and Phe^12 side chains and the appropriate segment of the IA[3] helical backbone are in brown.

Fig. 3. Stereo representation of the interactions made by the ~Lys18-Leu19-X-X-Asp22~ centerpiece residues of IA[3] in the vicinity of the active site of proteinase A. Proteinase A residues are in green with the catalytic water molecule depicted as a blue sphere. The side chains of Lys18, Leu19, and Asp22 plus the relevant segment of the IA[3] helix backbone are in brown. Hydrogen bonding distances are shown.

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.
