Abstract
Kunitz domain 1 (KD1) of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 inhibits trypsin, plasmin, and factor VIIa (FVIIa)/tissue factor with Ki values of 13, 3, and 1640 nM, respectively. To investigate the molecular specificity of KD1, crystals of the complex of KD1 with bovine beta-trypsin were obtained that diffracted to 1.8 A. The P1 residue Arg-15 (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor numbering) in KD1 interacts with Asp-189 (chymotrypsin numbering) and with the carbonyl oxygens of Gly-219 and Ogamma of Ser-190. Leu-17, Leu-18, Leu-19, and Leu-34 in KD1 make van der Waals contacts with Tyr-39, Phe-41, and Tyr-151 in trypsin, forming a hydrophobic interface. Molecular modeling indicates that this complementary hydrophobic patch is composed of Phe-37, Met-39, and Phe-41 in plasmin, whereas in FVIIa/tissue factor, it is essentially absent. Arg-20, Tyr-46, and Glu-39 in KD1 interact with trypsin through ordered water molecules. In contrast, insertions in the 60-loop in plasmin and FVIIa allow Arg-20 of KD1 to directly interact with Glu-60 in plasmin and Asp-60 in FVIIa. Moreover, Tyr-46 in KD1 electrostatically interacts with Lys-60A and Arg-60D in plasmin and Lys-60A in FVIIa. Glu-39 in KD1 interacts directly with Arg-175 of the basic patch in plasmin, whereas in FVIIa, such interactions are not possible. Thus, the specificity of KD1 for plasmin is attributable to hydrophobic and direct electrostatic interactions. For trypsin, hydrophobic interactions are intact, and electrostatic interactions are weak, whereas for FVIIa, hydrophobic interactions are missing, and electrostatic interactions are partially intact. These findings provide insight into the protease selectivity of KD1.

FIG. 2. Hydrophobic core in KD1. A, residues comprising the hydrophobic core in KD1. KD1 is shown as a ribbon with -strands in yellow. Carbons are green, oxygens are red, and nitrogens are blue. The internal hydrophobic core of KD1 is composed of Leu-9, Tyr-11, Tyr-21, Tyr-22, Phe-33, and Tyr-35. B, electron density surrounding some of the hydrophobic core residues in KD1. The hydrophobic core residues that are depicted are Leu-9, Tyr-11, Tyr-22, and Phe-33, and water molecules in the vicinity are shown as red spheres. The electron density is a 2F[o] - F[c] map contoured at 1.2 .

FIG. 5. Model of KD1 with plasmin. Plasmin is shown with cyan ribbons, and KD1 is shown with yellow ribbons. A, KD1·plasmin hydrophobic interface. The hydrophobic patch in KD1 composed of Leu-17, Leu-18, Leu-19, and Leu-34 is shown interacting with a hydrophobic patch in plasmin consisting of Phe-37 {583}, Met-39 {585}, and Phe-41 {587}. B, Arg-20 and Tyr-46 of KD1 interactions with plasmin. As compared with interactions in the KD1·trypsin complex, Arg-20 of KD1 directly interacts with Glu-60 {606} of plasmin, and Tyr-46 of KD1 interacts with Lys-60A {607} and Arg-60D {610} in plasmin. C, Glu-39 of KD1 interactions with plasmin. Glu-39 of the acidic patch in KD1 interacts directly with Arg-175 {719} and possibly through water molecules to Arg-100 {644} and Arg-221 {767} of the basic patch in plasmin.
