Structural energetics of serine protease inhibition*
We have investigated the binding of the serine protease inhibitor, turkey ovomucoid third domain (OMTKY3), to the serine protease, porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE), using isothermal titration calorimetry and structural energetics calculations. The calculations predict that the binding at 25 8C is characterized by a negligible DH 8, a large and positive DS 8, and a large and negative DCp, resul...
متن کاملStructural insights into serine protease inhibition by a marine invertebrate BPTI Kunitz-type inhibitor.
Proteins isolated from marine invertebrates are frequently characterized by exceptional structural and functional properties. ShPI-1, a BPTI Kunitz-type inhibitor from the Caribbean Sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus, displays activity not only against serine-, but also against cysteine-, and aspartate proteases. As an initial step to evaluate the molecular basis of its activities, we describ...
متن کاملThe primary structure and structural characteristics of Achromobacter lyticus protease I, a lysine-specific serine protease.
The complete amino acid sequence of Achromobacter lyticus protease I (EC 3.4.21.50), which specifically hydrolyzes lysyl peptide bonds, has been established. This has been achieved by sequence analysis of the reduced and S-carboxymethylated protease and of peptides obtained by enzymatic digestion with Achromobacter protease I itself and Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease and by chemical cleavage...
متن کاملIn vivo inhibition of serine protease processing requires a high fractional inhibition of cathepsin C.
Inhibition of cathepsin C, a dipeptidyl peptidase that activates many serine proteases, represents an attractive therapeutic strategy for inflammatory diseases with a high neutrophil burden. We recently showed the feasibility of blocking the activation of neutrophil elastase, cathepsin G, and proteinase-3 with a single cathepsin C selective inhibitor in cultured cells. Here we measured the frac...
متن کاملStructural insight into distinct mechanisms of protease inhibition by antibodies.
To better understand how the relatively flat antigen-combining sites of antibodies interact with the concave shaped substrate-binding clefts of proteases, we determined the structures of two antibodies in complex with the trypsin-like hepatocyte growth-factor activator (HGFA). The two inhibitory antibodies, Ab58 and Ab75, were generated from a human Fab phage display library with synthetic dive...
