Hydrogen exchange kinetics of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor beta-sheet protons in trypsin-bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, trypsinogen-bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, and trypsinogen-isoleucylvaline-bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor.

Hydrogen exchange rates of six beta-sheet peptide amide protons in bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) have been measured in free BPTI and in the complexes trypsinogen-BPTI, trypsinogen-Ile-Val-BPTI, bovine trypsin-BPTI, and porcine trypsin-BPTI. Exchange rates in the complexes are slower for Ile-18, Arg-20, Gln-31, Phe-33, Tyr-35, and Phe-45 NH, but the magnitude of the effect is highly variable. The ratio of the exchange rate constant in free BPTI to the exchange rate constant in the complex, k/kcpIx, ranges from 3 to much greater than 10(3). Gln-31, Phe-45, and Phe-33 NH exchange rate constants are the same in each of the complexes. For Ile-18 and Tyr-35, k/kcpIx is much greater than 10(3) for the trypsin complexes but is in the range 14-43 for the trypsinogen complexes. Only the Arg-20 NH exchange rate shows significant differences between trypsinogen-BPTI and trypsinogen-Ile-Val-BPTI and between porcine and bovine trypsin-BPTI.

Heat stabilization produced by protein-protein association. A differential scanning calorimetric study of the heat denaturation of the trypsin-soybean trypsin inhibitor and trypsin-ovomucoid complexes.

The irreversible thermal denaturation of the association complexes of bovine beta-trypsin with soybean trypsin inhibitor or ovomucoid was observed with a differential scanning calorimeter. Association of trypsin with either inhibitor results in increased heat stability. The largest effect is observed with beta-trypsin and soybean trypsin inhibitor. At pH 6.7, first order rate constants (s-1) for denaturation at 72 degrees, determined at a heating rate of 10 degrees per min, are: beta-trypsin, 30 times 10-3; soybean trypsin inhibitor, 9 times 10-3; trypsin-soybean trypsin inhibitor complex, 0.4 times 10-3. Under equivalent conditions, rate constants for ovomucoid and trypsin-ovomucoid complex are 4 times 10-3 and 1 times 10-3 s-1, respectively. These changes in rate correspond to heat stabilization of trypsin equivalent to an increase of 16 and 9 degrees, respectively, in its observed denaturation temperature. Rate constants determined for beta-trypsin and trypsin-soybean trypsin inhibitor complex are independent of heating rate; those for soybean trypsin inhibitor and ovomucoid are a function of heating rate. This suggests that predenaturational conformational alterations may be important steps in the denaturation of the inhibitors. Activation energies for denaturation of the complexes and their components are all similar, averaging 70 kcal per mol. The large activation energies observed suggest that denaturation of the complexes is not rate-limited by their dissociation.

Sequencing and characterization of the citrus weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, trypsin cDNA. Effect of Aedes trypsin modulating oostatic factor on trypsin biosynthesis.

Trypsin mRNA from the citrus weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, was reverse transcribed and amplified by PCR. A cDNA species of 513 bp was cloned and sequenced. The 3' and 5' ends of the gene (262 bp and 237 bp, respectively) were amplified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends, cloned and sequenced. The deduced sequence of the trypsin cDNA (860 bp) encodes for 250 amino acids including 11 amino acids of activation and signal peptides and exhibited 16.8% identity to trypsin genes of selected Lepidoptera and Diptera. A three-dimensional model of Diaprepes trypsin contained two domains of beta-barrel sheets as has been found in Drosophila and Neobellieria. The catalytic active site is composed of the canonical triad of His41, Asp92 and Ser185 and a specificity pocket occupied by Asp179 with maximal activity at pH 10.4. Southern blot analysis indicated that at least two copies of the gene are encoded by Diaprepes midgut. Northern blot analysis detected a single RNA band below 1.35 kb at different larval ages (28-100 days old). The message increased with age and was most abundant at 100 days. Trypsin activity, on the other hand, reached a peak at 50 days and fell rapidly afterwards indicating that the trypsin message is probably regulated translationally. Feeding of soybean trypsin inhibitor and Aedes aegypti trypsin modulating oostatic factor affected trypsin activity and trypsin biosynthesis, respectively. These results indicate that Diaprepes regulates trypsin biosynthesis with a trypsin modulating oostatic factor-like signal.

Refined 1.6 A resolution crystal structure of the complex formed between porcine beta-trypsin and MCTI-A, a trypsin inhibitor of the squash family. Detailed comparison with bovine beta-trypsin and its complex.

The crystal structure of the complex formed by porcine beta-trypsin with the MCTI-A inhibitor (Momordica charantia, Linn. Cucurbitaceae) has been determined at 1.6 A resolution using the molecular replacement method. The sequence of MCTI-A was determined by recognizing the electron density, and shows that MCTI-A is a member of the squash family of trypsin inhibitors. We report the first high-resolution structure of porcine beta-trypsin. Detailed comparisons have been made on the overall structure, solvent structure and active-site geometries between this complex and bovine beta-trypsin and its complexes. On the basis of our results, we discuss the interaction patterns between inhibitor and trypsin. Unlike other complex structures formed by bovine trypsin with inhibitors, no out-of-plane distortion around the inhibitor's scissible peptide was observed. The role of the trypsin catalytic triad is also discussed on the basis of this structure.

Analysis of inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor and a novel trypsin inhibitor, pre-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, from human plasma. Polypeptide chain stoichiometry and assembly by glycan.

The polypeptide chain composition of protein material referred to in the literature as "inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor" was investigated. The material was found to consist of distinct proteins of 125,000 and 225,000 Da, each of which contained more than one polypeptide chain. The links that assemble each protein were found to be stable to various strong denaturants, but susceptible to treatment with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or hyaluronidase, indicating a glycan nature. The 225,000-Da protein migrated with inter-alpha mobility on agarose gel electrophoresis and is designated inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, whereas the 125,000-Da protein migrated with pre-alpha mobility, and we designate it pre-alpha-trypsin inhibitor. Analysis of the proteins, the separated chains, and proteolytic derivatives thereof revealed that each protein contained a single, identical, trypsin-inhibitory chain of 30,000 Da. Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor contains noninhibitory heavy chains of 65,000 and 70,000 Da, whereas pre-alpha-trypsin inhibitor contains a heavy chain of 90,000 Da. Our data allow identification of several recently reported cDNA clones and clarify the confusion surrounding the composition of plasma proteins referred to as inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor.

Trypsin-like protease of mites: purification and characterization of trypsin-like protease from mite faecal extract Dermatophagoides farinae. Relationship between trypsin-like protease and Der f III.

A serine protease from mite faecal extract, Dermatophagoides farinae, was purified using DEAE-Sephacel anion exchange chromatography and Superdex 75 pg gel chromatography. The molecular weight of this protease was 34 kD on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. The optimal pH and temperature of the protease were 8.0 and 47 degrees C, respectively. In addition, this protease cleaved arginyl or lysyl residue containing substrates selectively and was only inhibited by aprotinin, FUT-175, and soy bean trypsin inhibitor and not by chymostatin, E-64 and iodoacetic acid. These results show that our purified serine protease belongs to the trypsin-type. Purified trypsin-like protease was shown to be allergenic by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Antigenicity of trypsin-like protease was completely different from those of Der f I and Der f II. Both, 20 N-terminal amino acid sequence and amino acid compositions of the purified protease were very similar to those of Der f III. Good similarities were found between trypsin-like protease and Der f III concerning physicochemical properties such as molecular weight on SDS-PAGE and ammonium sulphate solubility. Summarizing the above data, it can be concluded that a trypsin-like protease from mite faecal extract is actually the Der f III allergen and that it may be involved in the digestive process of the mite as it was found not in mite body but in mite faeces.

Studies on the interaction of Trasylol (aprotinin) with trypsin-pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) complexes and with alpha 2-macroglobulin-trypsin-PSTI-complexes.

An investigation was performed to study the interaction of Trasylol with both trypsin-pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) and alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2-M)-trypsin-PSTI complexes. Trasylol was readily able to displace immunogenic PSTI from a complex with trypsin in vitro. A similar scale of displacement of PSTI by Trasylol from alpha 2-M-trypsin-PSTI complexes could not be demonstrated. Using complexes manufactured in vitro with 125I-labelled PSTI, we found that only a small percentage of the PSTI label could be liberated, even when presented with amounts of Trasylol in a 10-molar excess to the PSTI.

Studies on trypsin inhibitors. Part IX. Synthesis and trypsin inhibitory activity of the duopentacontapeptide corresponding to the amino acid sequence of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal).

The synthesis of the protected duopentacontapeptide corresponding to the entire amino acid sequence I-52 of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal type) is described. The benzyloxycarbonyltetradecapeptide tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide (sequence 1-14) was selectively deblocked with trifluoroacetic acid and used to acylate, by the azide procedure, the peptide free base corresponding to the sequence 15-52. The isolated material was purified by ion exchange chromatography and the protecting groups were removed by successive treatments with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, 1 M piperidine and mercuric acetate. F02M phosphate buffer, pH8. Determination of the inhibitory capacity indicated that the synthetic material is about 50% effective, at 30:1 inhibitor:trypsin molar ratio in inhibiting the tryptic hydrolysis of Nalpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine-4-nitroanilide. Full inhibition was achieved at a higher inhibitor:trypsin molar ratio. The stability constants and the standard free energy of binding of the complex between trypsin and the synthetic inhibitor have been determined.

[About degradation products of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor in serum. I. The inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor as precursor of the acid stable trypsin-plasmin-inhibitor of the serum (author's transl)].

The humoral inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor is to define as precursor of the acid stable trypsin-plasmin-inhibitor in the serum. The inhibitor is filtrated by the glomerulum and excreted in the urine. The serum level of the inhibitor is increased in nephropathy. Using a new assay for the intact precursor it was found that during inflammation the decreased precursor level indicates an increased turnover, though the glomerular filtration of the acid-stable inhibitor is within normal range. The increase of the precursor level during nephropathy indicates that the kidney is the main degradation organe for the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor. Nevertheless, an increase of the acid-stable inhibitor is to be seen. This fact is only to explain if it is assumed that the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor is permanently degraded everywhere in the organism.

[Conformational aspects of beta-trypsin interaction with substrates and pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. III. Catalytic act of trypsin and its inhibition].

Basing on the results of the theoretical conformational analysis of the nonbonded and valence complexes of trypsin with substrate molecules, the catalytical act of the enzyme is described in details as a spontaneous process. Conformational aspects of interactions of trypsin with pancreatic trypsin inhibitor are analysed. The complete inhibition process and the geometry of the enzyme-inhibitor complex are described in details. The point amino acid replacements, which will provide for an exclusion of BPTI inhibition and will radically change the specificity of the enzyme are proposed.

Studies on an artificial trypsin inhibitor peptide derived from the mung bean trypsin inhibitor: chemical synthesis, refolding, and crystallographic analysis of its complex with trypsin.

The active fragment with Lys at the reactive site of mung bean trypsin inhibitor (MBILF) is composed of two peptide chains, A1 of 26 residues and A2 of 9 residues linked via two disulfide bonds. In the present study, a peptide of 22 residue comprising the sequence of chain A1 from position 3 to 24 was synthesized by the solid-phase method. This synthetic peptide with six Cys residues contains a reactive site at position Lys11I-Ser12I (I denotes an inhibitor residue). Air oxidation and HPLC purification resulted in two antitrypsin active components, SPC1 and SPC2. Neither SPC1 nor SPC2 can stoichiometrically inhibit trypsin. The Ki values of SPC1 and SPC2 are 1.2 x 10(-7) and 4.0 x 10(-8) M, respectively. The complexes of SPC1 and SPC2 with bovine beta-trypsin (BTRY) were crystallized by ammonium sulphate precipitation at pH 6.4 and 6.0, respectively. The two crystals have the same crystal form with space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) and cell dimension of a = 63.2(2) A, b = 63.5(6) A, and c = 69.8(4) A. The crystal structure of one complex, SPC1-BTRY, was determined and refined at 2.2 A resolution to a final R-value of 19.2%. From the resulting electron density map, 9 residues of SPC1, from position 9I to 17I, were identified clearly and three-dimension atomic model of the 9-residue reactive loop formed by a disulfide bridge, Cys9I-Cys17I, was built. No electron density corresponding to the other 13 residues was observed in the present map.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The nature of trypsin-pancreatic trypsin inhibitor binding: free energy calculation of Tyr39-->Phe39 mutation in trypsin.

The main goal of this work is the detailed study of the binding interactions in the trypsin-pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (PTI) complex and, here, we present how meaningful the Tyr39-Ile19 interaction is to the stability of that particular complex using free energy methods. This knowledge should be very important in the design of new inhibitors for trypsin and enzymes homologous to it. In particular, it could help to decide whether it is possible to produce selective inhibitors for these enzymes by appropriate mutations of residues in the contact region of PTI.

Conversion of endoglycoceramidase-activator II by trypsin to the 27.9 kDa polypeptide possessing full activity: purification of activator for endoglycoceramidase by trypsin treatment followed by trypsin-inhibitor agarose column application.

Endoglycoceramidase (EGCase) cleaves the linkage between oligosaccharides and ceramides of various glycosphingolipids [Ito, M. & Yamagata, T. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 14278-14282]. A detergent was required for EGCase to express full activity, possibly due to its hydrophobic nature. Recently, activator proteins responsible for stimulating EGCase activity in the absence of detergents were isolated from the culture supernatant of Rhodococcus sp. [Ito, M., Ikegami, Y., & Yamagata, T. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 7919-7926]. The activity of activator II specific for EGCase II was heat-labile but insensitive to trypsin-treatment. This activator (69.2 kDa) was converted to the 27.9 kDa polypeptide via the 42 kDa intermediate by exhaustive trypsination, and the stimulatory activity of 27.9 kDa polypeptide on EGCase II was identical to that of the native form toward asialo GM1 and cell-surface GM3 of horse erythrocytes as substrates. This observation was successfully applied to obtain the purified activator without contamination with EGCase activity, which is abolished completely following treatment with trypsin.

[Study of trypsin-substrate and trypsin-inhibitor complexes. 1. Conformation of Asp-102, His-57 and Ser-195 residues in the trypsin active center].

Using the semi-empirical method of conformational analysis low energetic conformations were found for trypsin's catalytic triad Asp102, His57, Ser195 in the field of the active centre that consisted of about 800 atoms. It was shown that within the enzyme structure conformations which are preferential for isolated residues are formed. Lability obtained for the side chains is in accord with their functions in enzymatic catalysis. Results of the calculations carried out correlate with the X-ray data for trypsin complexes.

The structure of the complex formed by bovine trypsin and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor III. Structure of the anhydro-trypsin-inhibitor complex.

The structure of the complex between anhydro-trypsin and pancreatic trypsin inhibitor has been determined by difference Fourier techniques using phases obtained from the native complex (Huber et al., 1974). It was refined independently by constrained crystallographic refinement at 1.9 A resolution. The anhydro-complex has Ser 195 converted to dehydro-alanine. There were no other significant structural changes. In particular, the high degree of pyramidalization of the C atom of Lys 15 (I) of the inhibitor component observed in the native complex in maintained in the anhydro-species.

Cryoenzymology of trypsin. 13C-n.m.r. detection of an acyl-trypsin intermediate in the trypsin-catalysed hydrolysis of a highly specific substrate at subzero temperature.

The kinetics of the trypsin-catalysed hydrolysis of the highly specific substrate N alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine p-nitrophenyl ester were studied under cryoenzymological conditions by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy at pH approx. 3.0. The kinetics of this reaction are shown to be in agreement with similar studies made with the use of u.v.-visible-absorption-spectrophotometric techniques. A combination of 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy and cryoenzymology has for the first time detected an acyl-trypsin intermediate in the hydrolysis of this highly specific substrate. The advantages and difficulties of using 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy coupled with cryoenzymology in the detection and characterization of enzyme-substrate intermediates are discussed.

Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors derived by limited proteolysis of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, VII. Determination of the amino-acid sequence of the trypsin-released inhibitor from bovine inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor.

An acid-labile proteinase inhibitor, quite similar to human inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, was isolated from bovine serum. An acid-resistant 30-kDa inhibitor, exhibiting properties similar to human HI-30, was also isolated. Upon limited proteolysis of both bovine inhibitors, active 14-kDa domains are released which are identical with respect to molecular mass and acid resistance. The amino-acid sequence determination of these fragments revealed a strong homology to the corresponding human inhibitor HI-14 which is characterized by two covalently linked Kunitz-type domains. The reactive-site residue is leucine in the N-terminal domain (in the human inhibitor methionine) and arginine in the C-terminal domain in both bovine and human inhibitor.

Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitors derived by limited proteolysis of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor, X. The amino-acid sequences of the trypsin-released inhibitors from horse and pig inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitors.

The amino-acid sequences of the acid-resistant inhibitors released from horse and pig inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (ITI) by tryptic proteolysis were determined. They are composed of two covalently linked Kunitz-type domains. In both cases the reactive site of their C-terminal antitryptic domains is occupied by arginine as in the homologous human and bovine inhibitors. The reactive site of their N-terminal domain exhibits only a weak interaction with polymorphonuclear granulocytic elastase and is occupied by leucine as in the strong elastase inhibitor released from bovine ITI. The differences between inhibitory activities of the ITI-derived inhibitors from horse, pig, and cattle are discussed on the basis of sequence differences in position P'2.
