    Notes: The crystal structure of the molecular complex formed by bovine α-chymotrypsin and the recombinant serine proteinase inhibitor eglin c from Hirudo medicinalis has been solved using monoclinic crystals of the complex, reported previously. Four circle diffractometer data at 3.0 Å resolution were employed to determine the structure by molecular replacement techniques. Bovine α-chymotrypsin alone was used as the search model; it allowed us to correctly orient and translate the enzyme in the unit cell and to obtain sufficient electron density for positioning the eglin c molecule. After independent rigid body refinement of the two complex components, the molecular model yielded a crystallographic R factor of 0.39. Five iterative cycles of restrained crystallographic refinement and model building were conducted, gradually increasing resolution. The current R factor at 2.6 Å resolution (diffractometer data) is 0.18. The model includes 56 solvent molecules. Eglin c binds to bovine α-chymotrypsin in a manner consistent with other known serine proteinase/inhibitor complex structures. The reactive site loop shows the expected conformation for productive binding and is in tight contact with bovine α-chymotrypsin between subsites P3 and P′2; Leu 45I acts as the P1 residue, located in the primary specificity S1 site of the enzyme. Hydrogen bonds equivalent to those observed in complexes of trypsin(ogen) with the pancreatic basic- and secretory- inhibitors are found around the scissile peptide bond.

    Notes: Binding of the human recombinant secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) [native and with the methionyl residues at positions 73, 82, 94 and 96 of domain 2 oxidized to the sulfoxide derivative (Met(O) SLPI)] to bovine α-chymotrypsin (α-chymotrypsin) [native and with the Met192 residue converted to the sufoxide derivative (Met(O) α-chymotrypsin)] as well as to native bovine β-trypsin (β-trypsin), which does not contain methionyl residues, has been investigated between pH 4.0 and 8.0, and between 10.0°C ad 30.0°C, from thermodynamic and/or kinetic viewpoints. By increasing the number of oxidized methytonyl residues present at the proteinase: inhibitor contact interface (from 0 to 3), the adducts investigated are increasingly destabilized and the relaxation time of the complexes into conformers less stable is enhanced. On the other hand, the selective oxidation methionyl residues of SLPI and α-chymotrypsin, by the reaction with chloramines T, does not affect the proteinase inhibition recognition mechanism. Therefore, even though conformational changes may occur in the conversion native SLPI and native α-chymotrypsin to their Met(O) derivatives, a localized steric hindrance can be considered as the main structural determinant accounting for the reported results.

    Notes: The effect of pH and temperature of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters (i.e.,kon,koff,Ka, δGo, δHo and δSo values) for the binding of the kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor DE-3 from Erythrina caffra seeds (ETI) to bovine β-trypsin, bovine α-chymotrypsin, the human tissue plasminogen activator, human α-, β- and γ-thrombin, as well as the Mr 33000 and Mr 54 000 species of the human urinary plasminogen activator (also named urokinase) has been investigated. At pH 8.0 and 21.0 °C: (i) values of the second-order rate constant (Kon) for the proteinase: ETI complex formation vary between 8.7 × 105 and 1.4 × 107/M/s; (ii) values of the dissociation rate constant (koff) for the proteinase: ETI complex destabilization range from 3.7 × 10-5 to 1.4 × 104/s; and (iii) values of the association equilibrium constant (Ka) for the proteinase: ETI complexation change from 〈 1.0 × 104 to 3.8 × 1011/M. Thus, differences in koff values account mostly for the large changes in Ka values for ETI binding. The affinity of ETI for the serine proteinases considered can be arranged as follows: bovine β-trypsin 〉 human tissue plasminogen activator 〉 bovine β-chymotrypsin » human α-, β- and γ-thrombin ≍ o Mr 33 000 and Mr 54000 species of the human urinary plasminogen activator. Moreover, the serine proteinase: ETI complex formation is an endothermic, entropy-driven, process. On increasing the pH from 5.0 to 9.0 (at 21.0 °C), the affinity of ETI for bovine β-trypsin, the human tissue plasminogen activator and bovine α-chymotrypsin (i.e., Ka values) increases, thus reflecting the acidic-pK shift of the His57 catalytic residue from ≍≍ 7.0, in the free enzymes (pKUNL), to ≍5.2, in the serine proteinase: ETI complexes (pKLIG). The ETI-binding properties have been analysed in parallel with those of related serine (pro)enzyme/macromolecular inhibitor systems. Considering the known molecular models, the observed binding behaviour of ETI is discussed in relationship to the inferred stereochemistry of the serine proteinase/inhibitor contact regions.

    Notes: The effect of pH and temperature on the apparent association equilibrium constant (Ka) for the binding of the soybean Bowman-Birk proteinase inhibitor (BBI) and of its chymotrypsin and trypsin inhibiting fragments (F-C(p), F-T(p) and F-T(t), respectively) to bovine α-chymotrypsin (α-chymotrypsin) and bovine β-trypsin (β-trypsin) has been investigated. On the basis of Ka values, the proteinase inhibitor affinity can be arranged as follows: β-chymotrypsin: BBI ≈ β-trypsin:BBI ≈ β-trypsin:F-T(t) ≈ β-trypsin:F-T(p) ≫ α-chymotrypsin:F-C(p), F-C(p), F-T(p) and F-T(t) do not inhibit β-trypsin and α-chymotrypsin action, respectively. On lowering the pH from 9.5 to 4.5, values of Ka for BBI, F-C(p), F-T(p) and/or F-T(t) binding to α-chymotrypsin and β-trypsin decrease, thus reflecting the acid-pK shift of the invariant His57 catalytic residue from 7.0, in the free enzymes, to 5.2, in the proteinase:inhibitor complexes. Considering the known molecular models, the observed binding behaviour of BBI, F-C(p), F-T(p) and F-T(t) was related to the inferred stereochemistry of the proteinase:inhibitor contact regions.

    Notes: Values of the association equilibrium constant (Ka) for the binding of the native and of the cyanogen bromide-cleaved bovine basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (native BPTI and [Hse lactone-52]-52,53-seco-BPTI, respectively) to neuraminidase-treated porcine pancreatic β-Kallikrein-B (kallikrein) and bovine α-chymotrypsin (chymotrypsin) have been determined between pH4.0 and 9.0, and 20.0°C. Over the whole pH range explored, native BPTI and [Hse lactone-52]-52,53-seco-BPTI show the same affinity for kallikrein. On the other hand, the affinity of [se lactone-52]-52,53-seco-BPTI for chymotrypsin is high4er, around neutrality, than that found for native BPTI by about one order of magnitude, coverging in the acidic pH limb. The simplest mechanism accounting for the observed data implies that, on lowering the pH from 9.0 to 4.0 (i) the decrease in affinity for the binding of native BPTI to kalikrein and chymotrypsin, as well as for the association of [Hse lactone-52]-52,53-seco-BPTI to kalikrein, reflects the acidic pK shift, upon inhibitor association, of a single inozing group; and (ii) the decrease of Ka values for [Hse lactone-52]-52,53-seco-BPTI binding to chymotrypsin appears to be modulated by the acidic pK shift, upon inhibitor association, of two non-equivalent proton-binding residues. On the basis of the stereochemistry of the serine proteinase/inhibitor contact region(s), these data indicate that long-rang structural changes in [Hse lactone-52]-52,53-seco-BPTI are energetically linked to the chymotrypsin: inhibitor complex formation. This observation represents an important aspect for the mechanism of molecular recognition and regulation in BPTI.

    Notes: The binding of the recombinant proteinase inhibitor eglin c from the leech Hirudo medicinalis to serine (pro)enzymes belonging to the chymotrypsin and subtilisin families has been investigated from the thermodynamic viewpoint, between pH 4.5 and 9.5 and from 10°C to 40°C. The affinity of eglin c for the serine (pro)enzymes considered shows the following trend: Leu-proteinase [the leucine specific serine proteinase from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves] 〉 human leucocyte elastase ⋍ human cathepsin G ⋍ subtilisin Carlsberg ⋍ bovine α-chymotrypsin 〉 bovine α-chymotrypsinogen A ⋍ porcine pancreatic elastase ⋍ bovine β-trypsin. The serine (pro)enzyme-inhibitor complex formation is an entropy-driven process. On increasing the pH from 4.5 to 9.5, the affinity of eglin c for the serine (pro)enzymes considered increases thus reflecting the acid pK shift to the invariant hystidyl catalytic residue from ≍ 6.9 in the free serine proteinases and bovine α-chymotrypsinogen A to ⋍ 5.1 in the serine (pro)enzyme-inhibitor complexes. Considering the known molecular models, the observed binding behaviour of eglin c was related to the inferred stereochemistry of the serine(pro)enzyme-inhibitor contact regions.
