Function

[AACT_HUMAN] Although its physiological function is unclear, it can inhibit neutrophil cathepsin G and mast cell chymase, both of which can convert angiotensin-1 to the active angiotensin-2.^[1]

Evolutionary Conservation

Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Expressed in a kinetically trapped folding state, a serpin couples the thermodynamic driving force of a massive beta-sheet rearrangement to the inhibition of a target protease. Hence, the serpin-protease interaction is the premier example of a "spring-loaded" protein-protein interaction. Amino acid substitutions in the hinge region of a serpin reactive loop can weaken the molecular spring, which converts the serpin from an inhibitor into a substrate. To probe the molecular basis of this conversion, we report the crystal structure of A349R antichymotrypsin in the reactive loop cleaved state at 2.1 A resolution. This amino acid substitution does not block the beta-sheet rearrangement despite the burial of R349 in the hydrophobic core of the cleaved serpin along with a salt-linked acetate ion. The inhibitory activity of this serpin variant is not obliterated; remarkably, its inhibitory properties are anion-dependent due to the creation of an anion-binding cavity in the cleaved serpin.
