CLEAVED ANTICHYMOTRYPSIN A349R
Contents |
Overview
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.
