Active site distortion is sufficient for proteinase inhibit second crystal structure of covalent serpin-proteinase complex
Contents |
Overview
We report here the x-ray structure of a covalent serpin-proteinase, complex, alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1PI) with porcine pancreatic, elastase (PPE), which differs from the only other x-ray structure of such, a complex, that of alpha1PI with trypsin, in showing nearly complete, definition of the proteinase. alpha1PI complexes with trypsin, PPE, and, human neutrophil elastase (HNE) showed similar rates of deacylation and, enhanced susceptibility to proteolysis by exogenous proteinases in, solution. The differences between the two x-ray structures therefore, cannot arise from intrinsic differences in the inhibition mechanism., However, self-proteolysis of purified complex resulted in rapid cleavage, of the trypsin complex, slower cleavage of the PPE complex, and only, minimal cleavage of the HNE complex. This suggests that the earlier alpha1, PI-trypsin complex may have been proteolyzed and that the present, structure is more likely to be representative of serpin-proteinase, complexes. The present structure shows that active site distortion alone, is sufficient for inhibition and suggests that enhanced proteolysis is not, necessarily exploited in vivo.
