HUMAN ALPHA-THROMBIN INHIBITION BY EOC-D-PHE-PRO-AZALYS-ONP

Contents

Overview

Kinetics, thermodynamics and structural aspects of human alpha-thrombin, (thrombin) inhibition by newly synthesized low molecular weight, derivatives of alpha-azalysine have been investigated. The thrombin, catalyzed hydrolysis of N-ethoxycarbonyl-D-Phe-Pro-alpha-azaLys, p-nitrophenyl ester (Eoc-D-Phe-Pro-azaLys-ONp) and, N-carbobenzoxy-Pro-alpha-azaLys p-nitrophenyl ester (Cbz-Pro-azaLys-ONp), was investigated at pH 6.2 and 21.0 degrees C, and analyzed in parallel, with that of N-alpha-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-alpha-azalysine p-nitrophenyl, ester (Dmc-azaLys-ONp). Decarboxylation following the enzymatic hydrolysis, of these p-nitrophenyl esters gave the corresponding, 1-peptidyl-2(4-aminobutyl) hydrazines (peptidyl-Abh) showing properties of, thrombin competitive inhibitors. Therefore, thermodynamics for the, reversible binding of D-Phe-Pro-Abh, Cbz-Pro-Abh and Dmc-Abh to thrombin, was examined. These results are consistent with the minimum four-step, catalytic mechanism for product inhibition of serine proteinases., Eoc-D-Phe-Pro-azaLys-ONp and Eoc-D-Phe-Pro-Abh display a sub-micromolar, affinity for thrombin together with a high selectivity versus homologous, plasmatic and pancreatic serine proteinases acting on cationic substrates., The three-dimensional structures of the reversible non-covalent, thrombin:Eoc-D-Phe-Pro-Abh and thrombin:Cbz-Pro-Abh complexes have been, determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.0 A resolution (R-factor = 0.169, and 0.179, respectively), and analyzed in parallel with that of the, thrombin:Dmc-azaLys acyl-enzyme adduct. Both Eoc-D-Phe-Pro-Abh and, Cbz-Pro-Abh competitive inhibitors are accommodated in the thrombin active, center, spanning the region between the aryl binding site and the S1, primary specificity subsite.
