The presence of a proteinase in the composition of the ribosomal proteins of rat liver is demonstrated. The enzyme possesses optimal activity in the zone of pH 7.0-7.2. Soybean trypsin inhibitor and 1-chloro-4-phenyl-3-tosylamido-2-butanone inhibit the enzyme by 50-60%.

Reversible unfolding of bovine chymotrypsinogen A in 2H2O either by heating at low pH or by exposure to 6 M guanidinium chloride results in the exchange of virtually all the nitrogen-bound hydrogens that give rise to low-field 1H NMR peaks, without significant exchange of the histidyl ring Cepsilon1 hydrogens. These preexchange procedures have enabled the resolution of two peaks, using 250-MHz correlation 1H NMR spectroscopy, that are attributed to the two histidyl residues of chymotrypsinogen A. Assignments of the Cepsilon1 hydrogen peaks to histidine-40 and -57 were based on comparison of the NMR titration curves of the native zymogen with those of the diisopropylphosphoryl derivative. Two histidyl Cepsilon1 H peaks were also resolved with solutions of preexchanged chymotrypsin Aalpha. The histidyl peaks of chymotrypsin Aalpha were assigned by comparison of NMR titration curves of the free enzyme with those of its complex with bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz). The NMR titration curves of histidine-57 in the zymogen and enzyme and histidine-40 in the zymogen exhibit two inflections; the additional inflections were assigned to interactions with neighboring carboxyl groups: aspartate-102 in the case of histidine-57 and aspartate-194 in the case of histidine-40 of the zymogen. In bovine chymotrypsinogen A in 2H2O at 31 degrees C, histidine-57 has a pK' of 7.3 and aspartate-102 a pK' of 1.4, and the histidine-40-aspartate-194 system exhibits inflections at pH 4.6 and 2.3. In bovine chymotrypsin Aalpha under the same conditions, the histidine-57-aspartate-102 system has pK' values of 6.1 and 2.8, and histidine-40 has a pK' of 7.2. The results suggest that the pK' of histidine-57 is higher than the pK' of aspartate-102 in both zymogen and enzyme. A significant difference exists in the structure and properties of the catalytic center between the zymogen and activated enzyme. In addition to the difference in pK' values, the chemical shift of histidine-57, which is highly abnormal in the zymogen (deshielded by 0.6 ppm), becomes normalized upon activation. These changes may explain part of the increase in the catalytic activity upon activation. The 1H NMR chemical shift of the Cepsilon1 H of histidine-57 in the chymotrypsin Aalpha-pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) complex is constant between pH 3 and 9 at a value similar to that of histidine-57 in the porcine trypsin-pancreatic trypsin inhibitor complex [Markley, J.L., and Porubcan, M. A. (1976), J. Mol. Biol. 102, 487--509], suggesting that the mechanisms of interaction are similar in the two complexes.

1. The protease inhibitors Trasylol and soyabean trypsin inhibitor prevented the activation of plasma inactive renin by acid. 2. N-Ethylmaleimide inhibited acid-activation to some extent but o-phenathroline had no effect. 3. Acid-activation of the inactive renin in human plasma is mediated by a serine protease.

1. The mechanism of increased renin activity after human plasma had been kept at -5 degrees C for 4 days (cryoactivation) was investigated. 2. The increase in renin activity of human plasma by cryoactivation was closely correlated to the increase obtained by incubation with trypsin (r = 0.88, P less than 0.001, n = 10). 3. An inhibitor of thiol enzyme, N-ethylmaleimide did not inhibit cryoactivation. 4. Soyabean trypsin inhibitor and di-isopropylflurophosphate (DFP) inhibited cryoactivation, suggesting that the cryoactivation may be due to the action of a trypsin-like serine enzyme. 5. In an experiment in the rat haemorrhagic shock caused parallel and cryoactivated plasma, the renin activity being about two times higher in the latter. No significant differences were found in the concentrations of renin and renin substrate between the non-cryoactivated and cryoactivated plasma samples. 6. The results may indicate that a destruction of an inhibitor of the renin-renin substrate reaction is responsible for the increase of renin activity after exposure of rat plasma to low temperature. A trypsin-like enzyme in plasma might have destroyed the inhibitor during this procedure.

A prediction is made of the tertiary structure of parvalbumin, the variable part of the immunoglobulin molecule, carboxypeptidase and the trypsin inhibitor. The structures obtained theoretically coincide completely with the native ones. In the case of the trypsin inhibitor molecule, the theoretical sequence of disulfide bridge formation completely coincides with the experimental data. Elements of symmetry were found in highly helical intermediate structures of the four proteins studied. The theory developed can be successfully applied for assembling the quaternary protein structure. Proceeding from this theory the mechanisms of the increased rate of assembly of protein spatial structure in conditions in vivo as compared with their assembly in vitro are analysed.

The effect of pH and temperature on kinetic and thermodynamic parameters (i.e., k(on),k(off),Ka,delta G0, delta H0 and delta S0 values) for the binding of the Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor DE-3 from Erythrina caffra seeds (ETI) to bovine beta-trypsin, bovine alpha-chymotrypsin, the human tissue plasminogen activator, human alpha-, beta- and gamma-thrombin, as well as the M(r) 33,000 and M(r) 54,000 species of the human urinary plasminogen activator (also named urokinase) has been investigated. At pH 8.0 and 21.0 degrees C: (i) values of the second-order rate constant (K(on)) for the proteinase:ETI complex formation vary between 8.7 x 10(5) and 1.4 x 10(7)/M/s; (ii) values of the dissociation rate constant (k(off)) for the proteinase: ETI complex destabilization range from 3.7 x 10(-5) to 1.4 x 10(-1)/s; and (iii) values of the association equilibrium constant (Ka) for the proteinase:ETI complexation change from < 1.0 x 10(4) to 3.8 x 10(11)/M. Thus, differences in k(off) 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 beta-trypsin > human tissue plasminogen activator > bovine alpha-chymotrypsin >> human alpha-, beta- and gamma-thrombin approximately M(r) 33,000 and M(r) 54,000 species of the human urinary plasminogen activator. Moreover, the serine proteinase:ETI complex formation is an endothermic, entropy-driven, process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The three-dimensional structure of alpha-dendrotoxin (alpha-DTX) from the green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps) venom has been determined crystallographically using the method of isomorphous replacement and refined at 2.2 A resolution using a restrained least-squares method. The crystallographic R-factor is 0.169 for all 3451 measured reflections between 7.0 and 2.2 A. Although the main-chain fold of alpha-DTX is similar to that of homologous bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), there are significant differences involving segments of the polypeptide chain close to the "antiprotease site" of BPTI. Comparison of the structure of alpha-DTX with the existing models of BPTI and its complexes with trypsin and kallikrein reveals structural differences that explain the inability of alpha-DTX to inhibit trypsin and chymotrypsin.

The most productive folding pathway of reduced bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) proceeds through the disulphide intermediates (30-51), (30-51, 5-14), and (30-51, 5-38); these are important kinetic intermediates in folding, even though the latter pair contain non-native disulphide bonds. Analogues of these intermediates have been prepared by protein engineering methods and their conformational properties examined by circular dichroism and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance. The (30-51), (30-51, 5-14) and (30-51, 5-38) analogues exhibit comparable degrees of stable structure, which cannot include those portions of the polypeptide chain involving Cys5, Cys14 and Cys38. These properties are consistent with the roles of (30-51, 5-14) and (30-51, 5-38) in the folding pathway of BPTI, which demand that they exhibit a considerable degree of conformational flexibility in part of the molecule.

Thermodynamic parameters for the binding of hirudin to human alpha, beta and gamma-thrombin have been determined between pH 5.0 and 9.0, and from 10 degrees C to 40 degrees C; kinetic data for the association and dissociation of the proteinase-inhibitor complex were obtained at pH 7.5 and 21 degrees C. These results have been analysed in parallel with the inhibitor-binding properties of human alpha, beta and gamma-thrombin for the bovine basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz-type inhibitor; BPTI). For the purpose of an homogeneous comparison, values of the apparent association equilibrium constant for BPTI binding to human gamma-thrombin have been determined between pH 5.0 and 9.0, at 21 degrees C. The different binding behaviour of hirudin and BPTI with respect to human alpha, beta and gamma-thrombin has been related to the inferred stereochemistry of the proteinase-inhibitor contact regions. In particular, whereas the beta and gamma-loops play an appreciable role in the stabilization of the enzyme-hirudin complexes, they contribute to impairment of the adduct formation for the proteinase/BPTI system.

The disulfide bond-coupled folding and unfolding mechanism (at pH 8.7, 25 degrees C in the presence of oxidized and reduced dithiothreitol) was determined for a bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor mutant in which cysteines 30 and 51 were replaced with alanines so that only two disulfides, between cysteines 14 and 38 and cysteines 5 and 55, remain. Similar studies were made on a chemically-modified derivative of the mutant retaining only the 5-55 disulfide. The preferred unfolding mechanism for the Ala30/Ala51 mutant begins with reduction of the 14-38 disulfide. An intramolecular rearrangement via thiol-disulfide exchange, involving the 5-55 disulfide and cysteines 14 and/or 38, then occurs. At least five of six possible one-disulfide bond species accumulate during unfolding. Finally, the disulfide of one or more of the one-disulfide bond intermediates (excluding that with the 5-55 disulfide) is reduced giving unfolded protein. The folding mechanism seems to be the reverse of the unfolding mechanism; the observed folding and unfolding reactions are consistent with a single kinetic scheme. The rate constant for the rate-limiting intramolecular folding step--rearrangements of other one-disulfide bond species to the 5-55 disulfide intermediate--seems to depend primarily on the number of amino acids separating cysteines 5 and 55 in the unfolded chain. The energetics and kinetics of the mutant's folding mechanism are compared to those of wild-type protein [Creighton, T. E., & Goldenberg, D. P. (1984) J. Mol. Biol. 179, 497] and a mutant missing the 14-38 disulfide [Goldenberg, D. P. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 2481]. The most striking effects are destabilization of the native structure and a large increase in the rate of unfolding.
