Proteinase inhibitors from Vigna unguiculata subsp. cylindrica: III. Properties and kinetics of inhibitors of papain, subtilisin, and trypsin
Comparative data on the properties of four thiol proteinase inhibitors, and of four serine proteinase inhibitors (two subtilisin and two trypsin inhibitors) isolated from seeds of Vigna are presented. They were similar in their molecular weights (5000–15,000) and dissociation constants (10 −8–10 −9...

m). The range of isoelectric points of the thiol proteinase inhibitors was 6.5 to 10.6, and of the serine proteinase inhibitors was 5.0 to 5.9. The amino acid compositions of one papain isoinhibitor, one of subtilisin, and one of trypsin are presented. Papain inhibitor A1 and subtilisin inhibitor 2a were low in cystine. All of the inhibitors were stable upon heating to 80 °C for 5 min at low pH. The subtilisin inhibitor did not bind to catalytically inactive subtilisin derivatives, whereas the papain inhibitor was stoichiometrically bound to the Hg or thioacetamide derivatives of papain. Incubation of the subtilisin inhibitor with catalytic amounts of subtilisin led to the formation of a modified form with the same inhibitor activity as the native inhibitor but with a different electrophoretic mobility. There was no indication of a similar modification of the papain inhibitor by papain. Separate sites are present on the trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitors for trypsin and chymotrypsin. The papain inhibitors have the same binding sites for papain and ficin. |
