Exosite determinants of serpin specificity.
Serpins form an enormous superfamily of 40-60-kDa proteins found in almost all types of organisms, including humans. Most are one-use suicide substrate serine and cysteine proteinase inhibitors that have evolved to finely regulate complex proteolytic pathways, such as blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, and inflammation. Despite distinct functions for each serpin, there is much redundancy in the p...
متن کاملSerpin reactive center loop mobility is required for inhibitor function but not for enzyme recognition.
One feature that distinguishes all of the inhibitory members of the serpin gene family is the presence of a small uncharged residue at the P14 position of the reactive center loop. In this report we examine the effects of mutations at this position, in the serpin, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1). Replacement of the native P14 Thr-333 residue by an Arg (Thr-333-->Arg) resulted in ...
متن کاملThe reactive site loop of the serpin SCCA1 is essential for cysteine proteinase inhibition.
The high-molecular-weight serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) are restricted, generally, to inhibiting proteinases of the serine mechanistic class. However, the viral serpin, cytokine response modifier A, and the human serpins, antichymotrypsin and squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1 (SCCA1), inhibit different members of the cysteine proteinase class. Although serpins employ a mobile reactive ...
متن کاملPhage Display of the Serpin Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor Randomized at Consecutive Residues in the Reactive Centre Loop and Biopanned with or without Thrombin
In spite of the power of phage display technology to identify variant proteins with novel properties in large libraries, it has only been previously applied to one member of the serpin superfamily. Here we describe phage display of human alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor (API) in a T7 bacteriophage system. API M358R fused to the C-terminus of T7 capsid protein 10B was directly shown to form denatura...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of centerin, a germinal centre cell serpin.
Centerin [SERPINA9/GCET1 (germinal centre B-cell-expressed transcript 1)] is a serpin (serine protease inhibitor) whose expression is restricted to germinal centre B-cells and lymphoid malignancies with germinal centre B-cell maturation. Expression of centerin, together with bcl-6 and GCET2, constitutes a germinal centre B-cell signature, which is associated with a good prognosis in diffuse lar...
