Abstract:
:Modified (Arg63-Ile64 reactive-site peptide bond hydrolyzed) soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) with all reactive amino groups, except that of Ile64, protected was described in the preceding paper (Kowalski, D., and Laskowski, M., Jr. (1976), Biochemistry, preceding paper in this issue). Treatment of this inhibitor with tert-butyloxycarbonyl-Ala- and tert-butyloxycarbonyl-Ile-N-hydroxy-succinimide esters yields inactive endo-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-Ala63A-and endo-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-Ile63A-modified inhibitors. The tert-butyloxycarbonyl groups were removed by treatment of the proteins with trifluoroacetic acid. After renaturation and purification, the resultant endo-Ala63A- and endo-Ile63A-modified inhibitors co-electrophorese with modified inhibitor both on disc gels (pH 9.4) and sodium dodecyl sulfate gels (after reduction of disulfide bonds) and show end groups corresponding to the 63A residue. These derivatives fail to form stable complexes with trypsin, extending the previous observation (Kowalski, D., and Laskowski, M., Jr. (1972), Biochemistry 11, 3451) that acylation of the P1' residue in modified inhibitors leads to inactivation. However, the incubation of endo-Ala63A- and endo-Ile63A-modified inhibitors with trypsin at pH 6.5 leads to the synthesis of the Arg63-Ala63A and Arg63-Ile63A peptide bonds in 4% yield. This is very close to the yield anticipated from a semiquantitative theory for the value of the equilibrium constant for reactive-site peptide bond. An alternative chemical method of insertion is also described. Controlled treatment of modified inhibitor with the N-carboxyanhydride of Glu produced inactive endo-Glu63A-modified inhibitor. Incubation of this inactive derivative with trypsin at pH 6.5 leads to 16% synthesis of the Arg63-Glu63A peptide bond. The higher yield of single chain protein in this case is attributed to the influence of the negative charge of the Glu63A side chain. Thus, the insertion of an amino acid residue between the P1 and P1' residues in soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz) converts a trypsin inhibitor into a trypsin substrate.
