英文摘要Eglin c with mutants L45R and D42R at the P-1 and P-4 positions has been reported to become a stable inhibitor toward the proprotein convertases (PC), furin and kexin, with a K-i of 2.3 x 10(-8) and 1.3 x 10(-10) M, respectively. The mutant was further engineered at the P-2'-P-4' positions to create a more potent and selective inhibitor for each enzyme. The residue Asp at P-1' which is crucial for stabilizing the conformation of eglin c remained unchanged. The eglin c mutants cloned into the vector pGEX-2T and expressed in Escherichia coli (DH5alpha) were purified to homogeneity, and their inhibitory activities toward the purified recombinant furin and kexin were examined. The results showed that (1) Leu47 at P-2' replaced with either a positively or negatively charged residue resulted in a decrease in inhibitory activities to both enzymes; (2) the replacement of Arg with Asp at P-3' was favorable for inhibiting furin with a K-i of 7.8 x 10(-9) M, but not for inhibiting kexin; (3) the replacement of Tyr with Glu at P-4' increased the inhibitory activity to kexin with a K-i of 3 x 10(-11) M, but was almost without any influence on furin inhibition. It was indicated that the inhibitory specificity of eglin c could be changed from inhibiting elastase to inhibiting PCs by site-directed mutation at the P positions, while the inhibitory selectivity to furin or kexin could be optimized by mutation at the P' positions.
