The C-terminal Kunitz-type domain from the alpha 3 chain of human type VI, collagen (C5), a single 58 amino acid residue chain with three disulfide, bridges, was cloned, expressed and crystallized in a monoclonic form, space group P2(1), with a = 25.7 A, b = 38.2 A, c = 28.8 A and beta = 109, degrees. The structure was resolved by molecular replacement, using, Alzheimer's protein precursor inhibitor and bovine pancreatic trypsin, inhibitor three-dimensional structures as search models. The molecule with, one sulfate ion and 43 associated water molecules was refined by XPLOR to, an R-factor of 18.9% at 1.6 A. The molecule was not degraded by trypsin, and did not inhibit trypsin or tested serine proteases. As opposed to the, other Kunitz family members, C5 demonstrates left-handed chirality of the, Cys14-Cys38 disulfide bond. Inversion of the Thr13 carbonyl and bulky, side-chains at the interface with trypsin in a model of the C5-trypsin, complex may explain the lack of inhibition of trypsin.
