Previous crystal structures of thrombin indicate that the 60-insertion, loop is a rigid moiety that partially occludes the active site, suggesting, that this structural feature plays a decisive role in restricting, thrombin's specificity. This restricted specificity is typified by the, experimental observation that thrombin is not inhibited by micromolar, concentrations of basic pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI). Surprisingly, a single atom mutation in thrombin (E192Q) results in a 10(-8) M affinity, for BPTI. The crystal structure of human thrombin mutant E192Q has been, solved in complex with BPTI at 2.3 A resolution. Binding of the Kunitz, inhibitor is accompanied by gross structural rearrangements in thrombin., In particular, thrombin's 60-loop is found in a significantly different, conformation. Concomitant reorganization of other surface loops that, surround the active site, i.e. the 37-loop, the 148-loop and the 99-loop, is observed. Thrombin can therefore undergo major structural, reorganization upon strong ligand binding. Implications for the, interaction of thrombin with antithrombin and thrombomodulin are, discussed.
