Publication Abstract from PubMed Venoms from crotalid and viperid snakes contain several peptide inhibitors which regulate the proteolytic activities of their snake-venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) in a reversible manner under physiological conditions. In this report, we describe the high-resolution crystal structures of a SVMP, TM-3, from Taiwan habu (Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus) cocrystallized with the endogenous inhibitors pyroGlu-Asn-Trp (pENW), pyroGlu-Gln-Trp (pEQW) or pyroGlu-Lys-Trp (pEKW). The binding of inhibitors causes some of the residues around the inhibitor-binding environment of TM-3 to slightly move away from the active-site center, and displaces two metal-coordinated water molecules by the C-terminal carboxylic group of the inhibitors. This binding adopts a retro-manner principally stabilized by four possible hydrogen bonds. The Trp indole ring of the inhibitors is stacked against the imidazole of His143 in the S-1 site of the proteinase. Results from the study of synthetic inhibitor analogues showed the primary specificity of Trp residue of the inhibitors at the P-1 site, corroborating the stacking effect observed in our structures. Furthermore, we have made a detailed comparison of our structures with the binding modes of other inhibitors including batimastat, a hydroxamate inhibitor, and a barbiturate derivative. It suggests a close correlation between the inhibitory activity of an inhibitor and its ability to fill the S-1 pocket of the proteinase. Our work may provide insights into the rational design of small molecules that bind to this class of zinc-metalloproteinases.
