Crystal structure of tomato inhibitor-II in a ternary complex with subtilisin Carlsberg
Structural highlights
FunctionSUBC_BACLI Subtilisin is an extracellular alkaline serine protease, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptide amides (Ref.4, PubMed:11109488). Shows high specificity for aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids in the P1 substrate position (PubMed:11109488). May play an important role in the degradation of feather keratin (PubMed:11109488).[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedMultidomain proteinase inhibitors play critical roles in the defense of plants against predation by a wide range of pests. Despite a wealth of structural information on proteinase-single domain inhibitor interactions, the structural basis of inhibition by multidomain proteinase inhibitors remains poorly understood. Here we report the 2.5-A resolution crystal structure of the two-headed tomato inhibitor-II (TI-II) in complex with two molecules of subtilisin Carlsberg; it reveals how a multidomain inhibitor from the Potato II family of proteinase inhibitors can bind to and simultaneously inhibit two enzyme molecules within a single ternary complex. The N terminus of TI-II initiates the folding of Domain I (Lys-1 to Cys-15 and Pro-84 to Met-123) and then completes Domain II (Ile-26 to Pro-74) before coming back to complete the rest of Domain I (Pro-84 to Met-123). The two domains of TI-II adopt a similar fold and are arranged in an extended configuration that presents two reactive site loops at the opposite ends of the inhibitor molecule. Each subtilisin molecule interacts with a reactive site loop of TI-II through the standard, canonical binding mode. Remarkably, a significant distortion of the active site of subtilisin is induced by the presence of phenylalanine in the P1 position of reactive site loop II of TI-II. The structure of the TI-II.(subtilisin)2 complex provides a molecular framework for understanding how multiple inhibitory domains in a single Potato II type proteinase inhibitor molecule from the Potato II family act to inhibit proteolytic enzymes.
