THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF A RECOMBINANT VARIANT OF HUMAN PANCREATIC SECRETORY TRYPSIN INHIBITOR (KAZAL TYPE)
Structural highlights
DiseaseISK1_HUMAN Defects in SPINK1 are a cause of pancreatitis (PCTT) [MIM:167800. A disease characterized by the presence of calculi in pancreatic ducts. It causes severe abdominal pain attacks.[1] [2] [3] Defects in SPINK1 are the cause of susceptibility to tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) [MIM:608189. TCP is an idiopathic, juvenile, nonalcoholic form of chronic pancreatitis widely prevalent in several tropical countries. It can be associated with fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) depending on both environmental and genetic factors. TCP differs from alcoholic pancreatitis by a much younger age of onset, pancreatic calcification, a high incidence of insulin dependent but ketosis resistant diabetes mellitus, and an exceptionally high incidence of pancreatic cancer.[4] [5] FunctionISK1_HUMAN This is a trypsin inhibitor, its physiological function is to prevent the trypsin-catalyzed premature activation of zymogens within the pancreas. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedA modified version of the human pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), generated in a protein-design project, has been crystallized in spacegroup P4(3) with lattice constants a = 40.15 A, c = 33.91 A. The structure has been solved by molecular replacement. Refinement of the structure by simulated annealing and conventional restrained least-squares yielded for 8.0 to 2.3 A data a final R-value of 19.1%. Differences to the known structures of porcine PSTI complexed with trypsinogen and modified human PSTI complexed with chymotrypsinogen occur at the flexible N-terminal part of the molecule. These differences are influenced by crystal packing, as are low temperature factors for the binding loop. The geometry of the binding loop is similar to the complexed structures.
