摘要: Proteinase K (EC 3.4.21.14) from the fungus Tritirachium album Limber is most active known serine endopeptidase. The sequence of its 275-residue long polypeptide chain and three-dimensional folding show a high degree homology with bacterial subtilisin proteases. Using difference Fourier methods, binding mode synthetic carbobenzoxy-Ala-Ala-chloromethyl ketone inhibitor to site proteinase was determined. In several cycles restrained least-squares, enzyme-inhibitor complex refined current R = 22% for 9400 X-ray diffraction data between 2.2 5.0 A resolution. attached by two covalent bonds: one methylene carbon N epsilon 2 catalytic His 68, other atom O gamma Ser 221. addition, hydrogen bonds donated peptide NH 221 side NH2 Asn 160 hold hemiketal O- in oxyanion hole. further bonded three-stranded antiparallel pleated sheet.
