Resumo
Two Bowman-Birk type trypsin inhibitors (CmTI1 and CmTI2) were purified from Cratylia mollis seeds by acetone precipitation, ion exchange, gel filtration and reverse-phase chromatography. CmTI1 and CmTI2, with 77 and 78 amino acid residues, respectively, were sequenced in their entirety and show a high structural similarity to Bowman-Birk inhibitors from other Legummosae. the putative reactive sites of CmTI1 are a lysine residue at position 22 and a tyrosine residue at position 49. Different reactive sites, as identified by their alignment with related inhibitors, were found for CmTI2: lysine at position 22 and leucine at position 49. the dissociation constant K-i of the complex with trypsin is 1.4 nM. the apparent molecular mass is 17 kDa without DDT and 11 kDa with reducing agent and heating.
