摘要

The Bowman-Birk protease inhibitors have recently attracted attention for their potential as cancer preventive and suppressing agents. They contain two canonical binding loops, both consisting of nine highly conserved residues capable of inhibiting corresponding serine proteases. In this study, we cloned the cDNA of the mung bean trypsin inhibitor, one of the most studied Bowman-Birk protease inhibitors. A modified peptide, Lys33GP, with 33 residues derived from the long chain of the Lys active fragment of mung bean trypsin inhibitor, was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli as a glutathione-S-transferase fusion protein. The recombinant product was obtained with a high yield, and exhibited potent inhibitory activity. Meanwhile, a shorter peptide composed of only 16 residues (the Lys16 peptide), corresponding to the active core of the fragment, was synthesized. Both the recombinant and the synthesized peptides had the same inhibitory activity toward trypsin at a molar ratio of 1 : 1, implying that the Lys16 peptide with two disulfide bonds is possibly the essential structural unit for inhibitory activity. Using site-directed mutagenesis, the P-1 position Lys was replaced by Phe, and the resulting mutant, Lys33K/F, was determined to have potent chymotrypsin inhibitory activity. Both Lys33GP and the Lys33K/F mutant may be potential pharmaceutical agents for the prevention of oncogenesis.
