Protease inhibitors play key roles in physiological processes. Arrowhead protease inhibitor A (API-A), a member of the serine protease inhibitor family, can inhibit two trypsin molecules simultaneously. In the present work, API-A from Sagittaria sagittifolia has been cloned, expressed, purified and crystallized in complex with bovine trypsin. The crystals were obtained by the sitting-drop method. A data set was collected to 2.48 A resolution from a single crystal. The crystal belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 76.63, b = 110.86, c = 152.99 A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees .
蛋白酶抑制剂在生理过程中发挥着关键作用。慈菇蛋白酶抑制剂A(API-A)是丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂家族的成员之一,能够同时抑制两个胰蛋白酶分子。在本研究中,已从慈姑中克隆、表达、纯化了API-A,并使其与牛胰蛋白酶形成复合物进行结晶。晶体通过坐滴法获得。从单晶收集到分辨率为2.48 Å的数据集。该晶体属于空间群C222(1),晶胞参数为a = 76.63,b = 110.86,c = 152.99 Å,α = β = γ = 90°。
