Starting from the primary structure of sunflower trypsin inhibitor SFTI-1, we designed novel non-covalent inhibitors of human and yeast 20S proteasomes. Peptides with Arg residue in P1 position and two basic amino acid residues (Lys or/and Arg) in P2' and P3' positions strongly inhibited chymotrypsin-like and caspase-like activities, while trypsin-like activity was poorly modified. We found that some SFTI-1 analogues up-regulated exclusively the chymotrypsin-like activity of latent yeast 20S proteasome.
从向日葵胰蛋白酶抑制剂SFTI-1的一级结构出发,我们设计了新型的人源和酵母20S蛋白酶体非共价抑制剂。在P1位置含有精氨酸残基且在P2'和P3'位置含有两个碱性氨基酸残基(赖氨酸或/和精氨酸)的肽段能强烈抑制类胰凝乳蛋白酶和类半胱天冬酶活性,而类胰蛋白酶活性则很少被改变。我们发现一些SFTI-1类似物仅上调潜在酵母20S蛋白酶体的类胰凝乳蛋白酶活性。
