Kinetic characteristics and effects on the growth of filamentous fungi of one of the main anionic protease inhibitors, BWI-1, isolated from buckwheat seeds, have been studied. The inhibition constants of bovine trypsin, chymotrypsin and cathepsin G from human granulocytes with BWI-1 were found to be 1.1, 67 and 200 nM, respectively. Analysis of the amino acid sequence of BWI-1 in the vicinity of the reactive site revealed its homology to the potato proteinase inhibitor I family. It is suggested that the inability of BWI-1 to bind elastase of human granulocytes is due to the basic nature of the amino acid residue (Arg) at the P position in its reactive site. It was demonstrated that BWI-1 was able to suppress the germination of the spores and the growth of the mycelium of two filamentous fungi.
对从荞麦种子中分离出的一种主要阴离子蛋白酶抑制剂BWI-1的动力学特性及其对丝状真菌生长的影响进行了研究。发现BWI-1对牛胰蛋白酶、胰凝乳蛋白酶和人粒细胞组织蛋白酶G的抑制常数分别为1.1、67和200 nM。对BWI-1活性位点附近的氨基酸序列分析表明,它与马铃薯蛋白酶抑制剂I家族具有同源性。有人认为,BWI-1不能与人粒细胞弹性蛋白酶结合是由于其活性位点P位置的氨基酸残基(Arg)具有碱性。结果表明,BWI-1能够抑制两种丝状真菌的孢子萌发和菌丝生长。
