Structural evidence for methionine at the reactive site of human alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor.

Open access
Johnson, D., Travis, J.·1978·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

An unadecapeptide, obtained by papain digestion of denatured human alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha-1-PI), has been isolated and sequenced. The structure of this fragment overlaps with the NH2-terminal sequence of modified inhibitor (alpha-1-PI) prepared from dissociated complexes of alpha-1-PI with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase. Furthermore, structural homology with the reactive centers of proteinase inhibitors from other sources is readily detectable. Methionine has been found to occupy the apparent P1 position in alpha-1-PI and the potential inactivation of the inhibitor by oxidation of this critical residue may be important in obtaining a biochemical link with the development of lung disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
