What is Structure-Function Relationship of Bromelain Isoinhibitors from Pineapple Stem about?
Bromelain isoinhibitors from pineapple stem (BIs) are unique double-chain inhibitors and inhibit the cysteine proteinase bromelain competitively. The threedimensional structure was shown to be composed of two distinct domains, each of which is formed by a three-stranded anti-parallel -sheet. Unexpectedly, BIs were found to share similar folding and disulfidebond connectivities not with the cystatin superfamily, but with Bowman-Birk trypsin/chymotrypsin inhibitor (BBI). The structural similarity between them suggests that BIs and BBI have evolved from a common ancestor and differentiated in function during the course of molecular evolution.
