TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Interaction between duodenase and alpha1-proteinase inhibitor JO - Biochemistry (Moscow) A1 - Gladysheva, I. P. A1 - Popykina, N. A. A1 - Zamolodchikova, T. S.

SP - 682 EP - 687 VL - 66 IS - 6 N2 - The interaction between duodenase, a newly recognized serine proteinase belonging to the small group of Janus-faced proteinases, and alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI) from human serum was investigated. The stoichiometry of the inhibition was 1.2 mol/mol. The presence of a stable enzyme-inhibitor complex was shown by SDS-PAGE. The mechanism of interaction between duodenase and alpha1-PI was shown to be of the suicide type. The equilibrium and inhibition constants are 13 +/- 3 nM and (1.9 +/- 0.3).105 M-1.sec-1, respectively. Based on the association rate constant of the enzyme-inhibitor complex and localization of duodenase and alpha1-PI in identical compartments, alpha1-PI is suggested to be a duodenase inhibitor in vivo.
