title: Trypsin inhibitors from bottle gourd (Lagenaria leucantha Rusby var. Depressa Makino) seeds. Purification and amino acid sequences.
abstract: Two almost identical trypsin isoinhibitors, LLDTI-I and LLDTI-II, from bottle gourd (Lagenaria leucantha Rusby var. Depressa Makino) seeds were purified by acetone precipitation, gel filtration and reversed phase chromatography. LLDTI-I and LLDTI-II consist of 30 and 29 amino acid residues, respectively, and have identical sequences, except that LLDTI-I has one additional pyroglutamic acid residue at N-terminus. Both proteins are strong inhibitors of bovine trypsin, with Ki values of 2.4.10(-10) M (LLDTI-I) and 9.6.10(-11) M (LLDTI-II). Amino acid sequences are as follows: [sequence: see text]
