title: Characterization of a tissue kallikrein inhibitor isolated from Bauhinia bauhinioides seeds: inhibition of the hydrolysis of kininogen related substrates.
abstract: Trypsin inhibitors were purified from a saline extract of Bauhinia bauhinioides seeds by ion-exchange column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, gel filtration on Superose 12 column, Mono Q ion-exchange chromatography or, alternatively, by affinity chromatography on trypsin-Sepharose. Both B. bauhinioides isolated inhibitors, BbTI-I and BbTI-II, inhibit trypsin being the dissociation constant 0.6 and 0.36 nM, respectively. BbTI-II only inhibits porcine pancreatic kallikrein hydrolysis of H-Pro-Phe-Arg-AMC (Ki 2.0 nM); the bradykinin-containing sequence LGMISLMKRPPGFSPFRSSRI-NH2 and the two kininogen related flanking quenched substrates Abz-MISLMKRP-EDDnp (Ki 2.0 nM) and Abz-FRSSRQ-EDDnp (Ki 2.5 nM).
