α1-Antichymotrypsin is an acute phase protein that protects the tissues from damage by proteolytic enzymes, but previous studies have shown that α1-antichymotrypsin within the lungs of patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema is intact but inactive as an inhibitor. Ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by blue Sepharose and DNA-Sepharose chromatography was used to isolate small amounts of intact, monomeric but inactive α1-antichymotrypsin from the plasma of 30 healthy blood donors. This species had a higher DNA binding affinity with more anodal electrophoretic mobility than native α1-antichymotrypsin and was conformationally stable against thermal denaturation, 8 m urea, and 7 mguanidinium chloride. The protein was unable to accept synthetic reactive loop peptides, and the reactive loop was resistant to proteolytic cleavage at the P5–P4 bond but could be cleaved between P1′ and P3′. These data suggest that this new α1-antichymotrypsin species was in a conformation similar to those of the crystallographically determined latent serpins, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and antithrombin. α1-Antichymotrypsin from lung lavage migrated with the same electrophoretic mobility as the putative latent α1-antichymotrypsin, suggesting that this is the inactive conformation described previously in the lungs of patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This conformational transition of α1-antichymotrypsin, from an active to an inactive state, within the lung may play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic lung disease.
