The recently identified fungal protease inhibitors cnispin, from Clitocybe nebularis, and cospin, from Coprinopsis cinerea, are both beta-trefoil proteins highly specific for ttypsin. The reactive site residue of cospin, Arg27, is located on the beta 2-beta 3 loop. We show here, that the reactive site residue in cnispin is Lys127, located on the beta 11-beta 12 loop. Cnispin is a substrate-like inhibitor and the beta 11-beta 12 loop is yet another beta-trefoil fold loop recruited for serine protease inhibition. By site-directed mutagenesis of the P1 residues in the beta 2-beta 3 and beta 11-beta 12 loops in cospin and cnispin, protease inhibitors with different specificities for trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibition have been engineered. Double headed inhibitors of trypsin or trypsin and chymotrypsin were prepared by introducing a second specific site residue into the beta 2-beta 3 loop in cnispin and into the beta 11-beta 12 loop in cospin. These results show that beta-trefoil protease inhibitors from mushrooms exhibit broad plasticity of loop utilization in protease inhibition. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
