THROMBIN INHIBITOR FROM THEONALLA, CYCLOTHEANAMIDE-BASED MACROCYCLIC TRIPEPTIDE MOTIF
OverviewOverview
The macrocyclic peptide cyclotheonamide A (CtA), isolated from the marine, sponge Theonella sp., represents an unusual class of serine protease, inhibitor. A complex of this inhibitor with human alpha-thrombin, a, protease central to the bioregulation of thrombosis and hemostasis, was, studied by x-ray crystallography. This work (2.3-A resolution) confirms, the structure of CtA and reveals intimate details about its molecular, recognition within the enzyme active site. Interactions due to the, "Pro-Arg motif" (Arg occupancy of the S1 specificity pocket; formation of, a hydrogen-bonded two-strand antiparallel beta-sheet with Ser214-Gly216), and the alpha-keto amide group of CtA are primarily responsible for, binding to thrombin, with the alpha-keto amide serving as a, transition-state ...
