Functional narrative |
Inhibits trypsin; probably participates in a plant defense mechanism.
Secreted. The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin. A cyclic succinimide probably forms by loss of water between Asp-4 and Gly-5, that can then rehydrate to either the original peptide bond or to a beta-aspartyl isopeptide bond. Three isoforms of MCoTI-II are detected, two with the parent molecular weight, corresponding to the unmodified and proposed isopeptide forms, and one with a molecular weight 18 Da lower, corresponding to a succinimide cross-linked form.
This is a cyclic peptide. Belongs to the protease inhibitor I7 (squash-type serine protease inhibitor) family. (UniProt)
---------------------------------------- Protein exists as a circular protein. Residue G34 links to residue S1. Amino acid sequence of this protein is numbered in such a way as to match sequence of its linear homologues.
---------------------------------------- MCoTI-II shares structural similarity as well as high sequence identity with other linear squash trypsin inhibitors, but has low sequence identity with other cyclic knottins, in which only the cysteines (and consequently the disulfide bridges) are conserved. Cyclization likely contributes to the inhibition of degradation by exoproteases. (Felizmenio-Quimio et al , 2001; Heitz et al, 2001)

Comments |
Felizmenio-Quimio et al (2001) and Heitz et al (2001) describe the same cysteine bonding pattern that forms the knottin-type structure: C8-C25, C15-C27 and C21-C33 (Felizmenio-Quimio refers to the cysteines by Roman numerals: Cys I-Cys IV, Cys II-Cys V and Cys III-Cys VI, but the pattern is the same).
Heitz et al (2001) found that almost the entire surface of MCoTI-II is charged. They also found that this protein lacked the anti-microbial activity found in other similar trypsin inhibitors.
