proteinase inhibitor/rapeseed

A new serine proteinase inhibitor, rapeseed trypsin inhibitor (RTI), has been isolated from rapeseed (Brassica napus var. oleifera) seed. The protein inhibits the catalytic activity of bovine beta-trypsin and bovine alpha-chymotrypsin with apparent dissociation constants of 3.0 x 10(-10) M and 4.1 x

Three proteinase inhibitor genes have been identified in the rapeseed (Brassica napus) genome. They are highly homologous to other genes of the mustard inhibitor (MSI) family of proteinase inhibitors characteristic of Cruciferae. In germinating seeds, only the transcript of one gene, coding for a

The three-dimensional structure of the precursor form of the Arabidopsis thaliana trypsin inhibitor (ATT(p), GenBank entry Z46816), a 68-residue (approximately 7.5 kDa) rapeseed class proteinase inhibitor, has been determined in solution at pH 5.0 and 25 degrees C by multinuclear magnetic resonance
