Abstract:
Carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) inhibitor I(C) is a naturally occurring serine carboxypeptidase inhibitor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the sequence of which is not homologous with any other known proteinase inhibitor and is classified as the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP). I(C) has been crystallized in complex with the deglycosylated form of CPY by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique with ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. The crystals of the complex belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 81.13, b = 186.6, c = 65.14 A. Diffraction data were collected to 2.7 A resolution. Structure determination of the complex is in progress by the molecular-replacement method using the structure of CPY as a search model.
