Abstract

The interaction of Kunitz-type peptide, HMIQ3c1, from the sea anemone Heteractis magnifica with several serine proteases, including inflammatory proteases, was investigated using the surface plasmon resonance approach. We showed that the recombinant analog of HMIQ3c1 forms sufficiently strong complexes with trypsin (KD = 1.07 × 10–9 М) and chymotrypsin (KD = 4.70 × 10–8 М). Analysis of thermodynamic parameters of HMIQ3c1/chymotrypsin revealed significant contribution of the entropic factor to the complex formation. The formation of specific complexes of HMIQ3c1 with the kallikrein (KD = 2.81 × 10–8 М) and neutrophil elastase (KD = 1.11 × 10–7 М) indicates its anti-inflammatory activity and makes prospects to use the peptide as a potential therapeutic agent.
