Two representative Capsicum annuum PI genes (CanPI-15 and -7) comprising one and four inhibitory repeat domains, respectively, were expressed and recombinant proteins were characterized. beta-Sheet and unordered structure was found predominant in CanPI-15 while -7 also displayed the signatures of polyproline fold, as revealed by circular dichroism studies. Inhibition kinetics against bovine typsin indicated three times higher potency of CanPI-7 (K-i similar to 57 mu M) than -15 (similar to 184 mu M). Activity and structural stability of these CanPIs were revealed under various conditions of pH, temperature and denaturing agent. Structure prediction, docking studies with proteases and mass spectroscopy revealed the organization of multiple reactive site loops of multi domain PIs in space as well as the steric hindrances imposed while binding to proteases due to their close proximity.
