- The structural basis for the biological specificity of human cystatin C has been investigated. Cystatin C and other inhibitors belonging to family 2 of the cystatin superfamily interact reversibly with target peptidases, seemingly by independent affinity contributions from a wedge-shaped binding region built from two loop-forming inhibitor segments and a binding region corresponding to the N-terminal segment of the inhibitor. Human cystatin C variants with Gly substitutions for residues Arg-8, Leu-9, and/or Val-10 of the N-terminal binding region, and/or the evolutionarily conserved Trp-106 in the wedge-shaped binding region, were produced by site-directed mutagenesis and Escherichia coli expression. A total of 10 variants were isolated, structurally verified, and compared to wild-type cystatin C with respect to inhibition of the mammalian cysteine peptidases, cathepsins B, H, L, and S. Varying contributions from the N-terminal binding region and the wedge-shaped binding region to cystatin C affinity for the four target peptidases were observed. Interactions from the side chains of residues in the N-terminal binding region and Trp-106 are jointly responsible for the major part of cystatin C affinity for cathepsin L and are also of considerable importance for cathepsin B and H affinity. In contrast, for cathepsin S inhibition these interactions are of lesser significance, as reflected by a Ki value of 10(-8) M for the cystatin C variant devoid of Arg-8, Leu-9, Val-10, and Trp-106 side chains. The side chain of Val-10 is responsible for most of the affinity contribution from the N-terminal binding region, for all four enzymes. The contribution of the Arg-8 side chain is minor, but significant for cystatin C interaction with cathepsin B. The Leu-9 side chain confers selectivity to the inhibition of the target peptidases; it contributes to cathepsin B and L affinity by factors of 200 and 50, respectively, to cathepsin S binding by a factor of 5 only, and results in a 10-fold decreased affinity between cystatin C and cathepsin H.
