摘要： Background Kazal-type serine protease inhibitors play a role in physiological processes such as blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. The amino acid residues at the P1 site are different, and they inhibit different types of proteases. The inhibitory mechanism of the protease in the salivary glands of Poecilobdella manillensis is still unclear. Methods and results Based on cloning, prokaryotic expression and bioinformatics analysis, we studied the role of Kazal-type serine protease inhibitors in P. manillensis and analyzed their expression by quantitative real-time PCR. The results suggested that the recombinant protein was successfully expressed in the supernatant when a prokaryotic expression vector was constructed and induced with 0.2 mmol/L IPTG at 37 degrees C for 4 h, and the enzymatic activity was determined. The mature protein encodes 91 amino acids and has a relative molecular weight of 9929.32 Da, and after removing the signal peptide, the theoretical isoelectric point was 8.79. It is an unstable protein without a transmembrane domain. The mature protein contains two Kazal-type domains, in which all P1 residues are Lys, consisting of an alpha helix and three antiparallel beta sheets. The upregulated expression of the mRNA was induced after a meal was provided, and the results showed an increasing and then decreasing trend. Conclusions Taken together, the results indicate that mature proteins from P. manillensis inhibit thrombin activity, laying the foundation for the subsequent in-depth study of the function of genes encoding Kazal-type serine protease inhibitors.
