Wheat germ contains an inhibitor for proteinase K, called PK13 (Mr approximately 19,600) which simultaneously inhibits alpha-amylase. PK13 was crystallized, space group P21, a = 43.02 (5) A, b = 65.18 (7) A, c = 32.33 (4) A, beta = 112.79 degrees (9), X-ray data were collected to 2.5 A resolution, the structure solved by molecular replacement on the basis of the atomic coordinates of the homologous Erythrina caffra DE-3 inhibitor, and refined with simulated annealing techniques with a current R-factor of 21%. The three-dimensional structure of PK13 is stabilised by two disulfide bridges and has a central beta-barrel with distorted beta-structure. In analogy to related inhibitors, the binding site for proteinase K is assumed to be located on the surface of the protein (amino acid residues 66-67), although the 75-76 peptide bond is cleaved upon binding.
