Three trypsin inhibitors from Sicyos australis, have been isolated, purified and sequenced. Following protein extraction with ammonium sulphate, the mixture of inhibitors was separated from other proteins by trypsin-affinity chromatography. Subsequent purification of the individual inhibitors was accomplished by reversed-phase HPLC. The primary structures of each inhibitor were elucidated by a combination of protein sequencing and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) on both the untreated and the reduced and S-carboxymethylated inhibitors. All three inhibitors show extensive sequence similarity with inhibitors from cultivated Cucurbitaceae species, although there are a number of novel residues present. One of the inhibitors has a blocked N-terminus (pyroglutamic acid) and the use of MS-MS was crucial to the elucidation of its primary structure. ESI-MS was further used to characterize the non-covalent complex between one of the inhibitors and trypsin.
