Pre-elafin is a tight-binding inhibitor of neutrophil elastase and myeloblastin; two enzymes thought to contribute to tissue damage in lung emphysema. Previous studies have established that pre-elafin is also an effective anti-inflammatory molecule. However, it is not clear whether both functions are linked to the antipeptidase activity of pre-elafin. As a first step toward elucidating the structure/function relationship of this protein, we describe here the construction and characterization of pre-elafin variants with attenuated antipeptidase potential. In these mutants, the P1′ methionine residue of the inhibitory loop is replaced by either a lysine (pre-elafinM25K) or a glycine (pre-elafinM25G) residue. Both mutated variants are stable and display biochemical properties undistinguishable from WT (wild-type) pre-elafin. However, compared with WT pre-elafin, their inhibitory constants are increased by one to four orders of magnitude toward neutrophil elastase, myeloblastin and pancreatic elastase, depending on the variants and enzymes tested. As suggested by molecular modelling, this attenuated inhibitory potential correlates with decreased van der Waals interactions between the variants and the enzymes S1′ subsite. In elastase-induced experimental emphysema in mice, only WT pre-elafin protected against tissue destruction, as assessed by the relative airspace enlargement measured using lung histopathological sections. Pre-elafin and both mutants prevented transient neutrophil alveolitis. However, even the modestly affected pre-elafinM25K mutant, as assayed in vitro with small synthetic substrates, was a poor inhibitor of the neutrophil elastase and myeloblastin elastolytic activity measured with insoluble elastin. We therefore conclude that full antipeptidase activity of pre-elafin is essential to protect against lung tissue lesions in this experimental model.

A general treatment of very tight-binding inhibition is described. It was applied to purified endogenous RNAase inhibitor from rat testis. This treatment discriminates among the different types of inhibition and allows for calculation of the inhibition parameters. When very tight-binding inhibitions are studied at similar molar concentrations of both enzyme and inhibitor, a further approach is required. This is also described and applied to the RNAase inhibitor. A Ki value of 3.2 x 10(-12) M was found for this inhibitor protein. On the basis of this result, it was considered inappropriate to classify this type of inhibitor in terms of competitive or non-competitive, as has been done for such inhibitors so far. Functional consequences of this analysis are discussed for the RNAase-RNAase inhibitor system.
