We studied the effects of peptidylarginine deiminase, a Ca2+-dependent protein-modulating enzyme that catalyzes the deimination of arginyl residues in protein on two major trypsin inhibitors in mouse plasma. One of these inhibitors was α-1-antitrypsin and the other was a recently characterized trypsin inhibitor termed contrapsin (H. Takahara and H. Sinohara, J. Biol. Chem., 257, 2438 (1982)). The enzyme abolished the trypsin-inhibiting activity of contrapsin in a process that was pseudo-first order with the rate dependent on enzyme concentration (second order rate constant = 3.4 × 103M-1•s-1), but no detectable changes in the activity was noted for α-1-antitrypsin. Millimolar Ca2+ and dithiothreitol were absolutely required for the inactivation of contrapsin by peptidylarginine deiminase. Although no significant alterations of the charge and the size in modified contrapsin were observed, the modified inhibitor indicated that 1 arginyl residue was converted to a citrullyl residue. Modified contrapsin whose anti-tryptic activity was lost inhibited chymotrypsin much more strongly than the native inhibitor. These data suggest that a vital amino acid residue for the anti-tryptic activity of mouse contrapsin is an arginyl residue and the conversion of this arginyl residue to a citrullyl residue causes the functional changes of the inhibitor.
