Three yeast proteins that specifically inhibit yeast proteases A, B, and C

Baker's yeast was found to contain inhibitors of yeast proteases A and C. These two proteins were partially purified, characterized, and compared with the previously described inhibitor of protease B. The A and B inhibitors were very thermostable and were extracted from intact yeast cells at 9k C. The A inhibitor appeared to be a protein with a molecular weight of about 22,000 which could be dissociated into two monomers or chains, both of which had a molecular weight of approximately 11,000. The protease C (carboxypeptidase Y)-inhibitor complex was purified and then partially disociated on an ion-exchange column. The free protease C inhibitor was very unstable, possibly because of destruction by a contaminating protease. Each inhibitor was specific for its corresponding protease and each inhibition was competitive. Whereas proteases A, B, and C destroyed the B inhibitor, only protease B had a pronounced destructive effect on the protease A inhibitor. Pepstatin was found to be a selective inhibitor of protease A, whereas chymostatin and antipain specifically inhibited protease B.
