Abstract
This invention provides: novel protein homologous of a Kunitz domain, which are capable of binding kallikrein; polynucleotides that encode such novel proteins; and vectors and transformed host cells containing these polynucleotides.
Claims7
A synthetic polynucleotide encoding a kallikrein binding protein of 56-60 amino acids comprising a non-naturally occurring Kunitz domain, said polynucleotide encoding:
- amino acid number 5 as Cys;
- amino acid number 13 selected from His and Pro;
- amino acid number 14 as Cys;
- amino acid number 16 selected from Ala and Gly;
- amino acid number 17 selected from Ala, Asn, and Ser;
- amino acid number 18 selected from His and Leu;
- amino acid number 19 selected from Gln, Leu, and Pro;
- amino acid number 30 as Cys;
- amino acid number 38 as Cys;
- amino acid number 51 as Cys;
- and
- amino acid number 55 as Cys;
- wherein the above amino acids are numbered to correspond to the numbering of amino acid residues of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) (SEQ ID NO:1).
