Evolutionary trace analysis of the Kunitz/BPTI family of proteins: functional divergence may have been based on conformational adjustment.

Journal of molecular biology - 29 Jan 1999

Pritchard L, Dufton M J

Abstract excerpt

The structural and functional evolution of the Kunitz/bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) family of proteins, which includes serine proteinase inhibitors and potassium channel blockers, was analysed with the evolutionary trace method. This method highlights sites in aligned primary sequences whose side-chain variation can be strongly linked with the past development of different functional classes or...
