| Description |
Trypsin inhibitors (TI) from seeds of a Mediterranean (Kabuli) chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.) were isolated using trypsin-Sepharose 6B affinity chromatography and found to constitute 5.03% of extractable seed protein. The TI consisted predominantly of low mol. wt. spp., estimated at 9000 and 8000 Dalton by disc gel electrophoresis. Polypeptides in these regions of the gel were preferentially labelled by -3-5SO4-2-- fed via the cut stem to fruiting stalks of chick pea plants. A molar ratio of 1.8 was determined for the inhibition of trypsin by these inhibitors, whereas chymotrypsin was almost uninhibited. They are therefore `double-headed' inhibitors with both sites specific for trypsin, rather than with one site specific for each of trypsin and chymotrypsin, as reported for other lines of chick pea. Thus TI may contribute to the quality of the albumin fraction of chick pea seeds with respect to their contents of essential amino acids, and their failure to affect chymotrypsin. [From En summ.]
