Abstract

A lysine-rich serine protease inhibitor, isolated from barley (H. vulgare, var. Hiproly) which inhibits subtilisin strongly, chymotrypsin weaker, but not trypsin, is shown to be homologous with potato inhibitor I (Richardson andCossins, FEBS Lett. 52, 161 (1975)) (45% of the amino acids in identical positions). The barley inhibitor seems to be the first example described of a protease inhibitor from higher plants in which the structure and reactive site is not stabilized by disulfide bonds.
