    Abstract

    Potato cathepsin D inhibitor (PDI) is a glycoprotein of 188 amino acids which can inhibit both the aspartic protease cathepsin D and the serine protease trypsin. Here we report the first X-ray structure of PDI at a resolution of 2.1 Å showing that PDI adopts a β-trefoil fold, which is typical of the Kunitz-family protease inhibitors, with the inhibitory loops protruding from the core. Possible reactive-site loops including one involving a unique disulphide and another involving a protruding 310 helix are identified and docking studies indicate the mode of action this unusual bi-functional inhibitor.
