Frog skin secretions contain complex peptidomes and peptidic protease inhibitors that are one of the biologically and structurally described groups of components. In the present study, by use of molecular 'shotgun' cloning and LC MS/MS fractionation sequencing, a novel Bowman-Birk-type heptadecapeptide (AALKGCWTKSIPPKPCF-amide), named Odorrana schmackeriTrypsin Inhibitor (OSTI), with a canonical Cys6-Cys16 disulfide bridge, was isolated and identified in piebald odorous frog (O. schmackeri) skin secretion. A synthetic replicate of OSTI-exhibited trypsin inhibitory activity with a Ki value of 0.3 ± 0.04 nM and also a tryptase inhibitory effect with a Ki of 2.5 ± 0.6 μM. This is the first time that this property has been reported for a peptide originating from amphibian sources. In addition, substituting lysine (K) with phenylalanine (F) at the presumed P1 position, completely abrogated the trypsin and tryptase inhibition, but produced a strong chymotrypsin inhibition with a Ki of 1.0 ± 0.1 μM. Thus, the specificity of this peptidic protease inhibitor could be optimized through modifying the amino acid residue at the presumed P1 position and this novel native OSTI, along with its analogue, [Phe9]-OSTI, have expanded the potential drug discovery and development pipeline directed towards alleviation of serine protease-mediated pathologies.

The Office of Scientific and Technical Information's mission is to advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to Department of Energy (DOE) researchers and the public. At OSTI you can find research results and science information from the Manhattan Project to the present, download documents, view energy citations, discover patents and e-prints, read about ongoing research projects and amazing accomplishments, search science conference proceedings and software, and connect to U.S. and global science portals. You can do this by using special online tools, such as: * Key Resources * DOE Science Accelerator * Science.gov * WorldWideScience.org Strategies for accomplishing the OSTI mission: * Collaborate within DOE through the Scientific and Technical Information Program to develop and maintain efficient, state-of-the-art access and delivery of research results. * Partner with others to facilitate alliances for national and international cooperation and information exchange. * Develop, deliver, and maintain customized information products and services for a variety of constituencies. * Implement Department-wide STI policy and best business practices. * Preserve STI, in tangible copies or electronically, as appropriate. * Accelerate the diffusion of knowledge to advance science. OSTI develops and maintains search tools that use a special technology called federated search.
