The Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor from seeds of Flamboyant (Delonix regia) has been purified to homogeneity and plate-like crystals suitable for X-ray analysis have been grown by the hanging-drop method using PEG 6000 as a precipitant. The crystals belong to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell parameters a = 32.15, b = 69.39, c = 72.54 A. X-ray diffraction data have been collected to 2.95 A resolution. The structure has been solved by molecular replacement using the known structures of trypsin inhibitors from Erythrina caffra seeds (PDB code 1tie) and from soya beans (Glycine max; PDB code 1ba7) as search models.

Plant protease inhibitors are a ubiquitous feature of plant species and exert a substantial influence on plant stress responses. However, the (Kunitz trypsin inhibitor) family responding to abiotic stress has not been fully characterized in . In this study, we conducted a genome-wide study of the family and analyzed their gene structure, gene duplication, conserved motifs, cis-acting elements, and response to stress treatment.

Trypsin inhibitors are known to act against insect pests by inhibiting proteases of the digestive tract. In this study, we report structural and functional characterization of ∼ 19 kDa Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor (ApKTI) protein with potential bio-insecticidal applications. Crystal structure of ApKTI protein has been refined to 1.
