CHARACTERIZATION, RECOMBINANT PRODUCTION AND STRUCTURE-FUNCTION ANALYSIS OF NVCI, A PICOMOLAR METALLOCARBOXYPEPTIDASE INHIBITOR FROM THE MARINE SNAIL NERITA VERSICOLOR

A very powerful proteinaceous inhibitor of metallocarboxypeptidases has been isolated from the marine snail Nerita versicolor and characterized in depth.The most abundant of four, very similar isoforms, NvCla, was taken as reference and N-terminally sequenced to obtain a 372-nucleotide band coding for the protein cDNA.The mature protein contains 53
