UNLABELLED Serine proteases play important roles in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes. Moreover, serine proteases are classical subjects for studies of catalytic and inhibitory mechanisms of enzymes. Here, we determined the crystal structures of a serine protease, murine plasma kallikrein (mPK), and its complex with a peptidic inhibitor. Although mPK in the complex adopts a canonical protease structure, the apo-mPK exhibits a previously unobserved structural feature: the entrance of the intact S1 pocket is blocked by Glu217. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations and functional assays support the flexibility of Glu217 and suggest that this flexibility plays a role in regulating the activity of serine proteases. ENZYMES EC: 3.4.21.34.
