Insect silk contains protease inhibitors

Original language description

The lenght and arrangement of the B-ring, including exposure of the P1 residue, and the position of the C-terminus relative to the B-loop, are essential for the activity of the Kazal-type inhibitors. Comparison with other secreted proteinase inhibitors suggests that Thr in P1 position might confer specifity against microbial proteinases. Since SPI 1 and SPI 2 effectively inhibit bacterial and fungal proteinases they may protect silk against microbial degradation.
