Abstract In continuation of our studies on the inactivation of tryptophan synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by proteinases from the same organism, two protein inhibitors of the tryptophan synthase inactivating yeast proteinase B were purified from boiled bakers' yeast extract. The molecular weight of both inhibitors is 10,000 and both inhibit specifically proteinase B, but not proteinases A and C. The inhibitors form tight complexes with proteinase B. With the substrates Azocoll and N-acetyltyrosine ethyl ester, noncompetitive inhibition patterns are obtained. The inhibitors are proteins with isoelectric points of 8.0 and 7.0, respectively. They are very stable in the pH range of 1 to 10, but they are easily destroyed by incubation with proteinase A and, less effectively, with proteinase B at pH 5.0. A close molecular relationship of both inhibitors is indicated by the cross-reaction of inhibitor I with antiserum prepared against inhibitor II.
