Novel procedures for structural analysis of the 'reactive-centre' residues, particularly the P1 residue, of the dysfunctional C1-inhibitor proteins found in the plasmas of type II hereditary angio-oedema (HAE) patients are described. C1-inhibitor is adsorbed directly from plasma on to Sepharose-anti-(C1 inhibitor) beads. The P1 residue of C1 inhibitor is arginine and hence a potential cleavage site for trypsin. Thus trypsin digestion of the immobilized protein, followed by SDS/PAGE of the released fragments, identifies P1 residue mutations. Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase digestion of the immobilized protein, followed by purification of the released C-terminal peptide (by h.p.l.c.) and N-terminal sequence analysis defines the new P1 residue (or other mutations in the reactive-centre region). The techniques are both rapid and highly sensitive, requiring only 400 microliters of plasma. In addition, they permit accurate assessment of the level of normal (functional) inhibitor in a subclass of type II HAE plasmas, those containing P1-residue mutant proteins.
