3.4.22.33 Ca2+ noncompetitive inhibition at pH 3.5, while both K-and V-type activations of bromelain are observed in the presence of 0.5 mM Ca2+ at pH 4.5 and pH 7.5 15 3.4.22.33 Cu2+ 12% residual activity at 0.16 mM 19 3.4.22.33 Cu2+ inhibits casein degradation, complete inhibition 19 3.4.22.33 Cu2+ reduces activity 19 3.4.22.33 Cu2+ competitive inhibition at pH 3.5 with 0.6 mM Cu2+, which changes to an uncompetitive inhibition at pH 4.5 and pH 7.5 19 3.4.22.33 cystatin - 1600 3.4.22.33 cystatin an extended AE-rich N-terminal trunk in secreted pineapple cystatin enhances inhibition of fruit bromelain and is posttranslationally removed during ripening, The AE-rich N-terminal trunk is required to inhibit fruit bromelain (above 95%), whereas its removal decreases inhibition to 20%. Recombinant cystatin containing the complete AE-rich N-terminal trunk and recombinant medium pineapple cystatin effectively inhibit bromelain compared to recombinant core pineapple cystatin 1600 3.4.22.33 Fe3+ reduces activity 70 3.4.22.33 Hg2+ 14% residual activity at 0.16 mM 33 3.4.22.33 Hg2+ inhibits casein degradation, complete inhibition 33
