Expression of madanin-1 and chimadanin in insect cells

Synthetic genes encoding madanin-1 or chimadanin from Haemaphysalis longicornis fused to the honeybee (Apis

mellifera) mellitin secretion signal and with optimized codon usage for expression in insect cells were obtained from a

commercial supplier (GenScript). The synthetic genes were cloned into the BamHI and HindIII restriction sites of the

pKL acceptor vector (EMBL, Grenoble1) and the integrity of the resulting constructs was verified by automatic DNA

sequencing. Bacmid preparation, transfection, and protein expression were performed according to the protocol described

by Fitzgerald et al.1 Briefly, Escherichia coli DH10EmbacY competent cells were transformed with the insert-containing

acceptor vectors and positive colonies (confirmed by PCR) were used for bacmid preparation. Trichoplusia ni High Five

cells (ThermoFisher Scientific), maintained at a cell density of 0.5-1 x 106 cells/mL at 27 °C with 80 r.p.m. shaking in

Express Five serum-free medium (ThermoFisher Scientific) supplemented with 18 mM of L-glutamine, were transfected

with each of the bacmids using X-tremeGENE HP DNA transfection reagent (Roche) and kept in the dark at 27 °C

without agitation. Virus-containing culture supernatants were collected after 50-60 h and stored at 4 °C (initial virus, V0).

For protein expression, 25 mL of Trichoplusia ni High Five cells at 0.5 x 106 cells/mL were inoculated with 3 mL of

corresponding V0 virus stock and incubated at 27 °C with 80 r.p.m. shaking. Cultures were diluted at 24 h intervals to

below 1 x 106 cells/mL until cell proliferation arrest occurred, after which aliquots of 1x106 cells were collected every 12

h and used to monitor the fluorescent signal of the co-expressed reporter, YFP. A fluorescent signal intensity plateau was

reached 48-60 h after proliferation arrest. At this point, the culture supernatants (10 mL for chimadanin and 40 mL for

madanin-1) were filtered (0.22 μm), lyophilised and stored at 4 °C until further use.

Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry of insect cell culture media

25% of the lyophilised culture supernatants of madanin-1 and chimadanin were resuspended in 1 mM ammonium

bicarbonate pH 7.9 (5 mL). An aliquot (250 L) was removed and centrifuged at 14,000 x g for 5 min at 4 oC to remove

any insoluble material. The supernatant was filtered through a 30 kDa molecular weight cut-off filter and the filtrate

directly loaded onto a C18 solid-phase extraction micro column (3M empore). The column was washed with 10%

acetonitrile in water and eluted with 60% acetonitrile in water followed by vacuum centrifugation. The purified extract

was resuspended in water and analyzed on a Dionex 3500RS nanoUHPLC coupled to either a Q-Exactive plus or Orbitrap

Fusion mass spectrometer in positive mode. The mixture was separated using an in-house packed 75 μm x 40 cm pulled

column (1.9 μm particle size, C18AQ; Dr Maisch, Germany) with a gradient of 2 – 40% acetonitrile containing 0.1%

formic acid over 60 min at 250 nL min-1. An MS1 scan was acquired from 450 – 1650 m/z (140,000 resolution [Q-

Exactive Plus] or 120,000 resolution [Orbitrap Fusion]; 1e6 AGC [Q-Exactive Plus] or 5e5 AGC [Orbitrap Fusion], 100

ms injection time) followed by MS/MS data-dependent acquisition with HCD and detection in the orbitrap on the Q-

Exactive Plus (35,000 resolution, 1e5 AGC, 120 ms injection time, 32 NCE, 2.0 m/z quadrupole isolation width) or

EThcD and detection in the orbitrap on the Orbitrap Fusion (60,000 resolution, 2e5 AGC, 120 ms injection time, calibrated

charge-dependent ETD reaction times [2+ 121 ms; 3+ 54 ms; 4+ 30 ms; 5+ 20ms; 6+ 13 ms; 7+; 10 ms], 25 NCE for

HCD supplemental activation, 2.0 m/z quadrupole isolation width). All data were processed with Proteome Discoverer

(v2.1) using the Byonic node (v1.0.334)2 and manual analysis / annotation using GPMAW (Lighthouse Data, Denmark).

The precursor MS, HCD MS/MS and EThcD MS/MS tolerance were set to 20 ppm with no enzyme searching. The

peptides were searched with the following variable modifications; oxidation of methionine, deamidation of asparagine or

glutamine, sulfation of tyrosine and the modification of serine or threonine residues with a database of 78 O-linked glycan

compositions available through Byonic. A precursor isotope off set was enabled to account for incorrect precursor

monoisotopic reporting (+/- 2.0 Da).

General procedures for peptide and protein synthesis

Spectroscopic grade dimethylformamide (DMF) was obtained from Merck. Amino acids, coupling reagents and resins for

Fmoc-solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) were obtained from either Novabiochem or Bachem. SPPS was performed in

polypropylene syringes equipped with Teflon filters, purchased from Torviq. Analytical reversed-phase high-performance

liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed on a Waters System 2695 separations module with a 2996 photodiode

array detector and an Alliance series column heater set at 30 °C. A Waters Sunfire 5 μm, 2.1 × 150 mm column (C18) was

used unless otherwise indicated at a flow rate of 0.2 mL min−1 using a mobile phase of 0.1% TFA in water (Solvent A)

and 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile (Solvent B) in a linear gradient as indicated. Peptides and proteins above 3 kDa in size were

chromatographed on a Waters XBridge-BEH300 5 μm, 2.1 × 150 mm column (C18). Peptides and proteins bearing free

sulfotyrosine residues were chromatographed on a Waters XBridge-BEH300 5 μm, 2.1 × 150 mm column (C18) using a

mobile phase of 0.1 M NH4OAc (Solvent A) and acetonitrile (Solvent B) using the indicated gradient. Results were

analyzed with Waters Empower software and retention times (Rt min) of pure peptides and proteins are reported with the

gradients specified.

Preparative and semi-preparative reversed-phase HPLC was performed using a Waters 600E Multisolvent Delivery

System with a Rheodyne 7725i Injection valve (4 mL loading loop) and Waters 500 pump with a Waters 490E

programmable wavelength detector operating at 214, 230, 254 or 280 nm. Preparative reversed-phase HPLC was

performed using a Waters Sunfire C18 column (5 μm, 19 × 150 mm) at a flow rate of 7 mL min−1. Semi-preparative

reversed-phase HPLC was performed using a Waters Sunfire C18 column (5 μm, 10 × 250 mm) at a flow rate of 4 mL

min−1. Peptides and proteins above 3 kDa in size were chromatographed on a Waters XBridge-BEH300 (5 μm, 10 × 250

mm) semi-preparative column (C18). Peptides and proteins bearing free sTyr residues were purified on a Waters XBridge-

BEH300 (5 μm, 10 × 250 mm) semi-preparative column (C18) operating at a flow rate of 4 mL min−1 using a mobile

phase of 0.1 M NH4OAc (Solvent A) and acetonitrile (Solvent B) using the indicated gradient. After lyophilisation,

peptides were isolated as TFA, formate or acetate salts depending on the chromatographic eluent.

High-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) was conducted on a Shimadzu 2020 LC–MS

instrument consisting of a LC-M20A pump and a SPD-20A UV/Vis detector coupled to a Shimadzu 2020 mass

spectrometer. Separations were performed on either a Waters Sunfire C18 column (5 µm, 2.1 × 150 mm), or a XBridge-

BEH300 C18 column (5 µm, 2.1 × 150 mm) operating at a flow rate of 0.2 mL min−1 using a mobile phase of 0.1% formic

acid in water (Solvent A) and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile (Solvent B) in a linear gradient as indicated.

Fmoc-Strategy SPPS General Procedures (25 μmol scale)

Resin Loading: 2-Chlorotrityl chloride resin (1.22 mmol/g loading) was swollen in dry CH2Cl2 for 30 min then washed

with CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL). A solution of a given amino acid (Fmoc-Xaa-OH) (0.5 mmol/g resin) and iPr2NEt (2.0 equiv.

relative to resin functionalization) in CH2Cl2 (final concentration 0.1 M of amino acid) was added and the resin shaken at

room temperature for 16 h. The resin was washed with DMF (5 × 3 mL) and CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL). The resin was then

treated with a solution of CH2Cl2/CH3OH/iPr2NEt (17:2:1, v/v/v, 3 × 3 mL × 5 min) for 1 h and washed with DMF (5 × 3

7

mL), CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL), and DMF (5 × 3 mL). The resin was subsequently submitted to iterative peptide assembly via

Fmoc-SPPS (see below).

Iterative Peptide Assembly (Fmoc-SPPS)

Deprotection: The resin was treated with piperidine/DMF (1:4, v/v, 3 mL, 3 × 5 min), filtered and then washed with

DMF (5 × 3 mL), CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL) and DMF (5 × 3 mL).

Coupling (standard Fmoc-protected amino acids): A solution of protected amino acid (4 equiv.), PyBOP (4 equiv.) and

NMM (8 equiv.) in DMF (final concentration 0.1 M) was added to the resin. After 1 h, the resin was filtered and washed

with DMF (5 × 3 mL), CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL) and DMF (5 × 3 mL).

Coupling [Fmoc-Tyr(SO2OCH2C(CH3)3)-OH]: A solution of amino acid (1.2 equiv.), HATU (1.2 equiv.) and NMM

(2.4 equiv.) in DMF (final concentration 0.1 M) was added to the resin. After 18 h, the resin was filtered and washed with

DMF (5 × 3 mL), CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL) and DMF (5 × 3 mL).

Coupling [Boc-Asp(STmob,OtBu)-OH]: A solution of amino acid (1.5 equiv.), PyBOP (3.0 equiv.), and NMM (3.0

equiv.) in DMF (final concentration 0.1 M) was added to the resin (1.0 equiv.) and shaken at room temperature for 16 h.

The resin was filtered and washed with DMF (5 × 3 mL), CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL) and DMF (5 × 3 mL).

Capping: Acetic anhydride/pyridine (1:9, v/v, 3 mL) was added to the resin. After 3 min the resin was filtered and

washed with DMF (5 × 3 mL), CH2Cl2 (5 × 3 mL) and DMF (5 × 3 mL).

Peptide S1 (100 μmol) bound to 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin was prepared by standard Fmoc SPPS (by Mimotopes Pty

Ltd.) and was elongated according to Fmoc-Strategy SPPS as outlined in the general procedures to give resin-bound

fully-protected peptide S2 (Supplementary Fig. 3). Mild acidic liberation of the fully-protected peptide from the resin was

achieved using HFIP/CH2Cl2 (1:4, v/v) to give protected peptide S3, which was subsequently treated with PyBOP

(260 mg, 0.5 mmol), iPr2NEt (88 μL, 0.5 mmol), and ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate (380 μL, 3 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) at

0 °C for 3 h to afford crude thioester S4. The crude reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo for 16 h. A solution

of TFA/iPr3SiH/H2O (95:2.5:2.5, v/v/v, 20 mL) was added and the solution stirred for 90 min at room temperature. The

reaction mixture was then concentrated to ~ 2 mL and crude peptide thioester S5 precipitated from cold Et2O (45 mL).

HPLC purification (0 to 25% B over 60 min, 0.1% TFA) afforded peptide thioester S5 (22 mg, 5% yield). Analytical

Synthesis of madanin-1 thioesters

Supplementary Figure 5. Outline of the syntheses of madanin-1 (29-47) sulfopeptide thioesters 2-4.

2-Chlorotrityl chloride resin was loaded with Fmoc-Thr(tBu-OH (100 μmol, 0.5 mmol/g loading) and iterative Fmoc-

Strategy SPPS was carried out as outlined in the general procedures to give resin-bound peptide S3 (Supplementary Fig.

5). At this point the resin was split into 3 equal portions of 25 μmol and elongated in parallel, with appropriate installation

of either Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-OH or Fmoc-Tyr[SO2OCH2C(CH3)3]-OH depending on the desired sulfoform being targeted.

After coupling of Boc-Asp(STmob,OtBu)-OH,4 each protected peptide (S6, S7 and S8) was liberated from resin using

HFIP/CH2Cl2 (1:4, v/v). The fully protected crude peptides S9-S11 were each treated with PyBOP (65 mg, 125 μmol),

13

iPr2NEt (22 μL, 125 μmol), and ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate (95 μL, 0.75 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) at −30 °C for 3 h. The

crude reaction mixtures were then concentrated and dried in vacuo for 16 h. A solution of TFA/iPr3SiH/H2O (95:2.5:2.5,

v/v/v, 10 mL) was added to each crude protected peptide thioester S12-S14 and stirred for 90 min at room temperature.

The deprotection mixtures were then concentrated to ~1 mL and precipitated from ice cold Et2O (45 mL), affording crude

peptide thioesters 2–4.

Disulfated madanin-1 (22-54) fragment (S15)

Disulfated madanin-1 fragment S15 was synthesized on 2-chlorotrityl resin (12.5 µmol) according to the general Fmoc-

strategy SPPS procedures described above with the incorporation of Fmoc-Tyr[SO2OCH2C(CH3)3]-OH at Y32 and Y35.

The crude peptide was then deprotected and cleaved from the resin using TFA/iPr3SiH/H2O (90:5:5, v/v/v) for 2 h. The

crude deprotected peptide was precipitated from cold Et2O and purified by reverse-phase HPLC (0 to 70% B over 40 min,

0.1% TFA) to give the neopentyl-protected disulfated peptide which was immediately incubated in buffer (6 M Gn.HCl,

100 mM Na2HPO4, 25 mM TCEP, pH 7.0) for 48 h, at which point the neopentyl sulfate ester protecting groups had been

removed. The deprotected disulfated peptide was isolated by means of semi-preparative reverse phase HPLC (0 to 60% B

over 60 min) to give disulfated madanin-1 fragment S15 (5.0 mg, 9% yield). Analytical HPLC: Rt 12.8 min (0 to 50% B

over 30 min, λ = 230 nm). Calculated Mass [M-2H]2- : 1897.3, [M-3H]3- : 1264.5, [M-4H]4- : 948.1; Mass Found (ESI -

Supplementary Figure 6. Schematic of the kinetically controlled one-pot ligation-desulfurization synthesis of madanin-1

sulfoforms 12-14 (Figure 2 in manuscript).

Peptide trifluoroethyl-thioester 1 and peptide thioesters 2–4 were reacted in ligation buffer at pH 7.4–7.5 for 1 h. After

this time, complete ligation between the peptide fragments had occurred, as judged by HPLC-MS analysis to afford

20

ligation products 5–7 (see Supplementary Fig. 7-9). Peptide fragment 8 was added to each reaction mixture along with 2

vol.% TFET in order to effect the second ligation reaction. After 12 h of reaction time, HPLC-MS analysis indicated that

in each case the second ligation reaction had proceeded efficiently to afford the corresponding ligation products 9-11 (see

Supplementary Fig. 7-9). Following the completion of the second ligation reaction (as judged by HPLC-MS), the

reactions were degassed prior to in situ desulfurization through argon sparging. Addition of TCEP (200 mM), glutathione

(40 mM) and VA-044 (20 mM) to the reaction mixtures containing ligation products 9–11 was followed by incubation at

37 °C. After 16 h of reaction time, HPLC-MS analysis of the desulfurization reactions indicated complete conversion to

the madanin-1 sulfoforms 12-14 (see Supplementary Fig. 7-9). Purification of the sulfoproteins was achieved using

reversed-phase HPLC, employing an ammonium acetate buffer as neutral eluent to prevent acidolytic desulfation of the

final products.

Synthesis of chimadanin peptide fragments

Peptide fragments 15 and 19 were synthesized using previously reported methods.3

Supplementary Figure 10. Synthesis of peptide thioester 19 through Fmoc-SPPS.

Protected Peptide S16 corresponding to Chimadanin(2–20) was synthesized on 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin (25 μmol)

using standard Fmoc-SPPS (by Mimotopes Pty Ltd., Scheme S3). The peptide was Fmoc-deprotected with 20 vol.%

piperidine in DMF and L-pyroglutamate was subsequently coupled according to the general procedure for amino acid

coupling. The fully assembled protected peptide was then liberated from resin using 30 vol.% HFIP in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) to

give protected peptide S17. The crude peptide was subsequently treated with PyBOP (65 mg, 0.13 mmol, 5 equiv.),

iPr2NEt (22 μL, 16 mg, 0.13 mmol, 5 equiv.), and ethyl 3-mercaptopropionate (160 μL, 170 mg, 1.3 mmol, 50 equiv.) in

DMF (2 mL) at −30 °C for 3 h. At this point the reaction was quenched through addition of 0.1% TFA in CH2Cl2 (15 mL,

7.5 equiv. TFA) and the reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. A solution of TFA/iPr3SiH/H2O/thioanisole

(85:5:5:5, v/v/v/v, 10 mL) was added to the crude residue at 0 oC and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The deprotection

mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude peptide thioester was precipitated from cold Et2O

(20 mL). The crude peptide thioester was purified by preparative HPLC (0 to 50% B over 100 min, 0.1% TFA) to afford

peptide thioester 15 as the TFA salt (28 mg, 43%). Analytical HPLC: Rt 24.2 min (0 to 40% B over 30 min, 0.1% TFA,

Synthesis of Chimadanin(21–41) sulfopeptide thioesters bearing N-terminal thiazolidine (16-18)

Supplementary Figure 12. Synthesis of chimadanin thioesters (16-18)

2-Chlorotrityl chloride resin was loaded with Fmoc-Gly-OH according to the general procedures (25 μmol, 0.5 mmol/g

loading). Iterative Fmoc-Strategy SPPS was then carried out as outlined in the general procedures to give fully assembled

resin bound peptides S20-S22, in which Fmoc-Tyr(SO3nP)-OH (21 mg, 38 μmol, 1.5 eq.) was coupled at the appropriate

position(s) using HATU (14 mg, 38 μmol, 1.5 eq.) and iPr2EtN (13 μL, 10 mg, 75 μmol, 3.0 eq.) as activating reagents in

DMF. After removal of the N-Fmoc protecting group with 20% piperidine in DMF, each protected peptide was liberated

from resin using 30% HFIP in CH2Cl2 (15 mL). After concentrated in vacuo, each crude, fully protected peptide was

subsequently treated with PyBOP (65 mg, 0.13 mmol, 5 equiv.), iPr2NEt (22 μL, 16 mg, 0.13 mmol, 5 equiv.), and ethyl

3-mercaptopropionate (160 μL, 168 mg, 1.3 mmol, 50 equiv.) in DMF (2 mL) at −30 °C for 3 h. After this time, each

reaction was quenched with 0.1% TFA in CH2Cl2 (15 ml, 7.5 equiv. of TFA) and the resulting mixture was concentrated

under N2 gas. A solution of TFA/iPr3SiH/H2O/thioanisole (85:5:5:5, v/v/v, 10 mL) was then added to each crude residue

at 0 °C and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The deprotection mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and precipitated

A solution of peptide 15 (1.2 equiv.) in ligation buffer (6 M Gn.HCl, 100 mM Na2HPO4, 25 mM TCEP, adjusted to pH

6.8) was added to peptide thioester 16, 17, or 18 (1.0 equiv.). The resulting solution was carefully readjusted to pH 6.8

with 2 M NaOH followed by the addition of TFET (2 vol.%) and the reaction incubated at 30 °C for 2 h. HPLC-MS

analysis indicated complete conversion to the ligated peptide 20, 21 or 22 (see Supplementary Fig. 14-16). At this point,

the reaction mixture was diluted with 120 µL of an aqueous solution of 0.2 M MeONH2.HCl in 6 M Gn.HCl, 100 mM

Na2HPO4, pH = 3.7) to achieve a final pH of 4.2. The solution was incubated at 30 °C and after 3 h, HPLC-MS analysis

indicated the majority of peptides 20, 21 or 22 had been converted to peptides S23, S24 or S25 respectively bearing an N-

terminal cysteine residue (see Supplementary Fig. 14-16). The reaction mixture was then readjusted to pH 6.8 through

careful addition of 2 M NaOH, followed by the addition of a solution of peptide 19 (1.3 equiv.) in buffer (6 M guanidine

HCl, 100 mM Na2HPO4, 150 µL) and TFET (2 vol%). After 18 h at 30 °C, HPLC-MS analysis showed a complete

conversion to the corresponding ligation product 23, 24 or 25 (see Supplementary Fig. 14-16). A neutral solution of TCEP

(0.5 M) in buffer (6 M guanidine HCl, 100 mM Na2PO4, 500 µL) was then added to give a 200 mM concentration of

TCEP and a 0.5 mM final concentration of the ligation product. The resulting solution was adjusted to pH 6.2-6.5 and

then degassed by sparging with argon for 10 min which also removed the excess TFET from the reaction mixture.

Glutathione (40 mM), and VA–044 (20 mM) were then added in solid form and the reaction mixture was gently agitated

and incubated at 37 °C for 5 h. After this time, HPLC-MS analysis showed a complete conversion to each chimadanin

sulfoform 26, 27 or 28 (see Supplementary Fig. 14-16).

Supplementary Figure 17. Synthesis of peptide S27 through Fmoc-SPPS.

Protected peptide S26 corresponding to madanin-1 (29-54) was synthesized on Wang resin (62.5 μmol, 0.5 mmol/g

loading) using standard Fmoc-SPPS as outlined in the general procedures. The fully assembled peptide was then cleaved

from the resin with concomitant removal of the acid labile protecting groups using a solution of TFA/iPr3SiH/H2O

(90:5:5, v/v/v, 10 mL) for 2 h. The cleavage solution was then concentrated to ~1 mL and precipitated from cold Et2O (45

mL) before purification by preparative HPLC (20 to 60% B over 40 min, 0.1% TFA) to afford peptide S27 as the TFA salt

Supplementary Figure 18. Schematic of the one-pot ligation-desulfurization synthesis of madanin-1 (1-54) S29

A solution of peptide thioester S5 (3.6 mol, 15.4 mg, 1.1 equiv.) in ligation buffer (650 L, 6 M Gn.HCl, 100 mM

Na2HPO4, 25 mM TCEP, adjusted to pH 7.2) was added to madanin-1 (29-54) S27 (3.3 mol, 11.5 mg, 1.0 equiv.). The

resulting solution was carefully readjusted to pH 7.0 with 2 M NaOH followed by the addition of TFET (13 L, 2 vol.%)

and the reaction incubated at 30 °C for 2 h 40 min. HPLC-MS analysis indicated complete conversion to the ligated

peptide S28 (see Supplementary Fig. 19). A solution of TCEP (0.5 M) and glutathione (0.2 M) in buffer (100 mM

Na2PO4, 6 M Gn.HCl, pH 6.1, 650 µL) was then added to give a 0.25 M concentration of TCEP, 0.1 M concentration of

glutathione and a 2.5 mM final concentration of the ligation product. The resulting solution was adjusted to pH 6.5 and

then degassed by sparging with Ar(g) for 10 min which also removed the excess TFET from the reaction mixture. VA–044

(2.1 mg, 5 mM) were then added in solid form and the reaction mixture was gently agitated and incubated at 37 °C for 16

h. After this time, HPLC-MS analysis showed a complete conversion to madanin-1 (1-54) S29 (see Supplementary Fig.

19).

Screening for selectivity of serine protease inhibition

The inhibition activity of synthetic disulfated madanin-1 (1000-fold molar excess) was tested against α-thrombin

(Haematologic Technologies), coagulation factor Xa (New England Biolabs), trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich), and pancreatic

elastase (Sigma-Aldrich) using 100 µM of specific chromogenic substrate (Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide (Chromozym

TH; Roche) for thrombin and trypsin; N-methoxycarbonyl-D-Cha-Gly-Arg-p-nitroanilide (Pefachrome FXa; Pentapharm)

for factor Xa, and N-Succinyl-Ala-Ala-Ala-p-nitroanilide (Sigma-Aldrich) for elastase). Trypsin and factor Xa (0.1 and

0.5 nM, respectively) were assayed in 50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin at 37 °C. In the

case of factor Xa, 2mM CaCl2 was also added to the reaction mixture. The activity of elastase (10 nM) was measured in

50 mM Tris pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl, 10 % (vol/vol) DMSO, 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin at 25 °C. Reaction conditions

for thrombin are detailed in the specific section. All reactions were started by enzyme addition and monitored at 405 nm

for 30 minutes, or 10 minutes in the case of elastase and factor Xa, on a Synergy2 multi-mode microplate reader (BioTek).

The substrate hydrolysis rates of control reactions in the absence of madanin-1 were normalized to 100 %.

Supplementary Figure 20. Madanin-1 is a specific thrombin inhibitor. The inhibitory activity of disulfated madanin-1

(1000-fold molar excess) on the hydrolytic activity of four different serine proteinases was determined. Activity is

expressed as percentual residual hydrolytic activity, compared to controls in the absence of madanin-1. Error bars

represent SD of two independent experiments.

Thrombin amidolytic activity assay

The amidolytic activity of human α-thrombin (Haematologic Technologies) was followed spectrophotometrically using

Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide (Chromozym TH; Roche) as chromogenic substrate. Experimental K0.5 (app) kinetic

constants were determined for human α or γ-thrombin (both at 0.2 nM) at substrate concentrations from 0 to 450 µM in 50

mM Tris pH 8, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin. Inhibition assays were performed in the same buffer with

0.14 nM human α-thrombin, 100 μM substrate and varying concentrations (0-29 µM) of inhibitor. For human γ-thrombin

(0.2 nM), inhibition assays were performed in the presence of 0-2 µM madanin-1 or 0-10.5 µM chimadanin. Inhibition

constants (Ki) were determined according to a tight-binding inhibitor model, using the Morrison equation5 with Prism

(GraphPad Software). In the case of disulfated madanin-1 (22-54) and (1-54) fragments, a tight-binding inhibitor model

50

could not be applied. Inhibition assays for human α-thrombin (0.5 nM) were performed at increasing substrate

concentrations (0-400 μM) and different concentrations of inhibitor (0-20 nM). Ki values were determined by fitting the

data to a competitive inhibition model (Supplementary Fig. 21). For the inhibitors produced in baculovirus-infected insect

cells, 50 μl of culture supernatant (undiluted and 5- and 10-fold dilutions) were used. The culture supernatant of cells

transfected with an empty bacmid was used as control (Supplementary Fig. 22). All reactions were initiated by addition of

thrombin and were carried out at least in duplicate at 37 °C in 96-well microtiter plates. Reaction progress was monitored

at 405 nm for 30 minutes on a Synergy2 multi-mode microplate reader (BioTek).

Supplementary Figure 21. Dose-response curves for the hydrolysis of chromogenic substrate (0 to 400 μM) in the

presence of increasing concentrations (0 to 20 nM) of A) synthetic disulfated madanin-1 (22-54) fragment or B) disulfated

madanin-1 (1-54) fragment. Kinetic parameters of human α-thrombin inhibition (Ki ± SEM) given are representative of

two independent experiments. Data were fitted to a competitive inhibition model using Prism (GraphPad Software).

Supplementary Figure 22. Inhibition of the amidolytic activity of human α-thrombin by madanin-1 and chimadanin

produced in an insect cell expression system. The amidolytic activity of human α-thrombin was measured in the presence

of three different dilutions of insect cell culture supernatants of Trichopulsia ni High Five insect cells transfected with

empty pKL acceptor vector (control), pKL-madanin-1 or pKL-chimadanin vectors. The activity of human α-thrombin in

the absence of supernatant media and in the same experimental conditions was considered as 100 %. Error bars represent

51

SD of two (for pKL-madanin-1or pKL-chimadanin) or six (for pKL) replicates.

Thrombin Time (TT) Assay

The anticoagulant activities of madanin-1 and chimadanin were determined by measuring their ability to prolong clotting

of human plasma. Human plasma (800 µl) was mixed with 200 µl of synthetic madanin-1 or synthetic chimadanin

solutions (0-5 µM final concentration in 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl), and TT was measured at a commercial

diagnostics laboratory (BM Análises Clínicas) following standard protocols.

Cleavage of unsulfated and disulfated madanin-1 by human α-thrombin

The hydrolytic cleavage of synthetic unsulfated (S30) or disulfated madanin-1 (14) by thrombin between K21-V22 and

between R54-L55 was investigated as described for other thrombin substrates previously.12 Briefly, S30 or 14 (50 µM)

was incubated with human α-thrombin (1 µM) in 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl at 37 °C (Supplementary Fig.

23). At specific time points, the reaction was analyzed directly by RP-HPLC. A fast amide cleavage between residues R54

and L55 of S30 (unsulfated) afforded fragments S31 and S32, while cleavage of 14 (disulfated) afforded S29 and S32. A

subsequent slow cleavage reaction between residues K21 and V22 of S31 (unsulfated) afforded fragments S33 and S34,

while slow cleavage of S29 (disulfated) afforded fragments S33 and S15. The relative proportions of amide bond cleavage

from both proteolysis events was quantified at different times through peak integration at λ = 280 nm (UV absorption by

free tyrosine residues Y1, Y32 and Y35) of intact inhibitors and peptide fragments (Supplementary Fig. 24).

Absorption at λ = 280 nm by sulfotyrosine residues in 14, S29 and S15 was negligible compared to free tyrosine and thus

fragment S15 containing no free tyrosine was omitted from these calculations.

Crystallization of a disulfated madanin-1•human α-thrombin complex

Human α-thrombin (Haematologic Technologies) was mixed in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 125 mM NaCl with a six-fold

molar excess of disulfated madanin-1 (22-54) fragment (S15) and incubated on ice for one hour. The resulting complex

was concentrated by ultrafiltration using a 2 kDa cut-off centrifugal device (Sartorius). An initial crystallization screen at

20 °C was performed at the High Throughput Crystallization Laboratory of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory

(Grenoble, France). Preliminary crystallization conditions were optimized in-house until single crystals belonging to the

orthorhombic space group P212121 were obtained after 8-10 days using the vapor diffusion sitting-drop method from drops

consisting of equal volumes (1 μL) of protein complex (at 5.5 mg/mL) and precipitant solution (0.1 M MMT pH 7, 30%

(wt/vol) PEG 1500) equilibrated against a 300 μL reservoir.

Data collection and processing

Crystals were cryoprotected by immersing them briefly in precipitant solution with a higher content (32% (wt/vol)) of

PEG 1500 and flash-cooled in liquid nitrogen. Diffraction data (2700 images in 0.05ᵒ oscillation steps and 0.02 s

exposure) were recorded on a Pilatus 6M detector (Dectris) using a wavelength of 0.9686 Å at beam line ID296 of the

European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (Grenoble, France). Data were integrated with XDS7 and reduced with utilities

from the CCP4 program suite.8 Data collection statistics are summarized in Supplementary Table 3. The diffraction

dataset9 was deposited with the Structural Biology Data Grid.10

Structure determination and refinement

The structure of the complex was solved by molecular replacement with Phaser11 using the coordinates of free wild-type

human α-thrombin (PDB entry 3U6912). Alternating cycles of model building with Coot13 and refinement with PHENIX14

were performed until model completion (refinement statistics are summarized in Supplementary Table 3). All

crystallographic software was supported by SBGrid.15 Refined coordinates and structure factors were deposited at the

PDB with accession number 5L6N.
