Abstract
The sequences of cDNA clones encoding the Bowman-Birk proteinase inhib itor (BBPI) and its isoinhibitors (D-II and C-II) have been identified . Nucleotide sequence homologies among these clones and between the tw o reactive domains in each clone were very high. These homologies sugg est that the BBPI and its isoinhibitor genes may have evolved from a c ommon ancestral inhibitor. Also, clone pB2 (D-II) had two identical re active sites that inhibit trypsin only, and three repetitive regions t hat are about 81 bp and initiated with ATG. It was assumed from these results that isoinhibitor D-II was the most primordial type of these i nhibitors.
