Synthesis and Evaluation of New Substrate Analogues of Streptomyces R61 dd-Peptidase: Dissection of a Specific Ligand
摘要:
Good substrates of the Streptomyces R61 DD-peptidase, such as glycyl-L-alpha-amino-epsilon-pimelyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine, 1 (Anderson, J. W.; Pratt, R. F. Biochemistry 2000,39,12200-12209), contain the glycyl-L-alpha-amino-E-pimelyl side chain. A number of thia variants of this structure have been synthesized by means of a disconnection strategy whereby the appropriate thiols were reacted with either acryloyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine or haloalkanoyl-D-alanyl-D-alanines. Kinetics studies of the hydrolysis of these compounds by the R61 DD-peptidase showed that the presence of the N-terminal glycylammonium ion and the pimelyl-alpha-carboxylate are very important for efficient catalysis. The results of deletion of the C-terminal D-alanine indicate a promising direction toward new inhibitors. Shorter (one methylene less) and longer (one methylene more) analogues of 1 are also poor substrates. Molecular modeling and dynamics studies suggest that the higher mobility of the active site residues and the modified substrates in enzyme-substrate complexes may be the dominant factor in this loss of reactivity. The general conclusion is that essentially all of the structural elements of the side chain of 1 are required to produce a good substrate. This result has important implications for the design of inhibitors of DD-peptidases.
The present invention provides methods, compounds, and kits useful in the analysis of reaction products and components of reaction mixtures, and in certain embodiments for the rapid and simultaneous determination of enantiomeric ratios, percent conversions, and absolute configurations.

A series of double-tailed hydrocarbon glycolipids derived from tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) have been prepared. These amphiphiles consist of three parts: a hydrophilic head derived from mono- or polygalactosylated Tris, a linking arm of peptidic nature and a hydrophobic double tail composed of 12 or 18 carbon atom chains. The ability of the new glycolipids to disperse in water, the morphology of the self-assemblies they form and the stability of the latter were shown to depend largely on the volumetric ratio between hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. Comparative studies of such substrates allowed a better understanding of the relative role of the various parameters that govern the formation of tubular systems relative to vesicular organizations. In all cases, the introduction of oligomeric galactosylated heads favoured stable vesicular systems over tubules.
