Synthesis and activity of NAcSerAspLysPro analogs on cellular interactions between T-cell and erythrocytes in rosette formation
摘要:
Analogues of NAcSerAspLysPro (AcSDKP), a natural regulator of hematopoiesis isolated from fetal calf bone marrow, were synthesized. The biological activity of these molecules were evaluated in vitro in the rosette assay, which measures the interaction between human Jurkat T-cells and sheep red blood cells. In this test, the tripeptide SerAspLys was the most efficient. Inhibitory activity was detected at the concentration 10(-14) M for the analogue and at 10(-9) M for the parent tetrapeptide. The dipeptide NAcSerAsp still showed activity but at much higher doses (10(-6) M). Substitution of polar amino acids led mostly to inactive molecules. Thus, replacement of Ser by Ala, or Lys by Orn yielded completely inactive compounds and replacement of Asp by Glu decreased the activity (10(-6) M). The present study gives an insight into the role of individual amino acids of AcSDKP in the inhibition of the rosette formation which implicates interactions with T-cell CD2 glycoprotein.

The model peptide synthesis from mixtures of amino acids was carried out under the thermal cycling and isothermal modes. The compositions of the obtained mixtures of products and the primary amino acid sequence of the synthesized peptides were determined by Fouriertransformioncyclotronresonancemassspectrometry and tandem massspectrometry in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography
The use of microfluidic structures enables high throughput screening of protein crystallization. In one embodiment, an integrated combinatoric mixing chip allows for precise metering of reagents to rapidly create a large number of potential crystallization conditions, with possible crystal formations observed on chip. In an alternative embodiment, the microfluidic structures may be utilized to explore phase space conditions of a particular protein crystallizing agent combination, thereby identifying promising conditions and allowing for subsequent focused attempts to obtain crystal growth.

High throughput screening of crystallization of a target material is accomplished by simultaneously introducing a solution of the target material into a plurality of chambers of a microfabricated fluidic device. The microfabricated fluidic device is then manipulated to vary the solution condition in the chambers, thereby simultaneously providing a large number of crystallization environments. Control over changed solution conditions may result from a variety of techniques, including but not limited to metering volumes of crystallizing agent into the chamber by volume exclusion, by entrapment of volumes of crystallizing agent determined by the dimensions of the microfabricated structure, or by cross-channel injection of sample and crystallizing agent into an array of junctions defined by intersecting orthogonal flow channels.
