Glycopeptide probes for understanding peptide specificity of the folding sensor enzyme UGGT
摘要:
A systematic series of chitobiose-modified pentapeptides with sequence variations of hydrophobic leucine and hydrophilic serine were synthesized. The resulting glycopeptides were used as molecular probes to elucidate aglycon peptide specificity of the glycoprotein-folding sensor enzyme UGGT. Inhibitory experiments with a synthetic fluorescent glyco-substrate and the glycopeptides revealed that UGGT prefers a serine residue directly linked to C-terminal of the N-glycosylation site in its substrate recognition.

The present invention provides a protecting reagent that can be removed in a high yield even under acidic conditions and can afford a resulting product at a high purity in an organic synthesis reaction such as peptide synthesis and the like. The inventive protecting reagent is particular benzylic compound having only one hydroxyl group substituted by an organic group having an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of not less than 14.

A readily synthesized dipeptide shows unprecedented gelation behavior when dispersed and submitted to ultrasound in nonsolvents. SEM and FFEM revealed spectacular shape changes from a sheet-like material into a highly interconnected fiber network and ribbons while the dipeptide maintains an anti conformation inside beta-sheets at the molecular scale.
