A General Method for Constraining Short Peptides to an α-Helical Conformation
摘要:
A method for constraining short peptides (<20 residues) of arbitrary sequence to an alpha-helical conformation (similar to 100% helical in H2O at 25 degrees C) is presented. Glutamine residues at positions i and i + 7 of the peptides were tethered with an alkanediyl chain between the side chain nitrogen atoms. Peptides containing this tether were readily synthesized on the solid phase by amide formation between an alpha,omega-diaminoallcane and the side chain carboxylates of glutamate residues. The resulting cyclic peptides were studied by NMR and CD and were found to adopt an alpha-helical conformation in aqueous solution. The alpha-helix was thermally stable to greater than or equal to 40 degrees C. Corresponding untethered control peptides with N-methylglutamine at the i and i + 7 positions lacked helicity under the same conditions. Analogous peptides were also prepared for comparison using the thiolysine cross-linking method described previously [Jackson, D. Y.; King, D. S.; Chmielewski, J.; Singh, S.; Schultz, P. G. J. Am Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 9391-9392].

(EN) Provided are cyclized peptides with a constrained region(s) having an $g(a)-helical conformation. Constrained helical peptides having amino acid sequences from HIV gp41 are provided, as is their use in preparing antibodies that prevent viral membrane fusion. Also provided are methods for making such cyclized peptides.(FR) L'invention porte sur des peptides cyclisés possédant une (des) région(s) contrainte(s) à structure hélicoïdale $g(a). L'invention porte également sur des peptides à structure hélicoïdale contrainte possédant des séquences d'acides aminés issues de la protéine gp41 du VIH, sur leur utilisation dans la préparation d'anticorps qui préviennent la fusion membranaire virale, ainsi que sur des procédés de fabrication de ces peptides cyclisés.
