Novel Selective Inhibitors of the Interaction of Individual Nuclear Hormone Receptors with a Mutually Shared Steroid Receptor Coactivator 2
摘要:
Nuclear hormone receptor (NR) signaling, currently a therapeutic target in multiple diseases, involves an ordered series of protein interactions to regulate transcription in response to changing hormone levels. Later steps in the process of ligand-dependent signaling are driven by a highly conserved interaction between the NRs and the steroid receptor coactivators (SRCs) that is effected by a conserved interaction motif (L1XXL2L3), known as an NR box. Using computational design and combinatorial chemistry, we have produced novel alpha-helical proteomimetics of the second NR box of SRC2 that exploit structural differences between human estrogen receptor alpha (hERalpha), human estrogen receptor beta (hERbeta), and human thyroid hormone receptor beta (hTRbeta). The resulting library sequentially replaced each leucine with non-natural side chains. Screening this library using a quantitative competition assay revealed compounds that selectively inhibit the interaction of SRC2-2 with each individual NR in preference to its interaction with the other NR. This approach generated highly selective compounds from one that had no specificity for a particular family member. These compounds represent the first family-member-selective competitive inhibitors of the protein interactions of transcription factors.

A combinatorial peptidomimetic library containing diversified alpha-methylated amino acids was generated by the Ugi four component condensation (4cc) reaction from acids, amines, isocyanides and ketones in both solution and solidphase synthetic procedures. This one-pot methodology overall gave fair to good yields, which compare well with multi-step syntheses.

Synthetic apolipoproteins based on native/naturally occurring homolog proteins can be prepared using solid-phase peptide synthesis approaches combined with native chemical ligation methods to create analogs of full length apolipoproteins. The chemical synthesis is expected to allow introduction of non-natural amino acids, e.g., α,α′-dialkyl amino acids, with a periodicity that encourages both helix formation and amphipathicity. Such apolipoprotein analogs are expected to encourage, in some embodiments, facile and more complete NLP formation, enabling consideration of full spectrum of nanoparticle-based biotechnology applications ranging from therapeutic sequestration and delivery to energy/biofuel production to biopolymer production.
