Functional Identification and Structure Determination of Two Novel Prolidases from cog1228 in the Amidohydrolase Superfamily,
摘要:
Two uncharacterized enzymes from the amidohydrolase superfamily belonging to cog1228 were cloned, expressed, and purified to homogeneity. The two proteins, Sgx9260c (gi|44242006) and Sgx9260b (gi|44479596), were derived from environmental DNA samples originating from the Sargasso Sea. The catalytic function and substrate profiles for Sgx9260c and Sgx9260b were determined using a comprehensive library of dipeptides and N-acyl derivative of L-amino acids. Sgx9260c catalyzes the hydrolysis of Gly-L-Pro, L-Ala-L-Pro, and N-acyl derivatives of L-Pro. The best substrate identified to date is N-acetyl-L-Pro with a value of k(cat)/K-m of 3 x 10(5) M-1 s(-1). Sgx9260b catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-hydrophobic L-Pro dipeptides and N-acyl derivatives of L-Pro. The best substrate identified to date is N-propionyl-L-Pro with a value of k(cat)/K-m of 1 x 10(5) M-1 s(-1). Three-dimensional structures of both proteins were determined by X-ray diffraction methods (PDB codes 3MKV and 3FEQ). These proteins fold as distorted (beta/alpha)(8)-barrels with two divalent cations in the active site. The structure of Sgx9260c was also determined as a complex with the N-methylphosphonate derivative of L-Pro (PDB code 3N2C). In this structure the phosphonate moiety bridges the binuclear metal center, and one oxygen atom interacts with His-140. The a-carboxylate of the inhibitor interacts with Tyr-231. The proline side chain occupies a small substrate binding cavity formed by residues contributed from the loop that follows beta-strand 7 within the (beta/alpha)(8)-barrel. A total of 38 other proteins from cog1228 are predicted to have the same substrate profile based on conservation of the substrate binding residues. The structure of an evolutionarily related protein, Cc2672 from Caulobacter crecentus, was determined as a complex with the N-methylphosphonate derivative of L-arginine (PDB code 3MTW).

A convenient, high yielding route for the preparation of several Boc- and Fmoc-protected N-linked glycopeptide monomers is presented. These building blocks can be used for the solid-phase synthesis of glycopeptides or glycopeptidomimetics, which is exemplified by the preparation of an N-linked dodecaglycopeptide Ac–(GlyProAsn[Gal])4–NH2, a potential collagen mimic.

[structure: see text] Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals. Interstrand N-H...O=C hydrogenbonds between backbone amide groups form a ladder in the middle of the collagen triple helix. Isosteric replacement of the hydrogen-bond-donating amide with an ester or (E)-alkene markedly decreases the conformationalstability of the triple helix. Thus, this recurring hydrogen bond is critical to the

The efficient assembly of an 18-membered macrocyclic peptide core was realized by a straightforward and convergent approach utilizing ring-closing metathesis of the corresponding linear tetrapeptides as the key transformation. This approach allowed for the facile preparation of a focused library of novel macrocycles that culminated in the discovery of a cyclophilin A inhibitor with a Kd = 5.4 μM.

The synthesis of peptide-luciferin conjugates has a pivotal role in the development of bioluminescent detection systems that are based on the determination of protease enzyme activity. This work describes the optimized synthesis of an N-peptide-6-amino-d-luciferin conjugate (Fmoc-Gly-Pro-6-amino-d-luciferin) with a simple fragment condensation method in adequate yields. Fmoc-Gly-Pro-6-amino-d-luciferin was produced from a previously synthesized Fmoc-Gly-Pro-OH and also previously synthesized 6-amino-2-cyanobenzothiazole with an optimized method, to which conjugate cysteine was added in an also improved way. The resulting conjugate was successfully used in a bioluminescent system, in vitro, demonstrating the applicability of the method.
