Combinatorial Optimization of Cystine-Knot Peptides towards High-Affinity Inhibitors of Human Matriptase-1

Abstract: Cystine-knot miniproteins define a class of bioactive molecules with several thousand natural members. Their eponymous motif comprises a rigid structured core formed by six disulfide-connected cysteine residues, which accounts for its exceptional stability towards thermic or proteolytic degradation. Since they display a remarkable sequence tolerance within their disulfide-connected loops, these molecules are considered promising frameworks for peptide-based pharmaceuticals. Natural open-chain cystine-knot tryp… Show more

“…This observation is consistent with recent studies which demonstrated that grafting sequences as long as sixteen amino acid residues into loop 6 does not alter the disulfide bond connectivity within MCoTI [29]. Moreover, the MCoTI-ll scaffold has been engineered to bind to a range of protein targets including HMD2 [29], beta-tryptase, human leukocyte elastase and matriptase [16,27,30,31], suggesting that the framework itself has plasticity to accommodate different sequences. However, introducing the Sortase A recognition sequence into other loop regions within the framework might pose a problem and hence would need to be carefully assessed on a case-by-case basis.…”

“…To further validate the correct fold of the recombinant MCoTI-II variants, bioactivity of rMCoTI-II was assed via trypsin enzymatic assays. Cyclic rMCoTI-II inhibited trypsin activity with a K i of 1.5 ± 0.2 nM, a potency similar to what has been previously observed for native cyclic MCoTI-II [27], whereas the acylic rMCoTI-II variant exhibited a 2-fold lower inhibitory effect with a K i of 3.0 ± 0.5 nM (Table 2 and Fig. 6D).…”

“…Таким белком является барназа (РНКаза из Bacillus amyloliquefaciens), с помощью которой методом гетерологической экспрессии были получены растворимые формы кноттинов-ИСП и с правильно сформированными S-S-мостиками без рефолдинга [44,88,89]. Описано также получение библиотек, представляющих собой модифицированные аналоги ЕeТI, слитые с гемагглютинином вируса гриппа и далее с капсидным белком pIII фага Fd, и аналоги ЕеТI и МСоТI-II, слитые с поверхностным агглютинином Aga2p дрожжей Saccharomyces cerevisiae [34,90,91].…”

“…В ходе наращивания пептидной цепи путём твёрдофазного синтеза кноттинов, SFTI 1 и их аналогов отмечено затруднённое присоединение Fmoc-производных аминокислот из-за межмолекулярной агрегации синтезируемых пептидных цепей [109]. Эту проблему решали использованием смеси растворителей, улучшающих солюбилизацию растущих пептидных цепей ("magic mix") и специальных сильно набухающих твёрдофазных носителей [59, 98- [109], проведением синтеза в СВЧ-реакторах [34]. Решению данной проблемы может помочь и применение более эффективного, чем пиперидин, катализатора удаления Fmoc-групп диазабицикло-[5,4,0]ундец-7-ена (DBU) [116].…”
