Small peptides as analogs of oxytocin and vasopressin in their interactions with bovine neurophysin-II

Abstract: Circular dichroism and proton titration studies of mixtures of native or nitrated bovine neurophysin-II and lysine vasopressin confirm that there is one principal site for lysine vasopressin of very similar properties to the single oxytocin site. A second, but markedly weaker lysine vasopressin site is allowed by the data, but two thermodynamically equivalent sites for lysine vasopressin are precluded. Binding constants to nitrated bovine neurophysin-II of oxytocin, lysine vasopressin, and a series of peptide … Show more

“…The crystal structure also confirms the disulfide assignments of Burman et al (7) and is consistent with recent conclusions from solution data as to the relationship of specific protein residues to the principal hormone-binding site. The relationship ofTyr49 to the binding site has been particularly studied because of its marked perturbation by binding (8,38). In the crystal, the suggested proximity of this residue to the binding site (1,39,40) is confirmed, with the backbone atoms of Tyr49 approaching bound peptide at a distance slightly less than 6 A.…”

“…Bovine NP-I was purified as described (14). The dipeptide para-iodo-L-phenylalanyltyrosine amide (I-Phe-Tyr-NH2) was custom-synthesized by Peninsula Laboratories and was demonstrated by using circular dichroism (8) to bind to the hormone-binding site with high affinity. Crystals of the NP-dipeptide complex were grown at pH 7.5 by using a modification of the procedure of Yoo et al (9) Data Collection.…”
