Abstract:

It is well known that standard peptides, which comprise proteinogenic amino acids, can act as specific chemical probes to target proteins with high affinity. Despite this fact, a number of peptide drug leads have been abandoned because of their poor cell permeability and protease instability. On the other hand, nonstandard peptides isolated as natural products often exhibit remarkable pharmaco-behavior and stability in vivo. Although it is likely that numerous nonstandard therapeutic peptides capable of recognizing various targets could have been synthesized, enzymes for nonribosomal peptide syntheses are complex; therefore, it is difficult to engineer such modular enzymes to build nonstandard peptide libraries. Here we describe an emerging technology for the synthesis of nonstandard peptides that employs an integrated system of reconstituted cell-free translation and flexizymes. We summarize the historical background of this technology and discuss its current and future applications to the synthesis of nonstandard peptides and drug discovery.

Full text

Abstract:

Thioether containing peptides were obtained following three synthetic routes. In route A, halo acids esterified on 2-chlorotrityl(Cltr) resin were reacted with N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) aminothiols. These were either cleaved from the resin to the corresponding (Fmoc-aminothiol)carboxylic acids, which were used as key building blocks in solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), or the N-Fmoc group was deprotected and peptide chains were elongated by standard SPPS. The obtained N-Fmoc protected thioether containing peptides were then condensed either in solution, or on solid support, with the appropriate amino components of peptides. In route B, the thioether containing peptides were obtained by the reaction of N-Fmoc aminothiols with bromoacetylated peptides, which were synthesized on Cltr-resin, followed by removal of the N-Fmoc group and subsequent peptide elongation by standard SPPS. In route C, the thioether containing peptides were obtained by the condensation of a haloacylated peptide synthesized on Cltr-resin and a thiol-peptide synthesized either on 4-methoxytrityl(Mmt) or trityl(Trt) resin.

Abstract:

The use of biomolecules in nanomaterial synthesis has received increasing attention, because they can function as a medium to produce inorganic materials in ambient conditions. Short peptides are putative ligands that interact with metallic surfaces, as they have the potential to control the synthesis of nanoscale materials. Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) mineralization using peptides has been investigated; however, further comprehensive analysis must be carried out, because the design of peptide mediated-AgNP properties is still highly challenging. Herein, we employed an array comprising 200 spot synthesis-based peptides, which were previously isolated as gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-binding and/or mineralization peptides, and the AgNP mineralization activity of each peptide was broadly evaluated. Among 10 peptides showing the highest AgNP-synthesis activity (TOP10), nine showed the presence of EE and E[X]E (E: glutamic acid, and X: any amino acid), whereas none of these motifs were found in the WORST25 (25 peptides showing the lowest AgNP synthesis activity) peptides. The size and morphology of the particles synthesized by TOP3 peptides were dependent on their sequences. These results suggested not only that array-based techniques are effective for the peptide screening of AgNP mineralization, but also that AgNP mineralization regulated by peptides has the potential for the synthesis of AgNPs, with controlled morphology in environmentally friendly conditions.

Abstract:

A series of side-chain modified peptides have been prepared via an iterative sequence of peptide couplings and azide–alkyne cycloadditions (‘click’ reactions) using Fmoc-solid phase peptide synthesis. This efficient modular synthetic route allows the systematic and sequential incorporation of a variety of side-chain modifications onto short peptides. The versatility of this approach was demonstrated by the synthesis of a series of short peptides with appended anion recognition motifs and fluorescent indicators.

Abstract:

Proteolytic enzymes have a fundamental role in many biological processes and are associated with multiple pathological conditions. Therefore, targeting these enzymes may be important for a better understanding of their function and development of therapeutic inhibitors. Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) peptides are convenient tools for the study of peptidases specificity as they allow monitoring of the reaction on a continuous basis, providing a rapid method for the determination of enzymatic activity. Hydrolysis of a peptide bond between the donor/acceptor pair generates fluorescence that permits the measurement of the activity of nanomolar concentrations of the enzyme. The assays can be performed directly in a cuvette of the fluorimeter or adapted for determinations in a 96-well fluorescence plate reader. The synthesis of FRET peptides containing ortho-aminobenzoic acid (Abz) as fluorescent group and 2, 4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp) or N-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl)ethylenediamine (EDDnp) as quencher was optimized by our group and became an important line of research at the Department of Biophysics of the Federal University of São Paulo. Recently, Abz/Dnp FRET peptide libraries were developed allowing high-throughput screening of peptidases substrate specificity. This review presents the consolidation of our research activities undertaken between 1993 and 2008 on the synthesis of peptides and study of peptidases specificities.

Full text

Abstract:

Since the development of solid-phase peptide synthesis in the 1960s, many laboratories have modified the technology for the production of peptide arrays to facilitate the discovery of novel peptide mimetics and therapeutics. One of these, known as SPOT synthesis, enables parallel peptide synthesis on cellulose paper sheets and has several advantages over other peptide arrays methods. Today, the SPOT technique remains one of the most frequently used methods for synthesis and screening of peptides on arrays. Although polypropylene and glass can be used for the preparation of peptide arrays, the most commonly used material for SPOT membranes is cellulose. Critical to the success of the SPOT synthesis is the ability to modify a cellulose membrane to make it more suitable for solid-phase peptide synthesis of peptides and their analogues. In this review, we highlight the current range of chemical modifications of cellulose that have been developed to enable SPOT synthesis and further enhance its impact on peptide drug discovery. This will contribute to further chemical modifications and applications of SPOT synthesis for peptide arrays and peptide therapeutic screening.

Full text

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe formation of injectable implants in the presence of cells or solutes has previously been conceptualized to be based on the selectivity of bioorthogonal chemical reactions. As an alternative approach, hydrogel network synthesis by enzymatic reactions with a typically high inherent substrate specificity and low toxicity have been repeatedly proposed, e.g. using commercial mushroom tyrosinase (MTyr), which specifically catalyzes phenol oxidation. In this study, it should be explored whether MTyr is compatible with therapeutic peptides that may be delivered from such hydrogels in the future. Based on the specificity of MTyr to phenol residues, no modification of peptides lacking the amino acid tyrosine would be expected. One example of such peptides is gramicidin S (GS), a potent antimicrobial peptide. However, when GS was incubated with commercial MTyr, peptide degradation occurred as observed by HPLC analysis. Several fragments of the peptide were detected by MALDI-TOF. Contamination of MTyr with peptidases was proven as the source of undesired peptide cleavage, which needs to be considered when preparing enzymatically crosslinked hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Abstract:

Calf chymosin was shown to catalyse peptide synthesis optimally over the range pH 4-5, giving satisfactory yields of methyl esters or p-nitroanilides of benzyloxycarbonyl tetra- to hexa-peptides, provided that hydrophobic amino-acid residues form the new peptide bonds. The effectiveness of the enzyme depends also on the nature of adjacent amino-acid residues. As an aspartate-proteinase with a characteristic specificity pattern chymosin would be useful for the synthesis of middle-length peptides.

Abstract:

Nonribosomal peptide synthetases produce highly modified bioactive peptides, many of which are used therapeutically. As such, they have been the target of intense protein engineering to enable biosynthetic access to peptide variants with improved drug properties or altered bioactivities. In this account, we describe our ongoing efforts to reprogram nonribosomal peptide synthesis by surgical mutation. In contrast to ribosomal biosynthesis, nonribosomal peptide synthesis has proven difficult to engineer, arguably due to a lack of suitable tools. To address this limitation, we have established a high-throughput assay that provides unprecedented control over the gatekeeper adenylation domains responsible for building block selection and incorporation. Expansion of this strategy to other building blocks and domains promises to make it a powerful evolutionary platform for tailoring assembly lines for custom synthesis of peptide therapeutics.1.

Abstract:

Abstract Advances in genomic technologies have paved the way to developing personalized cancer vaccines targeting neo-antigens. Patient-specific vaccines, targeting several neo-antigens in one go have already entered the clinic. Such personalized, multi-target approach poses a challenge for immune monitoring of vaccine-specific T-cell responses in a fast, flexible and cost-effective fashion. Most immune monitoring protocols use 9–15-mer synthetic peptides originating from the vaccine target antigen. In contrast to detection of shared antigen-specific T-cells, for which the same peptide batch can be used for several patients, immune monitoring of individual neo-antigen-specific T-cell responses requires small amounts of large numbers of peptides (e.g. 40 × 15-mer peptides for 10 neo-epitopes of 27 amino-acids), which can only be used for one single patient. Therefore, standard peptide synthesis approaches applying commercial peptide synthesizers not only lack required throughput and speed but also generate peptides at prohibitive costs. Here, we present data demonstrating the flexible application of our high-throughput, low cost FastTrack peptide synthesis approach in comparison with different specifications of standard peptides in ex-vivo ELISPOT to monitor neo-antigen specific immune responses in patients participating in the IVAC MUTANOME Phase I clinical trial (NCT02035956). Application of the new peptide synthesis method enables the assembly of up to 1200 peptides in less than 3 weeks at appr. 20% of standard synthesis costs.

Abstract:

To tackle one of the biggest global health problems, the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics, a collective effort in the search for more effective agents against bacteria was required. Peptides with antimicrobial activity have been raising much attention as a promising alternative for antibiotics. Peptaibols, for instance, are a family of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with great biomedical potential, in which the Peptaibolin can be highlighted. This peptide has gained relevance due to its small amino acids content, only four, and its acetyl group and a phenylalaninol residue (Phol) at the N-terminal and C-terminal, respectively. Here, we report the synthesis of Peptaibolin through Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis assisted by Microwave heating (MW-SPPS) in a pre-loaded Phe-Wang resin. Starting from a loading of 0.51 mmol/g, two syntheses were made, using two different combinations of coupling reagents. The best option was DIC/Oxima, achieving a yield of 50.0%. Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR) studies confirmed the peptide structure, while High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) verified the peptide purity. The peptide solubility was examined against several combinations of solvents. Peptaibolin was not soluble in water, only in organic solvents or in the combination of both. Antimicrobial testing was conducted using Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Minimum inhibitory concentration studies demonstrated the resistance of bacteria to the peptide action and the peptide instability in bacterial growth conditions.

Abstract:

The great versatility and the inherent high affinities of peptides for their respective targets have led to tremendous progress for therapeutic applications in the last years. In order to increase the drugability of these frequently unstable and rapidly cleared molecules, chemical modifications are of great interest. Automated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) offers a suitable technology to produce chemically engineered peptides. This review concentrates on the application of SPPS by Fmoc/t-Bu protecting-group strategy, which is most commonly used. Critical issues and suggestions for the synthesis are covered. The development of automated methods from conventional to essentially improved microwave-assisted instruments is discussed. In order to improve pharmacokinetic properties of peptides, lipidation and PEGylation are described as covalent conjugation methods, which can be applied by a combination of automated and manual synthesis approaches. The synthesis and application of SPPS is described for neuropeptide Y receptor analogs as an example for bioactive hormones. The applied strategies represent innovative and potent methods for the development of novel peptide drug candidates that can be manufactured with optimized automated synthesis technologies.

Abstract:

In vitro ACE-1 inhibitory peptides were characterised previously from a number of microalgal species including Spirulina platensis (peptide IAPG), Chlorella vulgaris (peptides FDL, AFL, VVPPA), Isochrysis galbana (peptide YMGLDLK), Chlorella sorokiniana (peptides IW and LW) and indeed Nannochloropsis oculata (peptides GMNNLTP and LEQ). The isolation of protein from Nannochloropsis oculata using a combination of ammonium salt precipitation and xylanase treatment of resulting biomass combined with molecular weight cut off filtration to produce a permeate and characterisation of bioactive peptides is described. The Angiotensin-1-converting enzyme (ACE-1) IC50 value for the generated permeate fraction was 370 µg/mL. Ninety-five peptide sequences within the permeate fraction were determined using mass spectrometry and eight peptides were selected for chemical synthesis based on in silico analysis. Synthesized peptides were novel based on a search of the literature and relevant databases. In silico, simulated gastrointestinal digestion identified further peptides with bioactivities including ACE-1 inhibitory peptides and peptides with antithrombotic and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CAMKII) inhibition. This work highlights the potential of Nannochloropsis oculata biomass as both a protein and bioactive peptide resource, which could be harnessed for use in the development of functional foods and feeds.

Full text

Abstract:

How functional peptides may have arisen is a significant problem for the scenario of the RNA world. An attractive idea, the direct RNA template (DRT) hypothesis, proposes that RNA molecules can bind amino acids specifically and promote the synthesis of corresponding peptides, thereby starting the RNA/peptides world. To investigate the plausibility of this idea, we modeled the emergence of a “membrane-stabilizing peptide” in RNA-based protocells—such a peptide was suggested to have appeared early in the RNA world based on experimental evidence. The computer simulation demonstrated that the protocells containing the “RNA gene” encoding this peptide may spread in the system owing to the peptide’s function. The RNA gene may either originate de novo in protocells or emerge in protocells already containing ribozymes—here we adopt a nucleotide synthetase ribozyme as an example. Furthermore, interestingly, we show that a “nucleotide synthetase peptide” encoded by RNA (also via the DRT mechanism) may substitute the nucleotide synthetase ribozyme in evolution, which may represent how “functional-takeover” in the RNA world could have occurred. Overall, we conclude that the transition from the RNA world towards an RNA/peptides world may well have been mediated by the DRT mechanism. Remarkably, the successful modeling on the emergence of membrane-stabilizing peptide in RNA-based protocells is per se significant, which may imply a “promising” way for peptides to enter the RNA world, especially considering the weak interaction between RNA and the membrane in chemistry.

Full text

Abstract:

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is considered an energy source for the prebiotic chemical synthesis of life’s building blocks. However, it also results in photodegradation of biology-related organic compounds on early Earth. Thus, it is important to find a process to protect these compounds from decomposition by UV irradiation. Herein, pH effects on both the adsorption of peptides on montmorillonite (MMT) and the abilities of peptides to resist UV irradiation due to this adsorption were systematically studied. We found that montmorillonite (MMT) can adsorb peptides effectively under acidic conditions, while MMT-adsorbed peptides can be released under basic conditions. Peptide adsorption is positively correlated with the length of the peptide chains. MMT’s adsorption of peptides and MMT-adsorbed peptide desorption are both rapid-equilibrium, and it takes less than 30 min to reach the equilibrium in both cases. Furthermore, compared to free peptides, MMT-adsorbed peptides under acidic conditions are well protected from UV degradation even after prolonged irradiation. These results indicate amino acid/peptides are able to concentrate from aqueous solution by MMT adsorption under low-pH conditions (concentration step). The MMT-adsorbed peptides survive under UV irradiation among other unprotected species (storage step). Then, the MMT-adsorbed peptides can be released to the aqueous solution if the environment becomes more basic (releasing step), and these free peptides are ready for polymerization to polypeptides. Hence, a plausible prebiotic concentration–storage–release cycle of amino acids/peptides for further polypeptide synthesis is established.

Abstract:

The use of the click reaction for the introduction of conjugate groups, such as affinity or fluorescent labels, to a peptide for the study of peptide biochemistry and pharmacology is widespread. However, the nature and location of substituted 1,2,3-triazoles in peptide sequences may markedly affect conformation or binding as compared with native sequences. We have examined the preparation and application of propargyloxyproline (Pop) residues as a precursor to such peptide conjugates. Pop residues are available in a range of regio- and stereoisomers from hydroxyproline precursors and are readily prepared in Fmoc-protected form. They can be incorporated routinely in peptide synthesis and broadly retain the conformational properties of the parent proline containing peptides. This is exemplified by the preparation of biotin- and fluorophore-labelled peptides derived from linear and cyclic peptides.

The solution phase synthesis of N-protected amino acids and peptides has been achieved through GAP chemistry by avoiding disadvantages of the solid-phase-peptide synthesis (SPPS) and liquid-phase-peptide synthesis. The environmentally friendly GAP synthesis can substantially reduce the use of solvents, silica gels, energy and manpower.

Full text

Abstract:

Peptide biosynthesis is performed by ribosomes and several other classes of enzymes, but a simple chemical synthesis may have created the first peptides at the origins of life. α-Aminonitriles—prebiotic α–amino acid precursors—are generally produced by Strecker reactions. However, cysteine’s aminothiol is incompatible with nitriles. Consequently, cysteine nitrile is not stable, and cysteine has been proposed to be a product of evolution, not prebiotic chemistry. We now report a high-yielding, prebiotic synthesis of cysteine peptides. Our biomimetic pathway converts serine to cysteine by nitrile-activated dehydroalanine synthesis. We also demonstrate that N-acylcysteines catalyze peptide ligation, directly coupling kinetically stable—but energy-rich—α-amidonitriles to proteinogenic amines. This rare example of selective and efficient organocatalysis in water implicates cysteine as both catalyst and precursor in prebiotic peptide synthesis.

Abstract:

This review provides research data on drugs made on the basis of polypeptides isolated from different animal organs. They initiated the development of drugs of a peptide origin. Besides, a group of pharmaceuticals (peptide complexes), created at the Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov (Thymalin, Epithalamin, Cortexin, Prostatilen, Retinalamin) under the supervision of V.Kh. Khavinson in the 80–90-ies of the 20th century has been described. At present, pharmacologists focus on isolation of short di-, tri-, tetrapeptides, identification of their primary structures and subsequent synthesis from amino acids (Thymogen, Vilon, Pinealon, Vesugen, Epitalon, Bronchogen, Cardiogen, etc.). The results of cutting edge investigations of peptide influence on various functions of an organism, gene expression and protein synthesis have been presented. A molecular mechanism of a peptide-DNA interaction has been depicted. Short peptides have been revealed to regulate gene expression, protein synthesis, chromatin state and promote telomeres elongation. Peptides regulate targeted differentiation of pluripotent cells and decrease their replicative ageing. Animals administered with peptides showed a decreased tumor incidence, normalized melatonin level and an increased average life span. To summarize the above, it is worth noting further prospects of studies aimed at creation of novel drugs on the basis of short peptides with targeted regulation of certain gene groups and protein synthesis which underlies the development of pharmacogenomics as fundamentals for future therapy.

Abstract:

Macrocyclic peptides are predominantly peptide structures bearing one or more rings and spanning multiple amino acid residues. Macrocyclization has become a common approach for improving the pharmacological properties and bioactivity of peptides. A variety of ribosomal-derived and non-ribosomal synthesized cyclization approaches have been established. The biosynthesis of backbone macrocyclic peptides using seven new emerging methodologies will be discussed with regard to the features and strengths of each platform rather than medicinal chemistry tools. The mRNA display variant, known as the random nonstandard peptide integrated discovery (RaPID) platform, utilizes flexible in vitro translation (FIT) to access macrocyclic peptides containing nonproteinogenic amino acids (NAAs). As a new discovery approach, the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) method involves the combination of ribosomal synthesis and the phage screening platform together with macrocyclization chemistries to generate libraries of macrocyclic peptides. Meanwhile, the split-intein circular ligation of peptides and proteins (SICLOPPS) approach relies on the in vivo production of macrocyclic peptides. In vitro and in vivo peptide library screening is discussed as an advanced strategy for cyclic peptide selection. Specifically, biosynthetic bicyclic peptides are highlighted as versatile and attractive modalities. Bicyclic peptides represent another type of promising therapeutics that allow for building blocks with a heterotrimeric conjugate to address intractable challenges and enable multimer complexes via linkers. Additionally, we discuss the cell-free chemoenzymatic synthesis of macrocyclic peptides with a non-ribosomal catalase known as the non-ribosomal synthetase (NRPS) and chemo-enzymatic approach, with recombinant thioesterase (TE) domains. Novel insights into the use of peptide library tools, activity-based two-hybrid screening, structure diversification, inclusion of NAAs, combinatorial libraries, expanding the toolbox for macrocyclic peptides, bicyclic peptides, chemoenzymatic strategies, and future perspectives are presented. This review highlights the broad spectrum of strategy classes, novel platforms, structure diversity, chemical space, and functionalities of macrocyclic peptides enabled by emerging biosynthetic platforms to achieve bioactivity and for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract:

Abstract Oxidative stress, an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS), may lead to oxidative post-translational modifications of proteins resulting in the cleavage of the peptide backbone, known as α-amidation, and formation of fragments such as peptide amides and α-ketoacyl peptides (α-KaP). In this study, we first compared different approaches for the synthesis of different model α-KaP and then investigated their stability compared to the corresponding unmodified peptides. The stability of peptides was studied at room temperature or at temperatures relevant for food processing (100 °C for cooking and 150 °C as a simulation of roasting) in water, in 1% (m/v) acetic acid or as the dry substance (to simulate the thermal treatment of dehydration processes) by HPLC analysis. Oxidation of peptides by 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone (DTBBQ) proved to be the most suited method for synthesis of α-KaPs. The acyl side chain of the carbonyl-terminal α-keto acid has a crucial impact on the stability of α-KaPs. This carbonyl group has a catalytic effect on the hydrolysis of the neighboring peptide bond, leading to the release of α-keto acids. Unmodified peptides were significantly more stable than the corresponding α-KaPs. The possibility of further degradation reactions was shown by the formation of Schiff bases from glyoxylic or pyruvic acids with glycine and proven through detection of transamination products and Strecker aldehydes of α-keto acids by HPLC–MS/MS. We propose here a mechanism for the decomposition of α-ketoacyl peptides.

Abstract:

In recent years, peptides have gained more success as therapeutic compounds. Nowadays, the preferred method to obtain peptides is solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), which does not respect the principles of green chemistry due to the large number of toxic reagents and solvents used. The aim of this work was to research and study an environmentally sustainable solvent able to replace dimethylformamide (DMF) in fluorenyl methoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) solid-phase peptide synthesis. Herein, we report the use of dipropyleneglycol dimethylether (DMM), a well-known green solvent with low human toxicity following oral, inhalant, and dermal exposure and that is easily biodegradable. Some tests were needed to evaluate its applicability to all the steps of SPPS, such as amino acid solubility, resin swelling, deprotection kinetics, and coupling tests. Once the best green protocol was established, it was applied to the synthesis of different length peptides to study some of the fundamental parameters of green chemistry, such as PMI (process mass intensity) and the recycling of solvent. It was revealed that DMM is a valuable alternative to DMF in all steps of solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Abstract:

Aurein1.2 is a 13-residue antimicrobial peptide secreted by the Australian tree frog Litoria aurea. In order to improve its stabilities, the helical contents and corresponding biological activities of Aurein1.2 (a series of stapled analogues) were synthesized, and their potential antifungal activities were evaluated. Not surprisingly, the stapled Aurein1.2 peptides showed higher proteolytic stability and helicity than the linear counterpart. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ten stapled peptides against six strains of common pathogenic fungi was determined by the microscale broth dilution method recommended by CLSI. Of them, Sau-1, Sau-2, Sau-5, and Sau-9 exhibited better inhibitory effects on the fungi than the linear peptide. These stapled Aurein1.2 peptides may serve as the leading compounds for further optimization and antifungal therapy.

Abstract:

The chemical formation of the peptide bond has long fascinated and challenged organic chemists. It requires not only the activation of the carboxyl group of an amino acid but also the protection of the Nα-amino group. The more than a century of continuous development of ever-improved protecting group chemistry has been married to dramatic advances in the chemical synthesis of peptides that, itself, was substantially enhanced by the development of solid-phase peptide synthesis by R. B. Merrifield in the 1960s. While the latter technology has continued to undergo further refinement and improvement in both its chemistry and automation, the development of the base-labile 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group and its integration into current synthesis methods is considered a major landmark in the history of the chemical synthesis of peptides. The many beneficial attributes of the Fmoc group, which have yet to be surpassed by any other Nα-protecting group, allow very rapid and highly efficient synthesis of peptides, including ones of significant size and complexity, making it an even more valuable resource for research in the post-genomic world. This review charts the development and use of this Nα-protecting group and its adaptation to address the need for more green chemical peptide synthesis processes.

Abstract:

Considering our interest in the use of peptides as potential target-specific drugs or as delivery vectors of metallodrugs for various biomedical applications, it is crucial to explore improved synthetic methodologies to accomplish the highest peptide crude purity in the shortest time possible. Therefore, we compared “classical” fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) with ultrasound(US)-assisted SPPS based on the preparation of three peptides, namely the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3(FGFR3)-specific peptide Pep1 (VSPPLTLGQLLS-NH2) and the novel peptides Pep2 (RQMATADEA-NH2) and Pep3 (AAVALLPAVLLALLAPRQMATADEA-NH2), which are being developed aimed at interfering with the intracellular protein-protein interaction(PPI) RANK-TRAF6. Our results demonstrated that US-assisted SPPS led to a 14-fold (Pep1) and 4-fold time reduction (Pep2) in peptide assembly compared to the “classical” method. Interestingly, US-assisted SPPS yielded Pep1 in higher purity (82%) than the “classical” SPPS (73%). The significant time reduction combined with high crude peptide purity attained prompted use to apply US-assisted SPPS to the large peptide Pep3, which displays a high number of hydrophobic amino acids and homooligo-sequences. Remarkably, the synthesis of this 25-mer peptide was attained during a “working day” (347 min) in moderate purity (approx. 49%). In conclusion, we have reinforced the importance of using US-SPPS towards facilitating the production of peptides in shorter time with increased efficacy in moderate to high crude purity. This is of special importance for long peptides such as the case of Pep3.

Abstract:

Abstract The extent to which peptides containing chemically and post-translationally modified amino acid side chains are recognized by primed CTL has not been clearly defined. We report on the CTL recognition of a MHC class I-restricted peptide containing a cyclized asparagine (succinimide) residue. This modification of the asparagine side chain is a common intermediate structure during deamidation, isomerization, and bond rearrangements of amide-containing amino acids and also occurs as a side reaction in peptide synthesis. The CTL specifically recognized the succinimide-containing peptide showing only weak cross-reactivity at high concentrations of the parent peptide containing unmodified asparagine. Similarly, CTL raised against the parent peptide did not recognize the succinimide derivative of this peptide. Naturally processed forms of these structures are likely to occur given the importance and frequency of deamidation both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, since succinimide intermediates of deamidated peptides can occasionally be very stable, these peptides have the potential to act as altered self-Ags with significant implications for autoimmunity. In addition, unwanted and potentially hazardous specificities may be elicited when using synthetic peptides in subunit vaccines in which succinimide residues may form spontaneously during storage or chemical synthesis.

The radical aqueous suspension polymerisation resulted in the resin, that exhibited high swelling capacity in various solvents. The peptides were synthesized step-wise by Fmoc strategy, established with amino acid analysis and purified using HPLC. The polymer's high degree of swelling might facilitate free reagent interaction with resin-bound functional sites, resulting in an increased rate of amide bond production. The peptides yield and purity obtained from new support was high when compared to Merrifield resin. These peptides synthesis depicts the application of PS-NVP-HDDA resin developed for synthesis of long chain peptides in high homogeneity and high yield.

Abstract:

We have investigated the inhibition of DNA synthesis and cell proliferation by rat atrial natriuretic factor [rANF-(99-126)] and several synthetic peptides that bind selectively to the ANF-C-type clearance receptors in subcultured aortic smooth muscle cells. These peptides decreased serum-induced 1) [3H]thymidine incorporation, 2) cell proliferation, and 3) thymidine kinase activity without altering basal or elevated cAMP or cGMP levels. In contrast, another ANF-C-receptor-binding peptide, des[Gln116,Ser117,Gly118,Leu119,Gly120] rANF-(102-121)-NH2 (cANF), failed to decrease serum-induced mitogenesis, yet 100 nM cANF reversed the inhibition of DNA synthesis and cell proliferation and the decrease of thymidine kinase activity elicited by other C receptor-binding peptides, including rANF-(99-126), rANF-(103-125), and porcine C-type natriuretic peptide [pCNP-(1-22)]. Delayed addition experiments indicated that atrial peptides influence a relatively late event (or events) during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The inhibition of DNA synthesis by C-receptor-binding atrial peptides appeared to be selective for aortic smooth muscle cells, inasmuch as a potent inhibitory agonist peptide, Cys116-rANF-(102-116), was without significant influence on the incorporation of thymidine in cultured rat mesangial cells or bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. These results indicate that atrial natriuretic peptide analogues decrease vascular smooth muscle cell mitogenesis and proliferation by a cyclic nucleotide-independent mechanism involving the C-type receptor. Moreover the inhibition of DNA synthesis by rANF-(99-126) and the neuropeptide pCNP-(1-22) appears to be mediated by the ANF-C-type receptor and is associated with inhibition of thymidine kinase activity.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Non-ribosomally synthesized peptides have compelling biological activities ranging from antimicrobial to immunosuppressive and from cytostatic to antitumor. The broad spectrum of applications in modern medicine is reflected in the great structural diversity of these natural products. They contain unique building blocks, such as d-amino acids, fatty acids, sugar moieties, and heterocyclic elements, as well as halogenated, methylated, and formylated residues. In the past decades, significant progress has been made toward the understanding of the biosynthesis of these secondary metabolites by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) and their associated tailoring enzymes. Guided by this knowledge, researchers genetically redesigned the NRPS template to synthesize new peptide products. Moreover, chemoenzymatic strategies were developed to rationally engineer nonribosomal peptides products in order to increase or alter their bioactivities. Specifically, chemical synthesis combined with peptide cyclization mediated by nonribosomal thioesterase domains enabled the synthesis of glycosylated cyclopeptides, inhibitors of integrin receptors, peptide/polyketide hybrids, lipopeptide antibiotics, and streptogramin B antibiotics. In addition to the synthetic potential of these cyclization catalysts, which is the main focus of this review, different enzymes for tailoring of peptide scaffolds as well as the manipulation of carrier proteins with reporter-labeled coenzyme A analogs are discussed.
