Texto completo da fonteThe aim of this work was to explore the structural and functional diversity of polypeptides that are found in plants. Expanding knowledge of simililarities between plant use of these compound and animal use promises exceptional opportunities for finding, from plant research, new structures with biomedical and biotechnological potential.
A fractionation protocol was developed and applied to many plant species, providing fractions enriched in polypeptides, amenable to chemical and biological evaluation. From one species, the common field pansy (Viola arvensis), a 29-amino-acid residue polypeptide was isolated, named varv A, which revealed a remarkable macrocyclic structure (i.e., N- and C-termini are joined) stabilised by three knotted disulfides.
Varv A, together with an increasing number of homologous peptides, form the currently known peptide family of cyclotides. Their stable structure makes them an attractive scaffold for protein engineering. In addition, they display a wide range of biological activities (e.g., antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and insecticidal). As a part of this work, the cytotoxic effects of varv A and two other isolated cyclotides were evaluated in a human cell-line panel: all were active in the low µM range. Most likely, these effects involve pore formation through cell membranes.
Cyclotides were found to be common in the plant family Violaceae; with eleven cyclotides isolated and sequenced from V. arvensis, V. cotyledon, and Hybanthus parviflorus. For six members of the genus Viola, cyclotide expression profiles were examined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS): all expressed notably complex mixtures, with single species containing more than 50 cyclotides. These profiles reflect the evolution of the genus.
To assess these mixtures, a rational strategy for MS based amino acid sequencing of cyclotides was developed, circumventing inherent structural problems, such as low content of positively charged amino acids and the macrocyclic structure. This was achieved by aminoethylation of cysteines, which, following tryptic digestion, produced fragments of size and charge amenable to MS analysis. This method was also modified and used for mapping of disulfide bonds.
Methods for isolation and characterisation developed in this work may prove useful not only for further studies on macrocyclic polypeptides from plants, but also for other plant peptides and disulfide-rich peptides from animals.

Texto completo da fonteThis work is aimed at helical polypeptides synthesis by polymerization of amino-acids N-carboxyanhydrides. The first part concerns the development of elicitor polymers, able to stimulate self defences of plants. These biodegradable and non toxic polypeptides are constituted by amino-acids which induce a-helix, such as alanine and glutamic acid. The hydrophobic and insoluble polymers characterized by MALDI-TOF, zone capillary electrophoresis, circular dichroism and NMR. These compounds have been tested using peroxidase test, early elicitation marker. A leader has been tested in field and its synthesis has been developped to kilogram scale. The second part of this work is devoted to an unnatural sililated analog of proline, the silaproline. The synthesis of this compound have been optimized in order to produce it to large scale. Then, the silaproline conformations have been studied in modeling dipeptides by molecular modelization, NMR and IR. At last, the NCA of silaproline has been synthetized in order to develop poly(silaproline)s and to study the conformations of these polypeptides
Georgilis, Evangelos. "Engineering of Thermoresponsive Diblock Elastin-like Polypeptides". Thesis, Bordeaux, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019BORD0444.
Texto completo da fonteThe present work focuses on the engineering of diblock elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) that thermally assemble into nanostructures after the application of chemical modifications. The strategy involved the development of diblock ELPs composed of a hydrophobic isoleucine-containing block fused at its N-terminal end to a block containing residues amenable to chemoselective modifications, namely methionine. This particular residue was employed because the orthogonal modification of its thioether group allows for the change of the hydrophilic/lipophilic balance of the diblock ELP and the possible simultaneous grafting of functional ligands. A first generation of diblock ELPs was therefore designed by means of molecular clonings, produced in E. coli, and characterized by chemical methods to further monitor post-modifications. The chemical modifications were applied at the C-terminal cysteine to control the system monodispersity and introduce fluorescent probes, and also at methionine in order to change the hydrophilic/lipophilic balance and introduce reactive groups. The self-assembly of the non-modified and post-modified ELPs was monitored by means of turbidimetry, nanoparticle tracking analysis and dynamic light scattering, which showed that these sequences possessed a transition from monomers to aggregates. To access nanoparticle formation, a second generation of diblock ELPs was developed, the design of which was based on theoretical modeling. The second generation diblocks self-assembled into nanoparticles by means of methionine post-modifications. It is expected that these sequences will contribute to the development of diblock ELP-based nano-formulations

Texto completo da fonteLiving cells use 20 canonical α amino acids during ribosomal protein synthesis, although in rare cases, other amino acids such as selenocysteine or pyrrolysine can be used. The repertoire of usable amino acids is therefore quite limited. This limits the ability to build proteins having new properties. A dominant trend in the field of protein engineering is the construction of systems capable of incorporating non-canonical amino acids during in vivo protein synthesis. These studies have been very successful, but all amino acids incorporated until the 2010s were α-amino acids. Incorporation of β-amino acids at discrete sites would create unprecedented flexibility in the main chain, which would increase the potential for new protein folds. It has recently been shown using an in vitro protein synthesis system that it is possible to incorporate β-amino acids at specific positions (Katoh and Suga, 2018). In order to transpose this system in vivo, the main limitation is the aminoacylation of tRNAs with β -amino acids. It has recently been proposed that some aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases can use β-amino acids, but this capacity remains limited. The aim of this thesis is to incorporate β-methionine in polypeptides in vivo. For this purpose, we have characterized the recognition and use of L-β-homomethionine by methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) from E. coli. In particular, we have determined a high-resolution crystallographic structure of the MetRS:β-Met complex. Using fluorescence spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy, we were able to demonstrate the activation of -Met into adenylate as well as its esterification onto tRNAMet. However, the measured efficiencies are very small compared to what was published. Contamination of commercial β-Met with methionine may explain these differences. An in silico study based on the structure of the MetRS:β-Met complex was conducted in collaboration with the laboratory's bioinformatics team in order to search for mutant enzymes more efficient in the use of β-amino acids. Finally, we initiated the implementation of a directed evolution method to improve the efficiency of incorporation of amino acids in vivo

Texto completo da fonteThis thesis describes the preparation of elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) derivatives and the study of their physico-chemical and biological properties. Methionine-containing ELPs were chemoselectively modified using either alkyl halides or epoxides or by oxidation of their methionine residues. The successful functionalization was assessed by NMR and mass spectrometry analysis of the resulting compounds. The thermoresponsive properties of these ELP derivatives were evaluated either by light scattering or by turbidity measurements showing the strong effect of these modifications on the ELPs transition temperature (TI). The counterion affect on the thermosensitivity of the polycationic derivatives was also studied. The synthesis of ELP glycopolypeptides was finally achieved by conjugating monosaccharides to the ELP alkyne derivatives through Huisgens cycloaddition. Along with the thermoresponsive properties, the bioactivity of the ELP glycoconjugates was studied and proved their ability to specifically bind lectins. Their use for protein sorting and release was preliminary evidenced

Natural systems produce macromolecules that assemble into complex, highly ordered structures. In particular, proteins and peptides derived from the 20 naturally occurring amino acids are sequenced macromolecules that can fold into secondary and tertiary structures and can self assemble into quaternary structures. Through weak interactions, these ordered systems produce high-strength materials, provide physical cues to induce cell functions and morphologies, efficiently harvest energy, and transport materials. One of the key challenges in the field of polymer chemistry is the ability to generate synthetic systems that can demonstrate the highly ordered structure, self-assembly, and responsive behavior of these macromolecules. Synthetic polypeptides have received attention because of their unique structural properties and biocompatibility. Like their naturally occurring analogs, these molecules have a poly(amino acid) backbone and posses the ability to fold into secondary structures. Synthetic homo polypeptides are synthesized by the ring opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides formed from naturally occurring amino acids. Although these macromolecules' secondary structure can be controlled to some extent, we are limited by the given side chain, which dictates polymer function, structure, and responsive behavior to temperature or pH among many other properties. We have developed a new approach to the manipulation of synthetic polypeptide composition and function through the introduction of a new NCA polymer, poly(Y-propargyl-L-glutamate) (PPLG) which contains a pendant alkyne group that can be reacted with an azide by the 1,3 cycloaddition "click" reaction. With this system, we can incorporate functional groups that are ordinarily difficult to introduce because of cross-reactions or exhaustive protection-deprotection steps. In addition, we can more directly mimic the adaptive function and responsive behavior of naturally occurring polypeptides. This thesis focuses on the development of the PPLG system and the use of the system for synthetic biomimics, drug delivery, and gene delivery. For synthetic biomimics, as an initial example, densely grafted polymers were synthesized to demonstrate the utility of this synthetic approach. In addition, synthetic antimicrobial polypeptides were synthesized to mimic naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides. For drug and gene delivery, a library of pH responsive peptides were synthesized and characterized.

Creating new scaffolds for cells is critical to the development of new tissue engineering techniques. In this work, the synthesis of new polypeptide systems is discussed. These systems are intended for the formation of hydrogels which can then be used as cell substrates. Attempts at using the clickable synthetic polypeptide poly(ypropargyl L-glutamate) (PPLG) to form a self-assembly amphiphilic system is discussed, as is the formation of potentially amphiphilic block copolymers with PPLG. The synthesis of a hydrolytically stable synthetic polypeptide with click functionality is also investigated. Additionally, the creation of a polypeptide system with two functionalities available for orthogonal click chemistry is discussed.
