On-Resin Recognition of Aromatic Oligopeptides and Proteins through Host-Enhanced Heterodimerization.

ABSTRACT: Peptide dimerization is ubiquitous in natural protein conjugates and artificial self-assemblies. A major challenge in artificial systems remains achieving quantitative peptide heterodimerization, critical for next-generation biomolecular purification and formulation of therapeutics. Here, we employ a synthetic host to simultaneously encapsulate an aromatic and a noncanonical l-perfluorophenylalanine-containing peptide through embedded polar-π interactions, constructing an unprecedented series of heteropeptide dimers. To demonstrate the utility, this heteropeptide dimerization strategy was applied toward on-resin recognition of N-terminal aromatic residues in peptides as well as insulin, both exhibiting high recycling efficiency (>95%). This research unveils a generic approach to exploit quantitative heteropeptide dimers for the design of supramolecular (bio)systems.

Project description:In this project, we combine two areas of research, experimental characterization and molecular docking studies of the interaction of positively charged oligopeptides with crucial blood plasma proteins. The investigated peptides are rich in NH2 groups of amino acid side chains from Dap, Orn, Lys, and Arg residues, which are relevant in protein interaction. The peptides are 9- and 11-mer with the following sequences: (Lys-Dab-Dab-Gly-Orn-Pro-His-Lys-Arg-Lys-Dbt), (Lys-Dab-Ala-Gly-Orn-Pro-His-Lys-Arg), and (Lys-Dab-Dab-Gly-Orn-Pro-Phe(2-F)-Lys-Arg). The net charge of the compound strongly depends on the pH environment and it is an important aspect of protein binding. The studied oligopeptides exhibit therapeutic properties: anti-inflammatory activity and the capacity to diminish reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, the mechanism of potential binding with blood plasma components is the next challenge. The binding interaction has been investigated under pseudo-physiological conditions with the main blood plasma proteins: albumin (BSA), α1-acid glycoprotein (AAG), and γ-globulin fraction (GGF). The biomolecular quenching constant (kq) and binding constant (Kb) were obtained by fluorescence spectroscopy at various temperatures. Simultaneously, the changes in the secondary structure of proteins were monitored by circular dichroism (CD) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) by quantity analysis. Moreover, molecular docking studies were conducted to estimate the binding affinity, the binding domain, and the chemical nature of these interactions. The results show that the investigated oligopeptides could be mainly transported by albumin, and the binding domain I is the most favored cavity. The BSA and GGF are able to form stable complexes with the studied compounds as opposed to AAG. The binding reactions are spontaneous processes. The highest binding constants were determined for Lys-Dab-Dab-Gly-Orn-Pro-His-Lys-Arg-Lys-Dbt peptide, in which the values of the binding constants Kb to BSA and GGF were 10.1 × 104 dm3mol-1 and 3.39 × 103 dm3mol-1, respectively. The positively charged surface of peptides participated in salt bridge interaction with proteins; however, hydrogen bonds were also formed. The secondary structure of BSA and GGF after contact with peptides was changed. A reduction in the α-helix structure was observed with an increase in the β-sheet and β-turn and random coil structures.
