B22 Glu des-B30 insulin: a novel monomeric insulin.
Studies on monomeric insulin with reduced self-association are important in the development of insulin pharmaceutical preparations with rapid hypoglycemic action on patients with diabetes. Here we report a novel monomeric insulin, B22 Glu des-B30 insulin, prepared from a single chain insulin precursor with B22 Arg mutated to Glu, which was expressed in Pichia pastoris and converted to B22 Glu d...
متن کاملThe role of the arginine-B22 residue in insulin action.
We describe the modification of the side chain of the arginine-B22 residue of insulin by the N8N9-(1, 2-dihydroxycyclohex-1,2-ylene) group and by the adipoyl group. These are the first insulin derivatives described that contain a modified arginine residue in an otherwise unaltered molecule. When tested for their ability to lower blood sugar concentration, both modified insulins showed a specifi...
متن کاملCrystal structure of destripeptide (B28^B30) insulin: implications for insulin dissociation1
Destripeptide (B28^B30) insulin (DTRI) is an insulin analogue that has much weaker association ability than native insulin but keeps most of its biological activity. It can be crystallized from a solution containing zinc ions at near-neutral pH. Its crystal structure has been determined by molecular replacement and refined at 1.9 Aî resolution. DTRI in the crystal exists as a loose hexamer comp...
متن کاملInhaled insulin: overview of a novel route of insulin administration
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by inadequate insulin secretion with resulting hyperglycemia. Diabetes complications include both microvascular and macrovascular disease, both of which are affected by optimal diabetes control. Many individuals with diabetes rely on subcutaneous insulin administration by injection or continuous infusion to control glucose levels. Novel routes of insu...
متن کاملZn(II) ions co-secreted with insulin suppress inherent amyloidogenic properties of monomeric insulin.
Insulin, a 51-residue peptide hormone, is an intrinsically amyloidogenic peptide, forming amyloid fibrils in vitro. In the secretory granules, insulin is densely packed together with Zn(II) into crystals of Zn(2)Insulin(6) hexamer, which assures osmotic stability of vesicles and prevents fibrillation of the peptide. However, after release from the pancreatic beta-cells, insulin dissociates into...
