Diversity of Secondary Structure in Catalytic Peptides with β-Turn-Biased Sequences
X-ray crystallography has been applied to the structural analysis of a series of tetrapeptides that were previously assessed for catalytic activity in an atroposelective bromination reaction. Common to the series is a central Pro-Xaa sequence, where Pro is either l- or d-proline, which was chosen to favor nucleation of canonical β-turn secondary structures. Crystallographic analysis of 35 diffe...
متن کاملPeptide Analogues Containing β-Amino Acids for the Melanocortin System
The melanocortin system is a complex control center that regulates various physiological pathways, which include skin pigmentation, steroidogenesis, sexual function, sebaceous lipid production, energy and weight homeostasis, and food satiety. [1,2] This system consists of five G-protein coupled receptors (MC1R-MC5R), four known endogenous agonists, and two known endogenous antagonists. [2, 3] T...
متن کاملβ-Turn sequences promote stability of peptide substrates for kinases within the cytosolic environment.
A strategy was developed to extend the lifetime of an peptide-based substrate for Abl kinase in the cytosolic environment. Small β-turn structures were added to the peptide's N-terminus to block entry into peptidase catalytic sites. The influence of the size of the β-turn and two covalent cross-linking strategies on the rate of hydrolysis was assessed. The most peptidase-resistant substrate was...
متن کاملProduction of disulfide-stabilized transmembrane peptide complexes for structural studies.
Physical interactions among the lipid-embedded alpha-helical domains of membrane proteins play a crucial role in folding and assembly of membrane protein complexes and in dynamic processes such as transmembrane (TM) signaling and regulation of cell-surface protein levels. Understanding the structural features driving the association of particular sequences requires sophisticated biophysical and...
