Second generation specific-enzyme-activated rotaxane propeptides.

چکیده
A [2]rotaxane, in which the peptidic axle is protected from degradation by the macrocyclic sheath and terminated with a novel glycosidase-cleavable stopper, is rendered water-soluble by derivatisation with tetra(ethylene glycol) (TetEG) or glucosylated tetra(ethylene glycol) (Glc-TetEG) chains using the CuAAC 'click' reaction. The Glc-TetEG-derivatised rotaxane propeptide is >50 000 times more soluble in aqueous media than the parent rotaxane. Activation of the water-soluble rotaxane propeptide with a β-galactosidase efficiently releases the parent peptide.

Type III-B rotaxane dendrimers.
Type III-B first generation [3]rotaxane and second generation [4]rotaxane dendrimers have been synthesized via (1) a modified copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), (2) Glaser-Hay's acetylenic oxidative homo-coupling, and (3) amide formation. The dendron does not reveal obvious cytotoxicities in L929 fibroblast cells. The rotaxane dendrimers can capture ammonia and are switchable ...
متن کاملElastase and the LasA protease of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are secreted with their propeptides.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase and the LasA protease are synthesized as preproenzymes with long amino-terminal propeptides. The elastase propeptide is cleaved autocatalytically in the periplasm to form a transient, inactive elastase-propeptide complex. In contrast, the processing of proLasA does not involve autoproteolysis. In this study, we analyzed short-term P. aeruginosa cultures under con...
متن کاملAssembly and processing of procollagen type III in chick embryo blood vessels.
The processing of [3H]proline-labeled procollagen III in excised chick embryo blood vessels was found to differ significantly from that of procollagen I in the same tissue. While first the amino propeptides and then the carboxyl propeptides were fairly rapidly cleaved from procollagen I, only the carboxyl propeptides were split off procollagen III, leaving pN-collagen III. This intermediate, wh...
متن کاملPropeptide-Mediated Inhibition of Cognate Gingipain Proteinases
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogen associated with chronic periodontitis. The organism's cell-surface cysteine proteinases, the Arg-specific proteinases (RgpA, RgpB) and the Lys-specific proteinase (Kgp), which are known as gingipains have been implicated as major virulence factors. All three gingipain precursors contain a propeptide of around 200 amino acids in length that is removed...
متن کاملThermally-activated chemiluminescent squaraine rotaxane endoperoxide with green emission.
A squaraine rotaxane endoperoxide with a truncated squaraine chromophore undergoes a cycloreversion reaction and emits green light that can be transferred to red acceptor dyes. The results demonstrate that chemiluminescence emission for squaraine rotaxane endoperoxides comes from the excited squaraine inside the rotaxane.
