Effect of intercalator and Lewis acid-base branched peptide complex formation: boosting affinity towards HIV-1 RRE RNA.

چکیده
High throughput screening of a 4096 compound library of boronic acid and acridine containing branched peptides revealed compounds that have dissociation constants in the low nanomolar regime for HIV-1 RRE IIB RNA. We demonstrate that branched peptide boronic acids A5, A6, and A7 inhibit the production of p24, an HIV-1 capsid protein, in a dose-dependent manner.

Proflavine acts as a Rev inhibitor by targeting the high-affinity Rev binding site of the Rev responsive element of HIV-1.
Rev is an essential regulatory HIV-1 protein that binds the Rev responsive element (RRE) within the env gene of the HIV-1 RNA genome, activating the switch between viral latency and active viral replication. Previously, we have shown that selective incorporation of the fluorescent probe 2-aminopurine (2-AP) into a truncated form of the RRE sequence (RRE-IIB) allowed the binding of an arginine-r...
متن کاملRNA-ligand interactions: affinity and specificity of aminoglycoside dimers and acridine conjugates to the HIV-1 Rev response element.
Semisynthetic aminoglycoside derivatives may provide a means to selectively target viral RNA sites, including the HIV-1 Rev response element (RRE). The design, synthesis, and evaluation of derivatives based upon neomycin B, kanamycin A, and tobramycin conjugates of 9-aminoacridine are presented. To evaluate the importance of the acridine moiety, a series of dimeric aminoglycosides as well as un...
متن کاملMolding a peptide into an RNA site by in vivo peptide evolution.
Short peptides corresponding to the arginine-rich domains of several RNA-binding proteins are able to bind to their specific RNA sites with high affinities and specificities. In the case of the HIV-1 Rev-Rev response element (RRE) complex, the peptide forms a single alpha-helix that binds deeply in a widened, distorted RNA major groove and makes a substantial set of base-specific and backbone c...
متن کاملTargeting folded RNA: a branched peptide boronic acid that binds to a large surface area of HIV-1 RRE RNA.
On-bead high-throughput screening of a medium-sized (1000-2000 Da) branched peptide boronic acid (BPBA) library consisting of 46,656 unique sequences against HIV-1 RRE RNA generated peptides with binding affinities in the low micromolar range. In particular, BPBA1 had a K(d) of 1.4 μM with RRE IIB, preference for RNA over DNA (27 fold), and selectivity of up to >75 fold against a panel of RRE I...
متن کاملCostabilization of peptide and RNA structure in an HIV Rev peptide-RRE complex.
An arginine-rich peptide corresponding to amino acids 34-50 of the human immunodeficiency virus Rev protein has been shown to bind specifically to its RNA-binding site (RRE) when the peptide is in an alpha-helical conformation. Mutation of any one of six amino acids (Thr34, Arg35, Arg38, Arg39, Asn40, or Arg44) was shown to strongly decrease specific RNA-binding affinity in vitro, suggesting th...
