We report a 100-fold increase in binding affinity of the Tat(48–57) peptide to HIV-1 transcriptional activator-responsive element (TAR) RNA by replacing Arg52, an essential and critical residue for Tat's specific binding, with (2S,4S)-4-guanidinoproline. The resulting αTat1M peptide is a far superior binder than γTat1M, a peptide containing another conformationally constrained arginine mimic, (2S,4S)-4-amino-N-(3-guanidinopropyl)proline, or even the control Tat peptide (CtrlTat) itself. Our observations are supported by circular dichroism (CD), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), gel electrophoresis and UV spectroscopy studies. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest increased interactions between the more compact αTat1M and TAR RNA, relative to CtrlTat. The CD signature of the RNA itself remains largely unchanged upon binding of the peptides. The Tat mimetics further have better cell uptake properties than the control Tat peptide, thus increasing their potential application as specific TAR-binding molecules.

The embodiment of 4-aminoproline residues (Amp) into the arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) sequence led to the discovery of a novel class of high-affinity αvβ3/αvβ 5 integrin binders [IC50h(αvβ 3) 0.03-5.12 nM; IC50h(αvβ 5) 0.88-154 nM]. A total of eight cyclopeptides of type cyclo-[-Arg-Gly-Asp-Amp-], 5-12, were assembled by a standard solid-phase peptide synthesis protocol that involved the C2-carboxyl and C4-amino functionalities of the proline scaffolds, leaving the Nα- nuclear site untouched. Functionalization of this vacant proline site with either alkyl or acyl substituents proved feasible, with significant benefit to the integrin binding capabilities of the ligands. Notably, six out of eight cyclopeptide inhibitors, 5-7 and 9-11, showed moderate yet significant selectivity toward the αvβ3 receptor. The three-dimensional structure in water was determined by NMR techniques and molecular dynamics calculations. Docking studies to the X-ray crystal structure of the extracellular segment of integrin αvβ3 complexed with reference compound 1 were also performed on selected analogues to highlight the structural features required for potent ligand binding affinity.

Engineering of a 129-Residue Tripod Protein by Chemoselective Ligation of Proline-II Helices

A 129-residue tripod protein was designed, synthesized, and biophysically characterized.This receptor-adhesive modular protein contained three 30-residue proline-II helices linked to a 9-residue proline-II helix through thioether bonds.Coupling of 6-maleimidohexanoic acid succinimido ester to cis-Nα-Boc-4-amino-L-proline furnished in 77percent yield the maleimido acid cis-N-Boc-4-(6-maleimidohexanamido)-L-proline (Boc-Prm), which was used in the solid-phase synthesis of the linker peptide CH3-CO-Pro3-Prm3-Pro3-NH2.The leg peptide, the 40-residue thiol Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro-Gly-Tyr-Gly-Pro30-Cys-NH2, was also made by solid-phase synthesis.The tripod protein was prepared by Michael addition of the thiol groups of three leg peptides to the three maleimide groups of the linker peptide.By 13C NMR spectrometry, the linker peptide was a proline-II helix, as indicated by the presence of only trans Pro-Pro resonances for its β and γ carbons.By circular dichroic spectroscopy, the model peptide CH3-CO-Pro9-NH2, the linker peptide, the leg peptide, and the tripod proteinn each contained substantial proline-II helix, as indicated by a strong negative band at 205 nm and a weak positive band at 226 nm.Since the Pro30 proline-II helix of each leg is about 93 Angstroem long, two Arg-Gly-Asp sites on different legs of the tripod protein could be as much as ca. 250 Angstroem apart.
