Without the presence of a phosphotyrosyl group, a phage library derived non-phosphorylated cyclic peptide ligand of Grb2-SH2 domain attributed its high affinity and specificity to well-defined and highly favored interactions of its structural elements with the binding pocket of the protein. We have disclosed a significant compensatory role of the Glu(2-) sidechain for the absence of the phosphate functionality on Tyr(0) in the peptide ligand, cyclo(CH(2)CO-Glu(2-)-Leu-Tyr(0)-Glu-Asn-Val-Gly-Met(5+)-Tyr-Cys)-amide (termed G1TE). In this study, we report the importance of hydrophobic residue at the Tyr+5 site in G1TE. Both acidic and basic amino acid substitutes are disfavored at this position, and replacement of Met with beta-tert-butyl-Ala was found to improve the antagonist properties. Besides, the polarity of the cyclization linkage was implicated as important in stabilizing the favored binding conformation. Oxidation of the thioether linkage into sulfoxide facilitated the binding to Grb2-SH2 markedly. Simultaneous modification of the three distant sites within G1TE provided the best agent with an IC(50) of 220 nM, which is among the most potent non-phosphorous- and non-phosphotyrosine-mimic containing Grb2-SH2 domain inhibitors yet reported. This potent peptidomimetic provides a novel template for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of erbB2-related cancer. Biological assays on G1TE(Gla(2-)) in which the original residue of Glu(2-) was substituted by gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) indicated that it could inhibit the interaction between activated GF receptor and Grb2 protein in cell homogenates of MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells at the 2 microM level. More significantly, both G1TE(Gla(2-)) alone and the conjugate of G1TE(Gla(2-)) with a peptide carrier can effectively inhibit intracellular association of erbB2 and Grb2 in the same cell lines with IC(50) of 50 and 2 microM, respectively. 相似文献

A nonphosphorylated disulfide-bridged peptide, cyclo(Cys-Glu1-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Val-Gly-Met-Tyr9-Cys)-amide (termed G1) has been identified, by phage library, that binds to the Grb2-SH2 domain but not the src SH2 domain. Synthetic G1 blocks the Grb2-SH2 domain association (IC50 of 15.5 microM) with natural phosphopeptide ligands. As a new structural motif that binds to the Grb2-SH2 domain in a pTyr-independent manner, the binding affinity of G1 is contributed by the highly favored interactions of its structural elements interacting with the binding pocket of the protein. These interactions involve side-chains of amino acids Glu1, Tyr3, Glu4, Asn5, and Met8. Also a specific conformation is required for the cyclic peptide when bound to the protein. Ala scanning within G1 and molecular modeling analysis suggest a promising model in which G1 peptide binds in the phosphotyrosine binding site of the Grb2-SH2 domain in a beta-turn-like conformation. Replacement of Tyr3 or Asn5 with Ala abrogates the inhibitory activity of the peptide, indicating that G1 requires a Y-X-N consensus sequence similar to that found in natural pTyr-containing ligands, but without Tyr phosphorylation. Significantly, the Ala mutant of Glu1, i.e. the amino acid N-terminal to Y3, remarkably reduces the binding affinity. The position of the Glu1 side-chain is confirmed to provide a complementary role for pTyr3, as demonstrated by the low micromolar inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.02 microM) of the nonphosphorylated peptide 11, G1(Gla1), in which Glu1 was replaced by gamma-carboxy-glutamic acid (Gla). 相似文献

Following our earlier work on a phage library derived non-phosphorylated thioether-cyclized peptide inhibitor of Grb2 SH2 domain, a series of small peptide analogues with various cyclization linkage or various ring size were designed and synthesized and evaluated to investigate the optimal conformational constraint for this novel Grb2-SH2 blocker. Our previous SAR studies have indicated that constrained conformation as well as all amino acids except Leu(2) and Gly(7) in this lead peptide, cyclo(CH(2)CO-Glu(1)-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Val-Gly-Met-Tyr-Cys(10))-amide (termed G1TE), was necessary for sustenance of the biological activity. In this study, in an effort to derive potent and bioavailable Grb2-SH2 inhibitor with minimal sequence, we undertook a systematic conformational study on this non-phosphorylated cyclic ligand by optimizing the ring linkage, ring configuration and ring size. The polarity and configuration of the cyclization linkage were implicated important in assuming the active conformation. Changing the flexible thioether linkage in G1TE into the relatively rigid sulfoxide linkage secured a 4-fold increase in potency (4, IC(50)=6.5 microM). However, open chain, shortening or expanding the ring size led to a marked loss of inhibitory activity. Significantly, the introduction of omega-amino carboxylic acid linker in place of three C-terminal amino acids in G1TE can remarkably recover the apparently favorable conformation, which is otherwise lost because of the reduced ring size. This modification, combined with favorable substitutions of Gla for Glu(1) and Adi for Glu(4) in the resulting six-residue cyclic peptide, afforded peptide 19, with an almost equal potency (19, IC(50)=23.3 microM) relative to G1TE. Moreover, the lipophilic chain in omega-amino carboxylic acid may confer better cell membrane permeability to 19. These newly developed G1TE analogues with smaller ring size and less peptide character but equal potency can serve as templates to derive potent and specific non-phosphorylated Grb2-SH2 antagonists. 相似文献

Development of Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists is an effective approach to inhibit the growth of malignant cells by modulating Grb2-related Ras signaling. We report here potent Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists that do not rely on phosphotyrosine or its mimics. These non-phosphorylated antagonists were developed and further modified by constraining the backbone conformation and optimizing amino acid side chains of a phage library-derived peptide, G1TE. After extensive SAR studies and structural optimization, non-phosphorylated peptide 12 was discovered with an IC(50) of 75 nM. This potent peptidomimetic provides a novel template for the development of non-pTyr containing Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists and acts as a chemotherapeutic lead for the treatment of erbB2-related cancer. 相似文献

The phage library derived, nonphosphorylated and thioether-cyclized peptide, termed G1TE, cyclo(CH(2)CO-Glu(1)-Leu-Tyr(3)-Glu-Asn-Val-Gly-Met-Tyr-Cys(10))-amid e, represents a new structural motif that binds to the Grb2-SH2 domain in a pTyr-independent manner, with an IC(50) of 20 microM. The retention of binding affinity is very sensitive with respect to peptide ring-size alterations and Ala mutations. We demonstrated previously that the Glu(1) side chain and its closely related analogs partially compensate for the absence of the phosphate functionality on Tyr(3), and, based on molecular modeling, these acidic side-chains complex with the Arg67 and Arg86 side-chains of the protein in the binding cavity. In this study we judiciously altered and incorporated various natural and unnatural amino acids as Tyr replacements within the -YEN- motif, and we demonstrate the functional importance and structural requirement of Tyr(3) for effective binding of this novel non-phosphorylated ligand to the Grb2-SH2 domain. The phenyl side-chain moiety and a polar functional group with specific orientation in position Y(3) of the peptide are particularly required. Using SPR binding assays, a submicromolar inhibitor (IC(50) = 0.70 microM) was obtained when Glu(1) was replaced with alpha-aminoadipate and Tyr(3) was replaced with 4-carboxymethyl-Phe, providing peptide 14, G1TE(Adi(1), cmPhe(3)). Peptide 14 also inhibited Grb2/p185(erb)(B-2) protein association in cell homogenates of erbB-2-overexpressing MDA-MA-453 cancer cells at near one micromolar concentrations. 相似文献

The SH2 domain of growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) has been the focus of numerous studies, primarily because of the important roles it plays in signal transduction. More recently, it has emerged as a useful protein to study the consequences of ligand preorganization upon energetics and structure in protein-ligand interactions. The Grb2-SH2 domain is known to form a domain-swapped dimer, and as part of our investigations toward correlating structure and energetics in biological systems, we examined the effects that domain-swapping dimerization of the Grb2-SH2 domain had upon ligand binding affinities. Isothermal titration calorimetry was performed using Grb2-SH2 in both its monomeric and domain-swapped dimeric forms and a phosphorylated tripeptide AcNH-pTyr-Val-Asn-NH(2) that is similar to the Shc sequence recognized by Grb2-SH2 in vivo. The two binding sites of domain-swapped dimer exhibited a 4- and a 13-fold reduction in ligand affinity compared to monomer. Crystal structures of peptide-bound and uncomplexed forms of Grb2-SH2 domain-swapped dimer were obtained and reveal that the orientation of residues V122, V123, and R142 may influence the conformation of W121, an amino acid that is believed to play an important role in Grb2-SH2 ligand sequence specificity. These findings suggest that domain-swapping of Grb2-SH2 not only results in a lower affinity for a Shc-derived ligand, but it may also affect ligand specificity. 相似文献

Development of Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists is considered to be an effective and non-cytotoxic strategy to develop new antiproliferative agents because of their potential to shut down the Ras signaling pathway. We developed a concise route for the efficient synthesis of G1TE analogs on solid phase. Using this route, a series of cyclic peptides that do not rely on phosphotyrosine or its mimics were designed and synthesized based upon the phage library-derived cyclopeptide, G1TE. Considering that Gly7 plays prominent roles for G1TE binding to the Grb2-SH2 domain, we introduced different amino acids in the 7th position. The D-Ala7-containing peptide 3 demonstrates improved binding affinity by adopting favorable conformation for protein binding. This can be rationalized by molecular modeling. The optimization at the Leu2 position was also studied, and the resulting cyclopeptides exhibited remarkably improved binding affinity. Based upon these global modifications, a highly potent peptide ligand 9 was discovered with a Kd = 17 nM, evaluated by Biacore binding assay. This new analog is one of the most potent non-phosphorus-containing Grb2-SH2 antagonists reported to date. This potent peptidomimetic provides a new template for the development of non-pTyr containing Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists and acts as a chemotherapeutic lead for the treatment of erbB2-related cancer. 相似文献

Summary One of the critical intracellular signaling pathways involves specific interactions between growth factor receptors and the
adaptor protein Grb2. These interactions normally involve specific tyrosine phosphorylated regions in receptors and other
cognate proteins. Following the lead of our recent findings that a phage library based non-phosphorylated disulfide linked
11-mer peptide inhibited such interactions, we report here the synthesis of novel redox-stable cyclic peptide analogs. These
include thioether cyclized and backbone cyclized structures. The thioether analog was prepared under mild conditions from
an N-terminally chloroacetylated and C-terminally cysteine extended peptide precursor. The thioether peptide showed equipotent
binding affinity for the Grb2-SH2 domain (IC50=10–15 μM) when compared to the disulfide cyclized lead-peptide. The bioactive thioether linked peptide was demonstrated to
offer advantages to the disulfide cyclized peptides under physiological conditions. 相似文献

Synthesis of orthogonally protected (2S)-2-amino-3-(3-amino-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propionic acid (10) suitable for solid phase peptide synthesis and its first use for the preparation of nonphosphorylated Grb2-SH2 domain antagonists (4a-c) are reported. The 3-aminotyrosine containing sulfoxide-cyclized hexapeptide (4b) exhibited potent Grb2-SH2 domain binding affinity with IC50 = 50 nM, which represents the highest affinity yet reported for a peptide inhibitor against Grb2-SH2 domain with only 6 residues free of phosphotyrosine or phosphotyrosine mimics. This potent small peptidomimetic 4b may be representative of a new class of therapeutically relevant Grb2-SH2 domain-directed agents, and acts as a chemotherapeutic lead for the treatment of erbB2-related cancers. 相似文献

The solution structure of the hGrb7-SH2 domain in complex with a ten amino acid phosphorylated peptide ligand representative of the erbB2 receptor tyrosine kinase (pY1139) is presented as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance methods. The hGrb7-SH2 domain structure reveals the Src homology 2 domain topology consisting of a central -sheet capped at each end by an -helix. The presence of a four residue insertion in the region between -strand E and the EF loop and resulting influences on the SH2 domain/peptide complex structure are discussed. The binding conformation of the erbB2 peptide is in a -turn similar to that found in phosphorylated tyrosine peptides bound to the Grb2-SH2 domain. To our knowledge this is only the second example of an SH2 domain binding its naturally occurring ligands in a turn, instead of extended, conformation. Close contacts between residues responsible for binding specificity in hGrb7-SH2 and the erbB2 peptide are characterized and the potential effect of mutation of these residues on the hGrb7-SH2 domain structure is discussed. 相似文献

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a useful biosensor technique for the study of biomolecular interactions, with the potential
for high-throughput screening of ligand interactions with drug targets. The key to its successful use, however, is in the
appropriate design of the experiment, including the mode of immobilization to the biosensor chip. We report an investigation
of the use of SPR for measuring the affinity of the G7-18NATE peptide ligand for its Grb7-SH2 domain target involved in the
migratory and proliferative potential of cancer cells. Previous studies have shown that the cyclic non-phosphorylated peptide,
G7-18NATE, inhibits Grb7 interactions with upstream binding partners and is able to inhibit both cell migration and proliferation
of cancer cells. We report the synthesis of a biotinylated G7-18NATE covalently attached to a linker (G7-18NATE-ASASASK-Biotin)
and compare its interaction with the Grb7-SH2 domain by SPR using three different immobilization strategies; immobilisation
of the peptide via streptavidin, immobilization of glutathione S-transferase (GST)-Grb7-SH2 domain via anti-GST antibody,
and immobilization of biotinylated Grb7-SH2 domain via streptavidin. This revealed that sensorgrams free from non-specific
binding and displaying simple kinetics were most readily achieved by immobilising the protein rather than the peptide, in
spite of the lower response associated with this method. K
D values of ~300 μM were determined for both strategies at pH 7.4. This compared with a K
D value of 4.4 μM at pH 6 demonstrating the importance of pH on this interaction. Overall, the immobilised protein systems
are most suitable for future comparative screening efforts using SPR. 相似文献

Functional implications of the conformational switch in AICD peptide upon binding to Grb2-SH2 domain
It has been hypothesized previously that synergistic effect of both amyloid precursor protein intracellular C-terminal domain (AICD) and Aβ aggregation could contribute to Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Structural studies of AICD have found no stable globular fold over a broad range of pH. Present work is based on the premises that a conformational switch involving the flipping of C-terminal helix of AICD would be essential for effective binding with the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of growth factor receptor binding protein-2 (Grb2) and subsequent initiation of Grb2-mediated endo-lysosomal pathway. High-resolution crystal structures of Grb2-SH2 domain bound to AICD peptides reveal a unique mode of binding where the peptides assume a noncanonical conformation that is unlike other structures of AICD peptides bound to protein-tyrosine-binding domains or that of its free state; rather, a flipping of the C-terminal helix of AICD is evident. The involvement of different AICD residues in Grb2-SH2 interaction is further elucidated through fluorescence-based assays. Our results reveal the significance of a specific interaction of the two molecules to optimize the rapid transport of AICD inside endosomal vesicles presumably to reduce the cytotoxic load. 相似文献

Based on X-ray crystal structure information, mono charged phosphinate isosteres of phosphotyrosine have been designed and incorporated in a short inhibitory peptide sequence of the Grb2-SH2 domain. The resulting compounds, by exploiting additional interactions, inhibit binding to the Grb2-SH2 domain as potently as the corresponding doubly charged (phosphonomethyl)phenylalanine analogue. 相似文献

Grb7 is a member of the Grb7 family of proteins, which also includes Grb10 and Grb14. All three proteins have been found to be overexpressed in certain cancers and cancer cell lines. In particular, Grb7 (along with the receptor tyrosine kinase erbB2) is overexpressed in 20-30% of breast cancers. In general, growth factor receptor bound (Grb) proteins bind to activated membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs; e.g., the epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR) through their Src homology 2 (SH2) domains. In particular, Grb7 binds to erbB2 (a.k.a. EGFR2) and may be involved in cell signaling pathways that promote the formation of metastases and inflammatory responses. In previous studies, we reported the solution structure and the backbone relaxation behavior of the Grb7-SH2/erbB2 peptide complex. In this study, isothermal titration calorimetry studies have been completed by measuring the thermodynamic binding parameters of several phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides representative of natural Grb7 receptor ligands as well as ligands developed through combinatorial peptide screening methods. The entirety of these calorimetric studies is interpreted in an effort to describe the specific ligand binding characteristics of the Grb7 protein. 相似文献

The growth factor receptor-binding protein-Src homology 2 (Grb2-SH2) domain plays an important role in the oncogenic Ras signal transduction pathway, which involves cell proliferation and differentiation. Therefore, the Grb2-SH2 domain has been chosen as our target for development of potential antiproliferative agents. Herein, we report the study of the inhibitory effects of small nonphosphorylated peptide analogs interacting with the Grb2-SH2 domain protein by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. A set of 8 related peptide analogs were synthesized, purified, and characterized. Their inhibitory effects on Grb2-SH2 were evaluated by the SPR technology developed with the BIACORE X instrument. The lead peptide, Fmoc-Glu-Tyr-Aib-Asn-NH2 (Fmoc-E-Y-Aib-N; Fmoc: 9-fluorenylmethyoxycarbonyl; Aib=alpha-amino isobutyric acid) inhibited Grb2-SH2 domain function with an IC50 value of 8.7 microM. A molecular modeling study of the lead peptide indicated that the glutamate in the Fmoc peptide is ideally positioned to form a strong salt bridge to Arg 67 in the Grb2-SH2 domain, using both its backbone carbonyl and its acidic group. Residue Glu 89 in Grb2-SH2 flips inward to fill the binding site and partially replace the phosphate group as a hydrogen-bond acceptor. Results of these studies provide important information for further development of potent nonphosphorylated peptide inhibitors of the Grb2-SH2 domain. 相似文献

Grb7 is an adapter-type signaling protein, which is recruited via its SH2 domain to a variety of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including ErbB2 and ErbB3. It is overexpressed in breast, esophageal, and gastric cancers, and may contribute to the invasive potential of cancer cells. Molecular interactions involving Grb7 therefore provide attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. We have utilized phage display random peptide libraries as a source of small peptide ligands to the SH2 domain of Grb7. Screening these libraries against purified Grb7 SH2 resulted in the identification of Grb7-binding peptide phage clones that contained a non-phosphorylated Tyr-X-Asn (YXN) motif. The tyrosine-phosphorylated form of this motif is characteristic of Grb7 SH2 domain binding sites identified in RTKs and other signaling proteins such as Shc. Peptides that are non-phosphorylated have greater potential in the development of therapeutics because of the instability of a phosphate group in vivo. Using a biased library approach with this conserved YXN motif, we identified seven different peptide phage clones, which bind specifically to the SH2 domain of Grb7. These peptides did not bind to the SH2 domain of Grb2 (which also selects for Asn at pY(+2)) or Grb14, a closely related family member. The cyclic structure of the peptides was required to bind to the Grb7 SH2 domain. Importantly, the synthetic Grb7-binding peptide G7-18 in cell lysates was able to specifically inhibit the association of Grb7 with the ErbB family of RTKs, in particular ErbB3, in a dose-dependent manner. These peptides will be useful in the development of targeted molecular therapeutics for cancers overexpressing Grb7 and in the development of Grb7-specific inhibitors to gain a complete understanding of the physiological role of Grb7. 相似文献

Under specific conditions, the complex formed by the adaptor protein Grb2 and the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor Sos2 is responsible for the activation of Ras, a low-molecular-weight GTPase involved in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. The interaction between the N-terminal SH3 domain of the mouse Grb2 and one of its potential target sequences in the mouse, Sos2, a 15-residue peptide corresponding to residues 1264-1278, had been studied by NMR. However, the resulting data provided very limited information on the structure of the peptide and its interaction with the protein. Here, we present results from a molecular-dynamics simulation aimed at producing a realistic, atomic model for the interaction between the N-terminal SH3 domain of Grb2 and the SPLLPKLPPKTYKRE peptide from Sos2. In the simulation, the peptide adopts an extended conformation over the protein's binding surface. The proposed polyproline-type-II helicity appears only locally, and the peptide displays substantial flexibility. It is found that the peptide residues Lys10 to Tyr12 could be responsible for most of the specificity of the interaction. 相似文献
