Several engineered protein scaffolds have been developed recently to circumvent particular disadvantages of antibodies such as their large size and complex composition, low stability, and high production costs. We previously identified peptide aptamers containing one or two disulfide-bonds as an alternative ligand to the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R). Peptide aptamers (32 amino acids in length) were screened from a random peptide library by in vitro peptide selection using the evolutionary molecular engineering method "cDNA display". In this report, the antagonistic activity of the peptide aptamers were examined by an in vitro competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and an IL-6-dependent cell proliferation assay. The results revealed that a disulfide-rich peptide aptamer inhibited IL-6-dependent cell proliferation with similar efficacy to an anti-IL-6R monoclonal antibody. 相似文献

Endothelial dysfunction plays a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 beta and tumour necrosis factor alpha activate endothelial cells changing their resting phenotype to become pro-adhesive, pro-thrombotic and pro-atherogenic. Phage display in vivo biopanning has been used to identify peptide sequences that home to diseased regions of the vessel wall in low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) knockout mice. In LDLr knockout mice, peptide sequence determinants exhibiting organ specificity have been isolated. These sequences have applications for gene delivery, drug delivery and for improving contrast agents for vascular imaging. 相似文献

环糊精及其衍生物在多肽/蛋白质类药物非注射给药体系中的应用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
目前,多肽/蛋白质类药物多数需要采用注射剂型给药以确保其生物利用度。开发易于给药、病人顺应性高以及治疗费用更低的非注射剂型是非常有意义的。然而,多肽/蛋白质类药物直接进行非注射给药的生物利用度通常非常低,需要制备具有设计功能的载药系统,例如加入不同比例的酶抑制剂、吸收促进剂等以提高生物利用度。环糊精及其衍生物由于其能与客体分子形成包合物的特性,以及对粘膜的促渗透作用等,在多肽/蛋白质药物的非注射给药系统中获得了日益广泛的应用。综述了近年来环糊精及其衍生物在多肽/蛋白质类药物非注射给药体系中的应用情况。 相似文献

Recognition of foreign and dysregulated antigens by the cellular innate and adaptive immune systems is in large part dependent on the cell surface display of peptide/MHC (pMHC) complexes. The formation of such complexes requires the generation of antigenic peptides, proper folding of MHC molecules, loading of peptides onto MHC molecules, glycosylation, and transport to the plasma membrane. This complex series of biosynthetic, biochemical, and cell biological reactions is known as “antigen processing and presentation”. Here, we summarize recent work, focused on the structural and functional characterization of the key MHC-I-dedicated chaperones, tapasin, and TAPBPR. The mechanisms reflect the ability of conformationally flexible molecules to adapt to their ligands, and are comparable to similar processes that are exploited in peptide antigen loading in the MHC-II pathway. 相似文献

Isolated P450 monooxygenases have for long been neglected catalysts in enzyme technology. This is surprising as they display a remarkable substrate specificity catalyzing reactions, which represent a challenge for classic organic chemistry. On the other hand, many P450 monooxygenases are membrane bound, depend on rather complicated electron transfer systems and require expensive cofactors such as NAD(P)H. Their activities are low, and stability leaves much to be desired. The use of bacterial P450 monooxygenases from CYP102 family allows overcoming some of these handicaps. They are soluble and their turnovers are high, presumably because their N-terminal heme monooxygenase and their C-terminal diflavin reductase domain are covalently linked. In recent years, protein engineering approaches have been successfully used to turn CYP102 monooxgenases into powerful biocatalysts. 相似文献

A small model peptide, the FLAG epitope, was cloned into two filamentous phage display vectors, f88-4 and fd88-4, creating phages f88-FLAG and fd88-FLAG, respectively. Both vectors have a gene VIII display cassette (in addition to their normal phage gene VIII) and display the cloned peptide on a few percent of the virion's 3000-4000 pVIII (major coat protein) subunits. Vector f88-4 has a replication defect and attains low DNA copy number in infected cells, while vector fd88-4 has no replication defect and attains the normal, high DNA copy number characteristic of wild-type filamentous phage. Almost no loss of displayed peptide was observed during six rounds of propagation of low copy number f88-FLAG phage. In contrast, when high copy number fd88-FLAG phage was similarly propagated, variant clones that did not display the FLAG epitope accumulated gradually. The loss of displayed peptide from the high copy number vector is undoubtedly slow enough to be overcome by even weak affinity selection, and high copy number vectors have important advantages that make their use worth considering, at least when the displayed peptides are small. 相似文献

Expressing proteins of interest as fusions to proteins of the bacterial envelope is a powerful technique with many biotechnological
and medical applications. Autotransporters have recently emerged as a good tool for bacterial surface display. These proteins
are composed of an N-terminal signal peptide, followed by a passenger domain and a translocator domain that mediates the outer
membrane translocation of the passenger. The natural passenger domain of autotransporters can be replaced by heterologous
proteins that become displayed at the bacterial surface by the translocator domain. The simplicity and versatility of this
system has made it very attractive and it has been used to display functional enzymes, vaccine antigens as well as polypeptides
libraries. The recent advances in the study of the translocation mechanism of autotransporters have raised several controversial
issues with implications for their use as display systems. These issues include the requirement for the displayed polypeptides
to remain in a translocation-competent state in the periplasm, the requirement for specific signal sequences and "autochaperone"
domains, and the influence of the genetic background of the expression host strain. It is therefore important to better understand
the mechanism of translocation of autotransporters in order to employ them to their full potential. This review will focus
on the recent advances in the study of the translocation mechanism of autotransporters and describe practical considerations
regarding their use for bacterial surface display. 相似文献

Centrally acting plant opiates, such as morphine, are the most frequently used analgesics for the relief of severe pain, even though their undesired side effects are serious limitation to their usefulness. The search for new therapeutics that could replace morphine has been mainly focused on the development of peptide analogs or peptidomimetics with high selectivity for one receptor type and high bioavailability, that is good blood-brain barrier permeability and enzymatic stability. Drugs, in order to be effective, must be able to reach the target tissue and to remain metabolically stable to produce the desired effects. The study of naturally occurring peptides provides a rational and powerful approach in the design of peptide therapeutics. Endogenous opioid peptides, endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2, are two potent and highly selective mu-opioid receptor agonists, discovered only a decade ago, which display potent analgesic activity. However, extensive studies on the possible use of endomorphins as analgesics instead of morphine met with failure due to their instability. This review deals with the recent investigations that allowed determine degradation pathways of endomorphins in vitro and in vivo and propose modifications that will lead to more stable analogs. 相似文献

Although insects lack the basic entities of the vertebrate immune system, such as lymphocytes and immunoglobulins, they have developed alternative defence mechanisms against infections. Different types of peptide factors, exhibiting bactericidal activity, have been detected in some insect species. These humoral factors are induced upon infection. The present report describes the discovery of the apidaecins, isolated from lymph fluid of the honeybee (Apis mellifera). The apidaecins represent a new family of inducible peptide antibiotics with the following basic structure: GNNRP(V/I)YIPQPRPPHPR(L/I). These heat-stable, non-helical peptides are active against a wide range of plant-associated bacteria and some human pathogens, through a bacteriostatic rather than a lytic process. Chemically synthesized apidaecins display the same bactericidal activity as their natural counterparts. While only active antibacterial peptides are detectable in adult honeybee lymph, bee larvae contain considerable amounts of inactive precursor molecules. 相似文献

Selection of novel ligands from phage display libraries: an alternative approach to drug and vaccine discovery? 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Phage display involves the production and screening of large numbers of random peptide sequences of a specific length expressed on the surface of phage particles. This approach provides a powerful tool to probe the molecular basis of many biological processes, including host-parasite interactions. Phage display libraries have been used to study the binding specificity of numerous peptides and protein domains. Practical applications include the identification of peptide sequences that bind with high affinity to antibodies, enzymes or receptors, and that may serve as diagnostics and vaccine or drug candidates. Here, David Jefferies outlines the concept of phage display and summarizes recent developments in the field, with emphasis on those that may be of interest to parasitologists. 相似文献

Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)4E is over-expressed in many types of cancer such as breast, head and neck, and lung. A consequence of increased levels of eIF4E is the preferential translation of pro-tumorigenic proteins (e.g. c-Myc and vascular endothelial growth factor) and as a result is regarded as a potential therapeutic target. In this work a novel phage display peptide has been isolated against eIF4E. From the phage sequence two amino acids were delineated which improved binding when substituted into the eIF4G1 sequence. Neither of these substitutions were involved in direct interactions with eIF4E and acted either via optimization of the helical capping motif or restricting the conformational flexibility of the peptide. In contrast, substitutions of the remaining phage derived amino acids into the eIF4G1 sequence disrupted binding of the peptide to eIF4E. Interestingly when some of these disruptive substitutions were combined with key mutations from the phage peptide, they lead to improved affinities. Atomistic computer simulations revealed that the phage and the eIF4G1 derivative peptide sequences differ subtly in their interaction sites on eIF4E. This raises the issue, especially in the context of planar interaction sites such as those exhibited by eIF4E, that given the intricate plasticity of protein surfaces, the construction of structure-activity relationships should account for the possibility of significant movement in the spatial positioning of the peptide binding interface, including significant librational motions of the peptide. 相似文献

The vasculature of each organ expresses distinct molecular signatures critically influenced by the pathological status. The heterogeneous profile of the vascular beds has been successfully unveiled by the in vivo phage display, a high-throughput tool for mapping normal, diseased, and tumor vasculature. Specific challenges of this growing field are targeted therapies against cancer and cardiovascular diseases, as well as novel bioimaging diagnostic tools. Tumor vasculature-homing peptides have been extensively evaluated in several preclinical and clinical studies both as targeted-therapy and diagnosis. To date, results from several Phase I and II trials have been reported and many other trials are currently ongoing or recruiting patients. In this review, advances in the identification of novel peptide ligands and their corresponding receptors on tumor endothelium through the in vivo phage display technology are discussed. Emphasis is given to recent findings in the clinical setting of vascular-homing peptides selected by in vivo phage display for the treatment of advanced malignancies and their altered vascular beds. 相似文献
