Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) shows potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, but the therapeutic application of BDNF has been greatly limited because it is too large in molecular size to permeate blood-brain barrier. To develop low-molecular-weight BDNF-like peptides, we selected a phage-displayed random peptide library using trkB expressed on NIH 3T3 cells as target in the study. With the strategy of peptide library incubation with NIH 3T3 cells and competitive elution with 1 μg/mL of BDNF in the last round of selection, the specific phages able to bind to the natural conformation of trkB and antagonize BDNF binding to trkB were enriched effectively. Five trkB-binding peptides were obtained, in which a core sequence of CRA/TXΦXXΦXXC (X represents the random amino acids, Φ represents T, L or I) was identified. The BDNF-like activity of these five peptides displayed on phages was not observed, though all of them antagonized the activity of BDNF in a dose-dependent manner. Similar results were obtained with the synthetic peptide of C1 clone, indicating that the 5 phage-derived peptides were trkB antagonists. These low-molecular-weight antagonists of trkB may be of potential application in the treatment of neuroblastoma and chronic pain. Meanwhile, the obtained core sequence also could be used as the base to construct the secondary phage-displayed peptide library for further development of small peptides mimicking BDNF activity. 相似文献

We investigated whether the T7 system of phage display could produce peptide libraries of greater diversity than the M13 system of phage display due to the differing processes of lytic and filamentous phage morphogenesis. Using a bioinformatics-assisted computational approach, collections of random peptide sequences obtained from a T7 12-mer library (X(12)) and a T7 7-mer disulfide-constrained library (CX(7)C) were analyzed and compared with peptide populations obtained from New England BioLabs' M13 Ph.D.-12 and Ph.D.-C7C libraries. Based on this analysis, peptide libraries constructed with the T7 system have fewer amino acid biases, increased peptide diversity, and more normal distributions of peptide net charge and hydropathy than the M13 libraries. The greater diversity of T7-displayed libraries provides a potential resource of novel binding peptides for new as well as previously studied molecular targets. To demonstrate their utility, several of the T7-displayed peptide libraries were screened for streptavidin- and neutravidin-binding phage. Novel binding motifs were identified for each protein. 相似文献

The dual-vector system-II (DVS-II), which allows efficient display of Fab antibodies on phage, has been reported previously,
but its practical applicability in a phage-displayed antibody library has not been verified. To resolve this issue, we created
two small combinatorial human Fab antibody libraries using the DVS-II, and isolation of target-specific antibodies was attempted.
Biopanning of one antibody library, termed DVFAB-1L library, which has a 1.3 × 107 combinatorial antibody complexity, against fluorescein-BSA resulted in successful isolation of human Fab clones specific
for the antigen despite the presence of only a single light chain in the library. By using the unique feature of the DVS-II,
an antibody library of a larger size, named DVFAB-131L, which has a 1.5 × 109 combinatorial antibody complexity, was also generated in a rapid manner by combining 1.3 × 107 heavy chains and 131 light chains and more diverse anti-fluorescein-BSA Fab antibody clones were successfully obtained. Our
results demonstrate that the DVS-II can be applied readily in creating phage-displayed antibody libraries with much less effort,
and target-specific antibody clones can be isolated reliably via light chain promiscuity of antibody molecule 相似文献

Screening of bioactive peptides from random peptide libraries using monoclonal antibodies as ligates is an effective method to define epitopes of protein antigens. However, it is thought that polyclonal antibodies might also serve as promising ligates for screening. We illustrate this approach by using recombinant human lymphotoxin (rhLT) polyclonal antibody as a model. The procedure consists in (a) affinity purification of polyclonal antibody to obtain the monospecific antibody, (b) screening against a phage-displayed random peptide library using the affinity-purified antibody, (c) plating the enriched phage on agar plates, randomly picking clones, and selecting the positive ones by dot blotting, (d) DNA sequencing of the positive clones and conducting a homology search against the protein sequence databank, and (e) confirming the epitopes by chemical peptide synthesis. By employing this procedure, we identified a dominant epitope RQHPKM, located at residues 15–20 of the human lymphotoxin amino acid sequence. The usefulness of this general procedure is discussed. 相似文献

Microbial transglutaminase (TGase) from Streptomyces mobaraensis (MTG) has been used in many industrial applications because it effectively catalyzes the formation of covalent cross-linking between glutamine residues in various substrate proteins and lysine residues or primary amines. To better understand the sequence preference around the reactive glutamine residue by this enzymatic reaction, we screened preferred peptide sequences using a phage-displayed random peptide library. Most of the peptides identified contained a consensus sequence, which was different from those previously found for mammalian TGases. Of these, most sequences had a specific reactivity toward MTG when produced as a fusion protein with glutathione-S-transferase. Furthermore, the representative sequence was found to be reactive even in the peptide form. The amino acid residues in the sequence critical for the reactivity were further analyzed, and the possible interaction with the enzyme has been discussed in this paper. 相似文献

A phage-displayed library of peptides (12-mer) was screened for the ability to bind to thermally aggregated bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA), with a view toward examining whether peptides possessing this ability might bind to partially structured intermediates on the protein's unfolding pathway and, therefore, constitute useful tools for manipulation of the kinetic partitioning of molecules between the unfolded and aggregated states. Two peptides [N-HPSTMGLRTMHP-C and N-TPSAWKTALVKA-C] were identified and tested. While neither showed thermal aggregation autonomously, both peptides individually elicited remarkable increases in the levels of thermal aggregation of BCA. A possible explanation is that both peptides bind to surfaces on molten BCA that are not directly involved in aggregation. Such binding could slow down interconversions between folded and unfolded states and stabilize aggregation-prone intermediate(s) to make them more prone to aggregation, while failing to achieve any steric prevention of aggregation. The approach has the potential of yielding useful aggregation-aiding/inhibiting agents, and may provide clues to whether amorphous aggregates are "immobilized" forms of folding intermediates. 相似文献

Summary Phages with high affinity to the S protein obtained from rice stripe virus (RSV) were enriched from phage-displayed random
12-mer peptide library after three rounds of biopanning. 9 different peptides from the enriched library were selected by ELISA.
Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the GST-S fusion protein with binding phages and non-binding phages showed that structure
of the S protein was changed after it bound to each of these 9 selected 12-mer peptides, which suggested that these peptides
might disrupt the function of S protein. Thus, those peptides might be used to develop plant resistance and disrupt virus
transmission. 3 of the 12-mer peptide genes were fused with the GST gene in pGEX 3X. The fusion proteins were also obtained
usingE. coli expression system and purified. 相似文献

Plants express numerous calmodulin (CaM) isoforms that exhibit differential activation or inhibition of CaM-dependent enzymes in vitro; however, their specificities toward target enzyme/protein binding are uncertain. A random peptide library displaying a 22-mer peptide on a bacteriophage surface was constructed to screen peptides that specifically bind to plant CaM isoforms (soybean calmodulin (ScaM)-1 and SCaM-4 were used in this study) in a Ca2+-dependent manner. The deduced amino acid sequence analyses of the respective 80 phage clones that were independently isolated via affinity panning revealed that SCaM isoforms require distinct amino acid sequences for optimal binding. SCaM-1-binding peptides conform to a 1-5-10 ((FILVW)XXX(FILV) XXXX(FILVW)) motif (where X denotes any amino acid), whereas SCaM-4-binding peptide sequences conform to a 1-8-14 ((FILVW)XXXXXX(FAILVW)XXXXX(FILVW)) motif. These motifs are classified based on the positions of conserved hydrophobic residues. To examine their binding properties further, two representative peptides from each of the SCaM isoform-binding sequences were synthesized and analyzed via gel mobility shift assays, Trp fluorescent spectra analyses, and phosphodiesterase competitive inhibition experiments. The results of these studies suggest that SCaM isoforms possess different binding sequences for optimal target interaction, which therefore may provide a molecular basis for CaM isoform-specific function in plants. Furthermore, the isolated peptide sequences may serve not only as useful CaM-binding sequence references but also as potential reagents for studying CaM isoform-specific function in vivo. 相似文献

High-throughput generation of synthetic antibodies from highly functional minimalist phage-displayed libraries 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Fellouse FA Esaki K Birtalan S Raptis D Cancasci VJ Koide A Jhurani P Vasser M Wiesmann C Kossiakoff AA Koide S Sidhu SS 《Journal of molecular biology》2007,373(4):924-940
We have previously established a minimalist approach to antibody engineering by using a phage-displayed framework to support complementarity determining region (CDR) diversity restricted to a binary code of tyrosine and serine. Here, we systematically augmented the original binary library with additional levels of diversity and examined the effects. The diversity of the simplest library, in which only heavy chain CDR positions were randomized by the binary code, was expanded in a stepwise manner by adding diversity to the light chain, by diversifying non-paratope residues that may influence CDR conformations, and by adding additional chemical diversity to CDR-H3. The additional diversity incrementally improved the affinities of antibodies raised against human vascular endoethelial growth factor and the structure of an antibody-antigen complex showed that tyrosine side-chains are sufficient to mediate most of the interactions with antigen, but a glycine residue in CDR-H3 was critical for providing a conformation suitable for high-affinity binding. Using new high-throughput procedures and the most complex library, we produced multiple high-affinity antibodies with dissociation constants in the single-digit nanomolar range against a wide variety of protein antigens. Thus, this fully synthetic, minimalist library has essentially recapitulated the capacity of the natural immune system to generate high-affinity antibodies. Libraries of this type should be highly useful for proteomic applications, as they minimize inherent complexities of natural antibodies that have hindered the establishment of high-throughput procedures. Furthermore, analysis of a large number of antibodies derived from these well-defined and simplistic libraries allowed us to uncover statistically significant trends in CDR sequences, which provide valuable insights into antibody library design and into factors governing protein-protein interactions. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins such as gp96 are immunogenic and are widely used as vaccines in immunotherapy of cancers. The present
study focuses on the use of peptide mimotopes as immunotherapeutic vaccines for prostate cancer. To this end, we developed
a 15-mer gp96 peptide mimotope specifically reactive to MAT-LyLu gp96–peptide complex using combinatorial single-chain antibody
and peptide phage display library. The immunogenicity of the synthesized gp96 mimotope was analyzed initially in normal BALB/c
mice in combination with various adjuvants such as complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA), aluminum salts (ALUM), granulocyte-macrophage
colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and liposome, of which CFA served as a positive control. The antibody response was determined
and found that the gp96 mimotope with ALUM showed a significant increase in antibody titer, followed by GM-CSF and liposomes.
Further, the T cell (CD4+ and CD8+) populations from splenocytes, as well as IgG isotypes, interleukin-4, and interleukin-5 of gp96 mimotope with ALUM-immunized
animals, were analyzed. The results suggest that the gp96 mimotope may elicit a potent and effective antitumor antibody response.
Further, the study identifies ALUM and GM-CSF as adjuvant options to drive an appropriate protective immune response as these
adjuvants have prior use in humans. 相似文献

A polyvalent, lytic phage display system (T7Select415-1b) displaying a random peptide library has been investigated for its ability to discover novel mimotopes reactive with the therapeutic monoclonal antibody C595. Sequence analysis of enriched phage lead to the identification of a predominant sequence RNREAPRGKICS, and two other consensus sequences RXXP and RXP. The novel synthetic peptide RNREAPRGKICS was linked to beaded agarose and the performance as a mimotope affinity chromatography matrix evaluated. Antibody purified using the novel matrix was found to be of higher specific reactivity than antibody purified using the conventional epitope matrix (peptide APDTRPAPG). The RNREAPRGKICS peptide binding to C595 demonstrated a higher equilibrium association constant (K(A)=0.75 x 10(6)) than the epitope peptide (K(A)=0.16 x 10(6)). Circular dichroism showed that the novel peptide had a more highly ordered structure at 4 degrees C and room temperature, than the epitope peptide. 相似文献

Conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) to the pathogenic isoform (PrP(Sc)) is a major biochemical alteration in the progression of prion disease. This conversion process is thought to require interaction between PrP(C) and an as yet unidentified auxiliary factor, provisionally designated protein X. In searching for protein X, we screened a phage display cDNA expression library constructed from prion-infected neuroblastoma (ScN2a) cells and identified a kringle protein domain using full-length recombinant mouse PrP (recMoPrP(23-231), hereafter recMoPrP) expressing a dominant-negative mutation at codon 218 (recMoPrP(Q218K)). In vitro binding analysis using ELISA verified specific interaction of recMoPrP to kringle domains (K(1+2+3)) with higher binding by recMoPrP(Q218K) than by full-length recMoPrP without the mutation. This interaction was confirmed by competitive binding analysis, in which the addition of either a specific anti-kringle antibody or L-lysine abolished the interaction. Biochemical studies of the interactions between K(1+2+3) and various concentrations of both recMoPrP molecules demonstrated binding in a dose-dependent manner. A Hill plot analysis of the data indicates positive cooperative binding of both recMoPrP(Q218K) and recMoPrP to K(1+2+3) with stronger binding by recMoPrP(Q218K). Using full-length and an N-terminally truncated MoPrP(89-231), we demonstrate that N-terminal sequences enable PrP to bind strongly to K(1+2+3). Further characterization with truncated MoPrP(89-231) refolded in different conformations revealed that both alpha-helical and beta-sheet conformations bind to K(1+2+3). Our data demonstrate specific, high-affinity binding of a dominant-negative PrP as well as binding of other PrPs to K(1+2+3). The relevance of such interactions during prion pathogenesis remains to be established. 相似文献

Substrate specificity of human collagenase 3 assessed using a phage-displayed peptide library 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The substrate specificity of human collagenase 3 (MMP-13), a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, is investigated using a phage-displayed random hexapeptide library containing 2 x 10(8) independent recombinants. A total of 35 phage clones that express a peptide sequence that can be hydrolyzed by the recombinant catalytic domain of human collagenase 3 are identified. The translated DNA sequence of these clones reveals highly conserved putative P1, P2, P3 and P1', P2', and P3' subsites of the peptide substrates. Kinetic analysis of synthetic peptide substrates made from human collagenase 3 selected phage clones reveals that some of the substrates are highly active and selective. The most active substrate, 2, 4-dinitrophenyl-GPLGMRGL-NH(2) (CP), has a k(cat)/K(m) value of 4.22 x 10(6) m(-)(1) s(-)(1) for hydrolysis by collagenase 3. CP was synthesized as a consensus sequence deduced from the preferred subsites of the aligned 35 phage clones. Peptide substrate CP is 1300-, 11-, and 820-fold selective for human collagenase 3 over the MMPs stromelysin-1, gelatinase B, and collagenase 1, respectively. In addition, cleavage of CP is 37-fold faster than peptide NF derived from the major MMP-processing site in aggrecan. Phage display screening also selected five substrate sequences that share sequence homology with a major MMP cleavage sequence in aggrecan and seven substrate sequences that share sequence homology with the primary collagenase cleavage site of human type II collagen. In addition, putative cleavage sites similar to the consensus sequence are found in human type IV collagen. These findings support previous observations that human collagenase 3 can degrade aggrecan, type II and type IV collagens. 相似文献

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common types of cancer in men in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer related death in men. Clinically, secreted prostate specific antigen (PSA) has gained recognition because of its proteolytic activity being directly linked to PCa cell proliferation leading to disease initiation and progression. Using phage display technology, we identified four distinct cyclical peptides. These peptides apart from differences in their amino acid sequence, elicited minimal cross reactive antibody responses against each other. One of the four peptides analyzed produced an antibody response that recognizes the PSA protein. We demonstrate that the synthetic PSA peptide mimics identified in our study are immunologically active and produce neutralizing activity and this has relevance and utility for prostate cancer disease progression. 相似文献

Pathologies such as liver fibrosis and scleroderma are characterized by harmful levels of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFbeta1). These levels could be neutralized if inhibitors of this cytokine were available. With this aim we searched for peptides with binding affinity for TGFbeta1 using a phage-displayed random 15-mer peptide library. Some peptides thus identified blocked activity of TGFbeta1 in vitro, as measured by their capacity to restore growth of Mv-1-Lu cells in presence of added TGFbeta1. Also, they inhibited TGFbeta1-dependent expression of collagen type I mRNA in liver of mice orally insulted with CCl(4). Intraperitoneal administration of 50 microg of peptide P17 (the most active 15-mer peptide, also referred to as P17(1-15)) inhibited expression of collagen type I mRNA by almost 100%. Interestingly, titration experiments showed that P17(1-12) (a peptide encompassing the first 12 amino acids of P17) was approximately four times more active than P17. These results suggest that both peptides, as well as others reported here, may be of therapeutic interest in processes requiring control of undesired high levels of TGFbeta1. 相似文献

A method has been developed to select proteins that are thermodynamically destabilized yet still folded and functional. The DNA encoding the B1 IgG-binding domain from Group G Streptococcus (Strp G) has been fused to gene III of bacteriophage M13. The resulting fusion protein is displayed on the surface of the phage thus enabling the phage to bind to IgG molecules. In addition, these phage exhibit a small plaque phenotype that is reversed by mutations that destabilize the Strp G domain. By selecting phage with large plaque morphology that retain their IgG-binding function, it is possible to identify mutants that are folded but destabilized compared with wild-type Strp G. Such mutants can be divided into three general categories: (1) those that disrupt packing of hydrophobic side chains in the protein interior; (2) those that destabilize secondary structure; and (3) those that alter specific hydrogen bonds involving amino acid side chains. A number of the mutants have been physically characterized by circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance and have been shown to have structures similar to wild-type Strp G but stabilities that were decreased by 2–5 kcal/mol. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Expanding on the possible protein interaction partners in a biochemical pathway is one key molecular goal in the post-genomic era. Phage peptide display is a versatile in vitro tool for mapping novel protein-protein interfaces and the advantage of this technique in expanding protein interaction maps is that in vitro manipulation of the bait protein conformational integrity can be controlled carefully. Phage peptide display was used to expand on the possible types of binding proteins for the conformationally responsive protein MDM2. Peptides enriched differ depending upon whether MDM2 is ligand-free, zinc-bound, or RNA-bound, suggesting that MDM2 conformational changes alter the type of peptide ligands enriched. Classes of putative/established MDM2-binding proteins identified by this technique included ubiquitin-modifying enzymes (F-box proteins, UB-ligases, UBC-E1) and apoptotic modifiers (HSP90, GAS1, APAF1, p53). Of the many putative MDM2 proteins that could be examined, the impact of HSP90 on MDM2 activity was studied, since HSP90 has been linked with p53 protein unfolding in human cancers. Zinc ions were required to reconstitute a stable MDM2-HSP90 protein complex. Zinc binding converted MDM2 from a monomer to an oligomer, and activated MDM2 binding to its internal RING finger domain, providing evidence for a conformational change in MDM2 protein when it binds zinc. Reconstitution of an HSP90-MDM2 protein complex in vitro stimulated the unfolding of the p53 tetramer. A p53 DNA-binding inhibitor purified from human cells that is capable of unfolding p53 at ambient temperature in vitro contains co-purifying pools of HSP90 and MDM2. These data highlight the utility of phage peptide display as a powerful in vitro method to identify regulatory proteins that bind to a conformationally flexible protein like MDM2. 相似文献

Although peptide-based molecules are known to have therapeutic potential, the generation of phage focused libraries to optimize peptides is effort-consuming. A chemical method is developed to extend a maleimide-conjugated peptide with a cysteine-containing random-peptide phage display library. As a proof of concept, a 15-mer epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-binding peptide was synthesized with a maleimide group at its C-terminus and then conjugated to the cysteine-containing library. After panning and screening, several extended peptides were discovered and tested to have a higher affinity to EGFR. This strategy can have broad utility to optimize pharmacophores of any modalities (peptides, unnatural peptides, drug conjugates) capable of bearing a maleimide group 相似文献
