Effects of amino acid sequence, buffers, and ionic strength on the rate and mechanism of deamidation of asparagine residues in small peptides 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The nonenzymatic rates of deamidation of Asn residues in a series of pentapeptides with the sequences VSNXV and VXNSV, where X is one of 10 different amino acids, were determined at neutral, alkaline, and acid pH values. The results demonstrate that in neutral and alkaline solutions the amino acid residue on the amino side of the Asn had little or no effect on the rate of deamidation regardless of its charge or size. The group on the carboxyl side of Asn affected the rate of deamidation significantly. Increasing size and branching in the side chain of this residue decreased the rate of deamidation by as much as 70-fold compared to glycine in the N-G sequence, which had the greatest rate of deamidation. In acidic solution, the rate of deamidation of the Asn residue was not affected by the amino acid sequence of the peptide. The products for each deamidation reaction were tested for the formation of isoAsp residues. In neutral and alkaline solutions, all products showed that the isoAsp:Asp peptide products were formed in about a 3:1 ratio. In acidic solution, the Asp peptide was the only deamidation product formed. All peptides in which a Ser residue follows the Asn residue were found to undergo a peptide cleavage reaction in neutral and alkaline solutions, yielding a tripeptide and a dipeptide. The rate of the cleavage reaction was about 10% of the rate of the deamidation pathway at neutral and alkaline pH values. The rates of deamidation of Asn residues in the peptides studied were not affected by ionic strength, and were not specific base catalyzed. General base catalysis was observed for small bases like ammonia. A model for the deamidation reaction is proposed to account for the observed effects. 相似文献

Under physiological conditions, the deamidation and isomerization of asparagine to isoaspartate (isoAsp) proceeds nonenzymatically via succinimide. Although a large number of proteins have been reported to contain isoAsp, information concerning the three‐dimensional structure of proteins containing isoaspartate is still limited. We have crystallized isoAsp containing Ustilago sphaerogena ribonuclease U2B, and determined the crystal structure at 1.32 Å resolution. The structure revealed that the formation of isoAsp32 induces a single turn unfolding of the α‐helix from Asp29 to Asp34, and the region from Asp29 to Arg35 forms a U‐shaped loop structure. The electron density map shows that isoAsp32 retained the L‐configuration at the Cα atom. IsoAsp32 is in gauche conformation about a Cα? Cβ bond, and the polypeptide chain bends by ~90° at isoAsp32. IsoAsp32 protrudes from the surface of the protein, and the abnormal β‐peptide bond in the main‐chain and α‐carboxylate in the side‐chain is fully exposed. The structure suggests that the deamidation of the Asn and the isoAsp formation in proteins could confer immunogenicity. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 93: 1003–1010, 2010. 相似文献

Susceptibility of tryptophan (Trp) in a complementarity-determining region (CDR) to oxidation is a significant issue for recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics due to the clinical efficacy and stability concerns. Here we present a case study using hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) to separate an oxidized Trp containing population of an IgG1. The best separation was achieved using dual Dionex ProPac HIC-10 columns, and the oxidized Trp population was isolated as a separated pre-peak. Peptide map analysis revealed that the oxidized Trp is located in a heavy chain CDR. In addition, the HIC method was capable of monitoring the oxidation status of the CDR Trp, as the oxidation rate of the CDR Trp measured by HIC directly correlated with the results of the peptide maps. The same method conditions were also capable of separating oxidized methionine (Met) and isomerization/deamidation products, which co-elute as another pre-peak at a different retention time from the oxidized Trp species. These observations indicate that the HIC procedure can be utilized to monitor the oxidative status of the CDR Trp in the IgG1. 相似文献

In view of the significance of Asn deamidation and Asp isomerization to isoAsp at certain sites for protein aging and turnover, it was desirable to challenge the extreme analytical power of electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) for the possibility of a site-specific detection of this posttranslational modification. For this purpose, synthetic L-Asp/L-isoAsp containing oligopeptide pairs were investigated by ESI-MS/MS and low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID). Replacement of L-Asp by L-isoAsp resulted in the same kind of shifts for all 15 peptide pairs investigated: (1) the b/y intensity ratio of complementary b and y ions generated by cleavage of the (L-Asp/L-isoAsp)-X bond and of the X-(L-Asp/L-isoAsp) bond was decreased, and (2) the Asp immonium ion abundance at m/z 88 was also decreased. It is proposed that the isoAsp structure hampers the accepted mechanism of b-ion formation on both its N- and C-terminal side. The b/y ion intensity ratio and the relative immonium ion intensity vary considerably, depending on the peptide sequence, but the corresponding values are reproducible when recorded on the same instrument under identical instrumental settings. Thus, once the reference product ion spectra have been documented for a pair of synthetic peptides containing either L-Asp or L-isoAsp, these identify one or the other form. Characterization and relative quantification of L-Asp/L-isoAsp peptide mixtures are also possible as demonstrated for two sequences for which isoAsp formation has been described, namely myrG-D/isoD-AAAAK (deamidated peptide 1-7 of protein kinase A catalytic subunit) and VQ-D/isoD-GLR (deamidated peptide 41-46 of human procollagen alpha 1). Thus, the analytical procedures described may be helpful for the identification of suspected Asn deamidation and Asp isomerization sites in proteolytic digests of proteins. 相似文献

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase purified from rabbit liver cytosol has at least two Asn residues (Asn(5) and Asn(220)) that are 67 and 30% deamidated, respectively. Asn(5) is deamidated equally to Asp and isoAsp, while Asn(220) is deamidated only to isoAsp. To determine the effect of these Asn deamidations on enzyme activity and stability a recombinant rabbit liver cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase was expressed in Escherichia coli over a 5-h period. About 90% of the recombinant enzyme could be isolated with the two Asn residues in a nondeamidated form. Compared with the enzyme isolated from liver the recombinant enzyme had a 35% increase in catalytic activity but exhibited no significant changes in either affinity for substrates or stability. Introduction of Asp residues for either Asn(5) or Asn(220) did not significantly alter activity or stability of the mutant forms. In vitro incubation of the recombinant enzyme at 37 degrees C and pH 7.3 resulted in the rapid deamidation of Asn(5) to both Asp and isoAsp with a t(1/2) of 50-70 h, which is comparable to the rate found with small flexible peptides containing the same sequence. The t(1/2) for deamidation of Asn(220) was at least 200 h. This residue may become deamidated only after some unfolding of the enzyme. The rates for deamidation of Asn(5) and Asn(220) are consistent with the structural environment of the two Asn residues in the native enzyme. There are also at least two additional deamidation events that occur during prolonged incubation of the recombinant enzyme. 相似文献

The enzyme S-adenosylmethionine:protein carboxyl-O-methyl-transferase, type II (EC 2.1.1.77; PCMT) from eukaryotes methyl esterifies peptides containing isoAsp residues, which can arise from spontaneous deamidation of labile Asn residues. We report here a study on in vitro methyl esterification of mouse EGF by bovine brain PCMT. This peptide contains two Asn in the sequences Asn1-Ser2 and Asn16-Gly17. It is known from the literature that the presence of a small residue on the carboxyl side of asparaginyl makes this residue susceptible to deamidation through the spontaneous formation of a succinimide intermediate. Therefore EGF was incubated under deamidating conditions (pH 9.0, 37 degrees for 48 h) and the extent of deamidation monitored by enzymatically measuring the NH3 produced during the alkali treatment: a release of 0.80 mol NH3/mol EGF was calculated. The alkali-treated EGF, analyzed by anion-exchange chromatography, shows two major components identified as native EGF (nEGF) and its deamidated form (dEGF). When incubated in the presence of purified PCMT neither nEGF nor dEGF showed any methyl accepting capability. Since it is known that the three-dimensional structure of a protein may hinder the methyl esterification of a potential ethyl accepting site, dEGF was unfolded by reducing and alkylating the intrachain disulfide bridges. Only a slight increase in the methyl accepting capability could be observed. Conversely, when EGF was deamidated after its unfolding, the resulting protein was stoichiometrically methylated by PCMT, presumably at level of isoAsp16. Our findings strongly suggest that the three-dimensional structure of a protein is a major specificity determinant for both deamidation and methyl esterification processes. 相似文献

Posttranslational modifications influence the structure, stability and biological activity of proteins. Most of the reactions are enzyme-catalyzed, but some, such as asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) deamidation and the isoaspartate (isoAsp) formation within peptide chains, occur spontaneously. It has been previously shown that certain peptide sequences form isoAsp quite fast if the Asp stretches are exposed to the protein surface, thereby potentially changing susceptibility to proteolysis at these sites. This tempted us to investigate the activity of exo- and endopeptidases against Asp- or isoAsp-containing substrates. Members of the prolyl oligopeptidase family were unable to cleave substrates after proline if isoAsp was placed in the P2-position. Caspases, usually accepting Asp at P1-position of their substrates, did not cleave isoAsp-containing sequences. Similarly, the metal-dependent aminopeptidase amino peptidase N did not turnover N-terminal isoAsp-containing substrates, nor could the endopeptidase matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP 3) hydrolyze a serum amyloid A protein-like substrate if the sequence contained isoAsp instead of Asp. Also, the highly specific enterokinase, usually clipping after a stretch of four Asp residues and a lysine in the P1 position, could not turnover substrates if the P2 amino acid was replaced by isoAsp. In contrast, acylamino acid-releasing enzyme and dipeptidyl peptidases 1, 2 and 4 hydrolyzed substrates containing the isoAsp-Ala motif. 相似文献

The unique cation exchange chromatography (CEX) charge variant profile of mAb1 is characterized by a combination of mass spectrometry, limited Lys-C digestion followed by CEX separation and structural analysis. During CEX method development, mAb1 showed several unexpected phenomena, including a unique profile containing two main species (acidic 2 and main) and significant instability during stability studies of the main species. Reduced Lys-C peptide mapping identified a small difference in one of the heavy chain peptides (H4) in acidic 2 and further mass analysis identified this difference as Asn55 deamidation. However, the amount of Asn55 deamidation in acidic 2 could account for only half of the species present in this peak. Lys-C limited digest followed by CEX separated several unique peaks in the acidic peak 2 including two pre Fab peaks (LCC1 and LCC2). Whole protein mass analysis suggested that both LCC1 and LCC2 were potentially deamidated species. Subsequent peptide mapping with MS/MS determined that LCC1 contained isoAsp55 and LCC2 contained Asp55. Combining LCC1 and LCC2 CEX peak areas could account for nearly all of the species present in acidic peak 2. Subsequent detailed sequence analysis combined with molecular modeling identified Asn55 and its surrounding residues are responsible for the different CEX behavior and instability of mAb1 following forced degradation at high pH. Overall, the combinatorial approach used in this study proved to be a powerful tool to understand the unique charge variant and stability profile of a monoclonal antibody. 相似文献

Protein L-isoaspartate O-methyltransferase (PIMT) is postulated to repair beta-aspartyl linkages (isoaspartyl (isoAsp)) that accumulate at certain Asp-Xaa and Asn-Xaa sites in association with protein aging and deamidation. To identify major targets of PIMT action we cultured rat PC12 cells with adenosine dialdehyde (AdOx), a methyltransferase inhibitor that promotes accumulation of isoAsp in vivo. Subcellular fractionation of AdOx-treated cells revealed marked accumulation of isoAsp in a 14-kDa nuclear protein. Gel electrophoresis and chromatography of nuclei (3)H-methylated in vitro by PIMT revealed this protein to be histone H2B. The isoAsp content of H2B in AdOx-treated cells was approximately 18 times that in control cells, although no isoAsp was seen in other core histones, regardless of treatment. To confirm the relevance and specificity of this effect, we measured isoAsp levels in histones from brains of PIMT knockout mice. IsoAsp was found at near stoichiometric levels in H2B extracted from knockout brains and was at least 80 times greater than that in H2B from normal mice. Little or no isoAsp was detected in H2A, H3, or H4 from mice of either genotype. Accumulation of isoAsp in histone H2B may disrupt normal gene regulation and contribute to the reduced life span that characterizes PIMT knockouts. In addition to disrupting protein function, isoAsp has been shown to trigger immunity against self-proteins. The propensity of H2B to generate isoAsp in vivo may help explain why this histone in particular is found as a major antigen in autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus. 相似文献

Conserved deamidation of PKA catalytic subunit isozymes Calpha and Cbeta--more than 25% at Asn2 in vivo in both cases--has been shown to yield Asp2- and isoAsp2-containing isozymes (Jedrzejewski PT, Girod A, Tholey A, König N, Thullner S, Kinzel V, Bossemeyer D, 1998, Protein Sci 7:457-469). Isoaspartate formation in proteins in vivo is indicative of succinimide intermediates involved in both the initial deamidation reaction as well as the "repair" of isoAsp to Asp by the action of protein L-isoaspartyl (D-aspartyl) O-methyl transferase (PIMT). L-Succinimide is prone to racemization to D-succinimide, which may hydrolyze to D-isoAsp- and D-Asp-containing diastereomers with, respectively, no and poor substrate character for PIMT. To analyze native PKA catalytic subunit from cardiac muscle for these isomers the N-terminal tryptic peptides (T1) of the enzyme were analyzed following procedures refined specifically with a set of corresponding synthetic peptides. The methods combined high resolution high-performance liquid chromatography and a new mass spectrometric procedure for the discrimination between Asp- and isoAsp-residues in peptides (Lehmann et al., 2000). The results demonstrate the occurrence of D-isoAsp- and D-Asp-containing T1 fragments in addition to the L-isomers. The small amount of the L-isoAsp isomer, representing only part of the D-isoAsp isomer, and the relatively large amounts of the L-Asp and D-Asp isomers argues for an effective action of PIMT present in cardiac tissue. 相似文献

Mimetics of beta-turn structures in proteins have been used to calibrate the relative reactivities toward deamidation of asparagine residues in the two central positions of a beta-turn and in a random coil. N-Acetyl-Asn-Gly-6-aminocaproic acid, an acyclic analog of a beta-turn mimic undergoes deamidation of the asparaginyl residue through a succinimide intermediate to generate N-acetyl-Asp-N-Gly-6-aminocaproic acid (6-aminocaproic acid, hereafter Aca) and N-acetyl-L-iso-aspartyl (isoAsp)-Gly-Aca (pH 8.8, 37 degrees C) approximately 3-fold faster than does the cyclic beta-turn mimic cyclo-[L-Asn-Gly-Aca] with asparagine at position 2 of the beta-turn. The latter compound, in turn, undergoes deamidation approximately 30-fold faster than its positional isomer cyclo-[Gly-Asn-Aca] with asparagine at position 3 of the beta-turn. Both cyclic peptides assume predominantly beta-turn structures in solution, as demonstrated by NMR and circular dichroism characterization. The open-chain compound and its isomer N-acetyl-Gly-Asn-Aca assume predominantly random coil structures. The latter isomer undergoes deamidation 2-fold slower than the former. Thus the order of reactivity toward deamidation is: asparagine in a random coil approximately 3x(asparagine) in position 2 of a beta-turn approximately 30x (asparagine) in position 3 of a beta-turn. 相似文献

Amyloid Abeta1-42 peptide (Abeta1-42) and its isomers with an isoaspartyl residue at position 7 or 23 [Abeta1-42(isoAsp7) and Abeta1-42(isoAsp23)] were synthesized in high purity by the Fmoc-solid phase technique, followed by HPLC on a silica-based reversed-phase column under the basic conditions. Importantly, Abeta1-42(isoAsp23) aggregated more strongly than native Abeta1-42 and showed significant neurotoxicity, while the aggregation ability and neurotoxicity of Abeta1-42(isoAsp7) was weak. This suggests that the isomerization of the aspartyl residues plays an important role in fibril formation in Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

The V region sequences of two anti-DNA (A52, D42) and two anti-RNA (D44, D444) autoantibodies, derived from lupus prone NZB/NZW F1 female mice, were determined by mRNA sequencing. The sequences had the following features: 1) there was no clear sequence relationship between anti-DNA and anti-RNA antibodies; 2) there were no major similarities between any of the L chain sequences and each VL gene segment belonged to a different mouse VK subgroup; 3) the H chains of the two anti-RNA antibodies showed closely related sequences of VH gene segments and very similar third complementarity determining regions (CDR3); 4) the H chains of the two anti-DNA antibodies had VH segments belonging to different VH gene families but had a unique and similar combination of D segments and junctional sequences, suggesting a common recognition element for Ag and/or for idiotypic regulation in the H chain CDR3; and 5) the VH gene segment of one anti-DNA antibody (D42) was found to be very similar to the VH gene segment of a CBA mouse hybridoma antibody (6G6) which binds to the environmental Ag phosphocholine. The three-dimensional structure of the Fv-region of the anti-DNA antibody (D42) was modeled by computer and a stretch of poly(dT), ssDNA was docked to a cleft in the antibody combining site, formed by the three H chain CDR and by CDR1 and CDR3 of the L chain. The cleft is characterized by a preponderance of arginine and tyrosine residues, lining both the walls and base of the cleft. 相似文献

Two dimensional electrophoresis has revealed a microheterogeneity in the recombinant human phenylalanine hydroxylase (hPAH) protomer, that is the result of spontaneous nonenzymatic deamidations of labile asparagine (Asn) residues [Solstad, T. and Flatmark, T. (2000) Eur. J. Biochem.267, 6302-6310]. Using of a computer algorithm, the relative deamidation rates of all Asn residues in hPAH have been predicted, and we here verify that Asn32, followed by a glycine residue, as well as Asn28 and Asn30 in a loop region of the N-terminal autoregulatory sequence (residues 19-33) of wt-hPAH, are among the susceptible residues. First, on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of the 24 h expressed enzyme, the E. coli 28-residue peptide, L15-K42 (containing three Asn residues), was recovered with four monoisotopic mass numbers (i.e., m/z of 3106.455, 3107.470, 3108.474 and 3109.476, of decreasing intensity) that differed by 1 Da. Secondly, by reverse-phase chromatography, isoaspartyl (isoAsp) was demonstrated in this 28-residue peptide by its methylation by protein-l-isoaspartic acid O-methyltransferase (PIMT; EC 2.1.1.77). Thirdly, on incubation at pH 7.0 and 37 degrees C of the phosphorylated form (at Ser16) of this 28-residue peptide, a time-dependent mobility shift from tR approximately 34 min to approximately 31 min (i.e., to a more hydrophilic position) was observed on reverse-phase chromatography, and the recovery of the tR approximately 34 min species decreased with a biphasic time-course with t0.5-values of 1.9 and 6.2 days. The fastest rate is compatible with the rate determined for the sequence-controlled deamidation of Asn32 (in a pentapeptide without 3D structural interference), i.e., a deamidation half-time of approximately 1.5 days in 150 mm Tris/HCl, pH 7.0 at 37 degrees C. Asn32 is located in a cluster of three Asn residues (Asn28, Asn30 and Asn32) of a loop structure stabilized by a hydrogen-bond network. Deamidation of Asn32 introduces a negative charge and a partial beta-isomerization (isoAsp), which is predicted to result in a change in the backbone conformation of the loop structure and a repositioning of the autoregulatory sequence and thus affect its regulatory properties. The functional implications of this deamidation was further studied by site-directed mutagenesis, and the mutant form (Asn32-->Asp) revealed a 1.7-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency, an increased affinity and positive cooperativity of L-Phe binding as well as substrate inhibition. 相似文献

Seven forms of a therapeutic recombinant antibody that binds to the her2/neu gene product were resolved by cation-exchange chromatography. Structural differences were assigned by peptide mapping and HIC after papain digestion. Deamidation of light chain asparagine 30 to aspartate in one or both light chains is responsible for two acidic forms. A low potency form is due to isomerization of heavy chain aspartate 102; the Asp102 succinimide is also present in a basic peak fraction. Forms with both Asn30 deamidation and Asp102 isomerization modifications were isolated. Deamidation of heavy chain Asn55 to isoaspartate was also detected. Isoelectric focusing in a polyacrylamide gel was used to verify the assignments. All modifications were found in complementarity determining regions. 相似文献

The folding of ribonuclease A (RNase A) has been extensively studied by characterizing the disulfide containing intermediates using different experimental conditions and analytical techniques. So far, some aspects still remain unclear such as the role of the loop 65-72 in the folding pathway. We have studied the oxidative folding of a RNase A derivative containing at position 67 the substitution Asn --> isoAsp where the local structure of the loop 65-72 has been modified keeping intact the C65-C72 disulfide bond. By comparing the folding behavior of this mutant to that of the wild-type protein, we found that the deamidation significantly decreases the folding rate and alters the folding pathway of RNase A. Results presented here shed light on the role of the 65-72 region in the folding process of RNase A and also clarifies the effect of the deamidation on the folding/unfolding processes. On a more general ground, this study represents the first characterization of the intermediates produced along the folding of a deamidated protein. 相似文献

The recognition molecule L1 plays important functional roles in the nervous system and in non-neural tissues. Since antibodies to L1 are of prime importance to study its functional properties, we have generated affinity matured human single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies against mouse L1 by introducing random mutations in the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of a previously isolated scFv antibody heavy chain (CDR1 and CDR2) and light chain (CDR3). After biopanning the mutant library, a clone (5F7) that gave the strongest ELISA signal was expressed, purified, and characterized. The dissociation constant of 5F7 (2.86 x 10(-8)M) was decreased 60-fold compared to the wild type clone G6 (1.72 x 10(-6)M). 5F7 detected L1 by Western blot analysis in mouse brain homogenates and recognized L1 in L1 transfected cells and cryosections from mouse retina and optic nerve by immunofluorescence. Bivalent 5F7 scFv antibody (5F7-Cys) was also generated and showed a dissociation constant of 5.22 x 10(-9)M that is 5.5-fold lower than that of monomeric 5F7 antibody. The bivalent affinity matured L1 scFv antibody thus showed stronger binding by a factor of 310 compared to the wild type clone. This antibody should be useful in various biological assays. 相似文献

Advancements in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) of antibody repertoires (Ig-Seq) have unprecedentedly improved our ability to characterize the antibody repertoires on a large scale. However, currently, only a few studies explored the influence of chronic HIV-1 infection on human antibody repertoires and many of them reached contradictory conclusions, possibly limited by inadequate sequencing depth and throughput. To better understand how HIV-1 infection would impact humoral immune system, in this study, we systematically analyzed the differences between the IgM (HIV-IgM) and IgG (HIV-IgG) heavy chain repertoires of HIV-1 infected patients, as well as between antibody repertoires of HIV-1 patients and healthy donors (HH). Notably, the public unique clones accounted for only a negligible proportion between the HIV-IgM and HIV-IgG repertoires libraries, and the diversity of unique clones in HIV-IgG remarkably reduced. In aspect of somatic mutation rates of CDR1 and CDR2, the HIV-IgG repertoire was higher than HIV-IgM. Besides, the average length of CDR3 region in HIV-IgM was significant longer than that in the HH repertoire, presumably caused by the great number of novel VDJ rearrangement patterns, especially a massive use of IGHJ6. Moreover, some of the B cell clonotypes had numerous clones, and somatic variants were detected within the clonotype lineage in HIV-IgG, indicating HIV-1 neutralizing activities. The in-depth characterization of HIV-IgG and HIV-IgM repertoires enriches our knowledge in the profound effect of HIV-1 infection on human antibody repertoires and may have practical value for the discovery of therapeutic antibodies. 相似文献

Polypeptides that contain the sequence Asn-Pro undergo complete cleavage at this amide bond with ammonia. One cleavage product possesses Pro as the new amino terminus and the other Asn or isoAsn as the new C-terminus, the formation of the latter probably arising by way of a cyclic succinimide intermediate. Other Asn-X bonds where X = Tyr, Gln, Ile, Glu, Ala, Gly, Asn or Phe did not exhibit any peptide bond cleavage, whereas when X = Leu, Thr and Ser partial cleavage was observed. Asn residues not involved in chain-cleavage underwent deamidation to Asp as shown by MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. The partial conversion of in-chain Asp residues to isoAsp under the reaction conditions was inferred from RP-HPLC and MS analysis of reaction mixtures. 相似文献
