DDSDEEN chromatin peptide, after dansylation, was studied for its ability to bind N-CAM protein. The binding causes a quenching of the Dns-peptide fluorescence emission. Dose- and time-dependent binding of Dns-peptide with N-CAM has been shown. Fluorescence quenching is completely lost if the Dns-peptide is subjected to carboxypeptidase digestion. Moreover the undansylated peptide pEDDSDEEN competes with the DnsDDSDEEN peptide for the binding with the N-CAM protein. The Dns-peptide-N-CAM bond has been related to the peptide biological activity probably involved in the promotion of neuronal differentiation. An attempt to recognize a possible N-CAM binding site for Dns-peptide was performed by alignment of N-CAM from various sources with some sequences that have been previously reported as binding sites for the pEDDSDEEN and DDSDEEN peptides. Interestingly, the alignment of N-CAM from various sources with the peptides WHPREGWAL and WFPRWAGQA recognizes on rat and human N-CAM a unique sequence that could be the specific binding site for chromatin peptide: WHSKWYDAK. This sequence is present in fibronectin type-III domain of N-CAM. In addition molecular modeling studies indicate the N-CAM sequence WHSKWYDAK as, probably, the main active site for DnsDDSDEEN (or pEDDSDEEN) peptide ligand. Accordingly the binding experiments show a high affinity between WHSKWYDAK and DnsDDSDEEN peptides.  相似文献

Low molecular weight peptides were isolated from the chromatin of wheat sprouts. Following gel filtration the peptide fraction shows a sharp inhibiting activity on the growth of HeLa cancer cells. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry have been utilized to characterize the wheat sprout peptides in an attempt to recognize the peptide sequence involved in the control of cell growth. The quantitative presence of a peptide with MH+=572 appears proportional to the cell growth inhibition activity. This compound has been subjected to extensive mass spectrometry analysis. The automatic computational analysis of the ions of second, third and fourth generations indicate a peptide sequence, AcHis-Asp-Ser-Glu-, that binds at the C-terminal a molecule of ethanolamine. Moreover, the results show that some sequences of the wheat sprout peptide family are present in the peptide fractions isolated from several other tissues, thus supporting the hypothesis of ubiquitous regulatory peptides.  相似文献

Wheat sprouts contain a very high level of organic phosphates and a powerful cocktail of different molecules such as enzymes, reducing glycosides and polyphenols. The antioxidant properties of wheat sprouts have been widely documented and it has been shown that they are able to protect DNA against free-radicals mediated oxidative damage. Furthermore, we have recently reported on the effects of several polyphenols on 20S proteasomes, underlying the dual role of epigallocatechin-3-gallate as an antioxidant and a proteasome effector in cancer cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of wheat sprout extracts on 20S proteasome functionality. Wheat sprout extracts have been analysed and characterized for their polyphenolic content using the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and RP-HPLC technique. Comparing our data with a polyphenol standard mixture we identified five different polyphenols: gallic acid, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, epigallocatechin, epicatechin and catechin. The treatment of isolated 20S proteasomes with the extract induced a gradual inhibition of all the tested components, ChT-L, T-L, PGPH and BrAAP, in both the complexes. At low extract concentration a slight activation of the enzyme was evident only for the BrAAP component of the constitutive enzyme and the ChT-L activity of the immunoproteasome. beta-casein degradation rate decreased, particularly with the immunoproteasome. Human Colon adenocarcinoma (Caco) cells, stimulated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, showed activation of the 20S proteasome activities at short incubation times and an increase in intracellular oxidative proteins. Cells treatment with wheat sprout extract led to proteasome inhibition in unstimulated cells and attenuated the effects mediated by TPA. Finally, exposure to the extract affected the expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins.  相似文献

Total hydroalcoholic extract of wheat sprouts was treated with 90% cold acetone as a preliminary step directed to separate antioxidant peptides from antioxidant polyphenols. Surprisingly, the addition of acetone causes the formation of a yellow buoyant gelatinous drop that prevailingly contains peptides and phospholipids. In this context, evidences have been presented that support the hypothesis that peptides (and perhaps other active molecules) are complexed with phospholipids. In fact, the MS/MS analysis of some main ions, present in RP HPLC fractions of wheat sprout extract, generates several ions that correspond to molecular weight of phospholipids or phospholipid fragments. Moreover, several ions were detected that correspond to lysophosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylcholine–peptide complexes. The possibility that phospholipids can be complexed with peptides has been discussed in the light of potential involvement in the peptide bioavailability.

Citric acid whose structure is comparable to that of small acidic peptides, can bind to DNA in the presence of divalent cations (Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Mg2+). Citrate-DNA interaction occurs also in a cell homogenate and in this experimental model too requires the presence of natural divalent cations. In fact the addition of 2 mM EDTA to cell homogenate strongly decreases the DNA-citrate binding. The results demonstrate that divalent cations can act as bridges between two acidic molecules and that citric acid can mimic the structure of acidic peptides.  相似文献

Small phosphorylated chromatin peptides exert a homeostatic regulation on gene expression which causes a strong inhibition of RNA synthesis and growth of neoplastic and fast-growing cells and a remarkable activation of metabolic pathways slowed down in ageing. By biochemical and mass spectrometry analysis, some molecular models of these peptides have been designed and synthesised. Recent studies show that it is possible to find peptidomimetic structures, such as citric acid, able to reproduce the antiproliferative effect. The mechanism of action has been investigated and partially clarified.  相似文献

The binding of citrate and acidic peptide DDSDEEN with DNA in the presence of divalent cations is compared. Citric acid shows a higher number of binding sites on the DNA compared to the peptide; this is probably due to the bigger sitric hindrance of the peptide compared to the citric acid for the binding in the DNA grooves. Moreover, DNA preincubated with saturating amounts of citric acid is not available for the binding with successively added peptide. Therefore the peptide and citrate binding sites to some extent overlap.  相似文献
