In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, and single crystal x-ray analysis of the cyclic pentapeptide cyclo-(Pro-Phe-Phe-β-Ala-β-Ala). This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 from methanol and adopts in the solid state an unusual conformation characterized by a cis β-Ala5-Pro1 peptide bond and by an intramolecular hydrogen bond stabilizing a C11- and a C12-ring structure. The C11, structure contains the Phe3 and the β-Ala4 at the corner position of the turn; it is the first observation of a type II β-turn enlargement due to the insertion of an extra methylene group of the β-alanine residue. The rest of the molecule participates in a newly characterized C12-ring structure, which incorporates a β-Ala residue at position i of the turn. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

We have evaluated codon usage bias in Drosophila histone genes and have
obtained the nucleotide sequence of a 5,161-bp D. hydei histone gene repeat
unit. This repeat contains genes for all five histone proteins (H1, H2a,
H2b, H3, and H4) and differs from the previously reported one by a second
EcoRI site. These D. hydei repeats have been aligned to each other and to
the 5.0-kb (i.e., long) and 4.8-kb (i.e., short) histone repeat types from
D. melanogaster. In each species, base composition at synonymous sites is
similar to the average genomic composition and approaches that in the small
intergenic spacers of the histone gene repeats. Accumulation of synonymous
changes at synonymous sites after the species diverged is quite high. Both
of these features are consistent with the relatively low codon usage bias
observed in these genes when compared with other Drosophila genes. Thus,
the generalization that abundantly expressed genes in Drosophila have high
codon bias and low rates of silent substitution does not hold for the
histone genes.

Two cyclic and branched peptides (PLA and AZU) were synthesized with the aim of reproducing the active site of the blue copper proteins plastocyanin and azurin. Both peptides, designed on the basis of the x-ray structures of Poplar plastocyanin and Alcaligenes denitrificans azurin. contain the same coordinating residues of the parent native proteins. The visible spectra of PLA in the presence of equimolar amount of Cu(II) strongly support the interaction between the peptide and copper(II) ion. The CD titration of AZU with the Hg(II) ion indicates for the formation of two species. [A ZUHg]+ and [A ZUHg2]3+ having binding constants (Keq) of 3.106 and 2–104M?1, respectively. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The design, synthesis, and metal-binding properties of DF3, a new de novo designed di-iron protein model are described (“DF”
represents due ferri, Italian for “two iron,” “di-iron”). DF3 is the latest member of the DF family of synthetic proteins. They consist of helix–loop–helix
hairpins, designed to dimerize and form an antiparallel four-helix bundle that encompasses a metal-binding site similar to
those of non-heme carboxylate-bridged di-iron proteins. Unlike previous DF proteins, DF3 is highly soluble in water (up to
3 mM) and forms stable complexes with several metal ions (Zn, Co, and Mn), with the desired secondary structure and the expected
stoichiometry of two ions per protein. UV–vis studies of Co(II) and Fe(III) complexes confirm a metal-binding environment
similar to previous di-Co(II)- and di-Fe(III)-DF proteins, including the presence of a μ-oxo-di-Fe(III) unit. Interestingly,
UV–vis, EPR, and resonance Raman studies suggest the interaction of a tyrosine adjacent to the di-Fe(III) center. The design
of DF3 was aimed at increasing the accessibility of small molecules to the active site of the four-helix bundle. Indeed, binding
of azide to the di-Fe(III) site demonstrates a more accessible metal site compared with previous DFs. In fact, fitting of
the binding curve to the Hill equation allows us to quantify a 150% accessibility enhancement, with respect to DF2. All these
results represent a significant step towards the development of a functional synthetic DF metalloprotein. 相似文献

De novo protein design provides an attractive approach for the construction of models to probe the features required for the function of complex metalloproteins. These minimal models contain the essential elements believed necessary for activity of the protein. In this article, we summarize the design, structure determination, and functional properties of a family of artificial diiron proteins. 相似文献

In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, single crystal x-ray analysis, and solution structural characterization by nmr spectroscopy, combined with restrained molecular dynamic simulations, of the cyclic hexapeptide cyclo-(Pro-Phe-β-Ala-Phe-Phe-β-Ala). The peptide was synthesized by classical solution methods and the cyclization of the free hexapeptide was accomplished in good yields in diluted methylenechloride solution using N, N-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 from methanol/ethyl acetate. The molecule adopts in the solid state a conformation characterized by cis β-Ala6-Pro1 peptide bond. The α-amino acid residues are at the corner positions of turned structures. The Pro1-Phe2 segment is incorporated in a pseudo type I β-turn, while Phe4-Phe5 is in a typical type I β-turn. Assignment of all 1H and 13C resonances was achieved by homo- and heteronuclear two-dimensional techniques in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solutions. The conformational analysis was based on inter-proton distances derived from rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy spectra and homonuclear coupling constants. Restrained molecular dynamic simulation in vacuo was also performed to built refined molecular models. The molecule is present in DMSO solution as two slowly interconverting conformers, characterized by a cis-tran isomerism around the β-Ala6-Pro1 peptide bond. This work confirms our expectations on the low propensity of β-alanyl residues to be positioned at the corners of turned structure. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
