Abstract: | The carboxyl terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-8) has been hypothesized to account for the bioactivity of all the molecular forms of cholecystokinin. However, the physiological relevance of CCK-58 has not been rigorously examined because of the lack of sufficient amounts of the peptide and concerns about inactivation of natural peptides during their purification. Therefore, canine-sulfated CCK-58 was synthesized and conditions determined for its unblocking and purification that preserved the sulfated tyrosine. Synthetic CCK-58 was indistinguishable from natural CCK-58 by amino acid analysis and by mass spectrometry. Synthetic CCK-58 and CCK-8 have different patterns of pancreatic stimulation: both caused a dose-related increase in amylase release, while only CCK-58 stimulated bile-pancreatic output volume. Thus, CCK-58 and CCK-8 are biased agonists at the CCK-A receptor (they have distinct patterns of action mediated by the same receptor). Previous work has demonstrated that the identical carboxyl termini of CCK-8 and CCK-58 have different solution conformations. Taken together, the physiological and structural results support the hypothesis that different carboxyl terminal conformations of CCK-58 and CCK-8 alter the expression of their biological activity. |
