Summary

En protokoll for syntesen av en 1,2-dithiolane endret peptid og karakterisering av supramolecular strukturer som følge av peptid selvtillit forsamlingen.

Abstract

Rapporten fokuserer på syntesen av en N-terminus 1,2-dithiolane endret selv montasje peptid og karakterisering av den resulterende samlet selv supramolecular strukturer. Syntetisk ruten tar nytte av solid-fase peptid syntese med på harpiks koblingen av dithiolane Forløperen molekylet, 3-(acetylthio) -2-(acetylthiomethyl) propanoic syre og mikrobølgeovn-assistert thioacetate deprotection av peptid N-terminus før siste cleavage fra harpiks til 1,2-dithiolane endret peptid. Etter høy ytelse flytende kromatografi (HPLC) rensing av 1,2-dithiolane peptid, avledet fra nucleating kjernen i Aβ peptid forbundet med Alzheimers sykdom, vises peptid å selv samle til kryss-β amyloid fiber. Protokoller som karakteriserer amyloid fiber av Fourier-transform infrarød spektroskopi (FT-IR), sirkulære dichroism spektroskopi (CD) og overføring elektronmikroskop (TEM) presenteres. Metoder for N-terminal endring med en 1,2-dithiolane moiety godt karakterisert selv av peptider kan nå bli utforsket som modellsystemer å utvikle etter montering endring strategier og utforske dynamiske kovalente kjemi på supramolecular peptid nanofiber overflater.

Introduction

Robust peptid bond danner kjemi involvert i solid-fase peptid syntese og kontrollere rekkefølgen lengde og komposisjon gjøre peptidene som selv samle inn supramolecular strukturer et tungt undersøkt felt. Faktorene som kontrollere og stabilisere peptid selv montert strukturer, inkludert side kjede steric og elektrostatiske interaksjoner, hydrogenbinding og hydrofobe effekter1, tjene som et sett med utformingsregler. Som forskningen på disse grunnleggende regler fortsetter å gå videre, innebærer det logiske neste skrittet i peptid selvtillit forsamlingen utvide mangfoldet av peptid-baserte strukturer og funksjoner. Mens selv monterer peptider er en allsidig biomateriale som har blitt brukt for mange biomedisinsk programmer av tuning peptid sekvens eller montering forhold2,3,4, utvikling av strategier for etter montering endringer peptid nanofibers5,6,7,8,9 fortsatt en relativt uutforsket område.

Dynamisk disulfide exchange og thiol kjemi på overflaten av supramolecular strukturer er et område som har potensial til å gi ny og funksjonell biologisk materiale. Inkorporering av 1,2-dithiolane moieties (vanligvis et derivat av lipoic syre (la) eller asparagusic syre (aa)) er rapportert i liposome systemer10,11, blokk copolymers12,13, og som organisere ankere overflater14,15. Her, rapportere vi syntese og karakterisering av en selvstendig montering peptid avledet fra nucleating kjernen i Aβ peptid forbundet med Alzheimers sykdom som er endret på N-terminus med en 1,2-dithiolane funksjonsgruppe16, 17. Den resulterende supramolecular fiber nå fungere som en eksperimentell plattform å studere disulfide-utveksling og thiol reaktivitet på supramolecular overflaten av amyloid fiber18.
