Identification of GXXXXG motif in Chrysophsin-1 and its implication in the design of analogs with cell-selective antimicrobial and anti-endotoxin activities.

ABSTRACT: Marine fish antimicrobial peptide, chrysophsin-1 possesses versatile biological activities but its non-selective nature restricts its therapeutic possibilities. Often small alterations in structural motifs result in significant changes in the properties of concerned proteins/peptides. We have identified GXXXXG motif in chrysophsin-1. Glycine residue(s) of this motif in Chrysophsin-1 was/were replaced with alanine, valine and proline residue(s). Of these, proline-substituted Chrysophsin-1 analogs exhibited significantly reduced cytotoxicity towards mammalian cells. Further, these analogs showed broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and fungi and also retained antibacterial activity in presence of physiological salts, serum and at elevated temperatures indicative of their therapeutic potential. These Chrysophsin-1 analogs also inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced pro-inflammatory responses in THP-1 cells and in murine primary macrophages. One of these single proline-substituted Chrysophsin-1 analogs inhibited LPS-stimulated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in BALB/c mice and elicited appreciable survival of mice administered with a lethal dose of LPS in a model of severe sepsis. The data for the first time showed the implication of GXXXXG motifs in functional and biological properties of an antimicrobial peptide and could be useful to design novel anti-microbial and anti-endotoxin peptides by employing this motif.

Project description:This article contains supplemental datasets of the recently published related research article "Synthesis, Inverse Docking-Assisted Identification and in vitro Biological Characterization of Flavonol-based Analogs of Fisetin as c-Kit, CDK2 and mTOR Inhibitors against Melanoma and Non-melanoma Skin Cancers" by Roy et al., [1]. It provides in-depth data not included in the original co-submission on the biophysical, molecular docking, and biological characterization of newly synthesized flavonol-based analogs of fisetin, a natural dietary small molecule with anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. These synthetic small molecules were investigated as new, potential single and/or multi-kinase inhibitors of the cyclin-dependent kinase-2 (CDK2), receptor tyrosine kinases (c-KITs), and mammalian targets of rapamycin (mTOR) targets, potentially active against melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancers. Furthermore, this data-in-brief article comprises additional sets of results on several aspects of the properties of the dual and multiple kinase inhibitor compounds' effects that were not presented in the associated article, including the activated targets that are dysregulated in skin cancers; the effects on markers of apoptosis; on colony formation; and in scratch wound healing assays. The study has identified a panel of novel fisetin analogs that are either single- or multi-kinase inhibitors, which may be further developed as active for the treatment of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. The dataset presented herein will be utilized for additional studies aiming to establish a biological platform to steer for predictive and experimental screening of novel flavonoids and analogs in relevant organoids, humanized animal models and in vivo disease models. The present results should also serve as a key stepping-stone towards enabling target-structure-based design, synthesis and initial testing of novel analogs or derivatives of fisetin. The current study may eventually lead to the development of safe, promising and preclinical candidate entities for treatment of skin and other forms of cancers as well as various other human diseases, which can possibly add to the general armamentarium of promising and safe drugs for health promotion.
