Consideration of Binding Kinetics in the Design of Stapled Peptide Mimics of the Disordered Proteins Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4E-Binding Protein 1 and Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4G.


ABSTRACT: Protein disorder plays a crucial role in signal transduction and is key for many cellular processes including transcription, translation, and cell cycle. Within the intrinsically disordered protein interactome, the ?-helix is commonly used for binding, which is induced via a disorder-to-order transition. Because the targeting of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) remains an important challenge in medicinal chemistry, efforts have been made to mimic this secondary structure for rational inhibitor design through the use of stapled peptides. Cap-dependent mRNA translation is regulated by two disordered proteins, 4E-BP1 and eIF4G, that inhibit or stimulate the activity of the m7G cap-binding translation initiation factor, eIF4E, respectively. Both use an ?-helical motif for eIF4E binding, warranting the investigation of stapled peptide mimics for manipulating eIF4E PPIs. Herein, we describe our efforts toward this goal, resulting in the synthesis of a cell-active stapled peptide for further development in manipulating aberrant cap-dependent translation in human diseases.

Protein disorder plays a crucial role in signal transduction and is key for many cellular processes including transcription, translation, and cell cycle. Within the intrinsically disordered protein interactome, the α-helix is commonly used for binding, which is induced via a disorder-to-order transition. Because the targeting of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) remains an important challenge in medicinal chemistry, efforts have been made to mimic this secondary structure for rational inhibito  ...[more]
