Deviation of Trypsin Activity Using Peptide Conformational Imprints.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a methodology utilizing peptide conformational imprints (PCIs) as a tool to specifically immobilize porcine pancreatic alpha-trypsin (PPT) at a targeted position is demonstrated. Owing to the fabrication of segment-mediated PCIs on the magnetic particles (PCIMPs), elegant cavities complementary to the PPT structure are constructed. Based on the sequence on targeted PPT, the individual region of the enzyme is trapped with different template-derived PCIMPs to show certain types of inhibition. Upon hydrolysis, N-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) is employed to assess the hydrolytic activity of PCIMPs bound to the trypsin using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Further, the kinetic data of four different PCIMPs are compared. As a result, the PCIMPs presented non-competitive inhibition toward trypsin, according to the Lineweaver-Burk plot. Further, the kinetic analysis confirmed that the best parameters of PPT/PCIMPs ^233-245+G were V_max = 1.47 × 10^-3 mM s^-1, K_m = 0.42 mM, k_cat = 1.16 s^-1, and k_cat/K_m = 2.79 mM^-1 s^-1. As PPT is bound tightly to the correct position, its catalytic activities could be sustained. Additionally, our findings stated that the immobilized PPT could maintain stable activity even after four successive cycles.

Project description:BackgroundPrecise determination of conformational epitopes of neutralizing antibodies represents a key step in the rational design of novel vaccines. A powerful experimental method to gain insights on the physical chemical nature of conformational epitopes is the selection of linear peptides that bind with high affinities to a monoclonal antibody of interest by phage display technology. However, the structural characterization of conformational epitopes from these mimotopes is not straightforward, and in the past the interpretation of peptide sequences from phage display experiments focused on linear sequence analysis to find a consensus sequence or common sequence motifs.ResultsWe present a fully automated search method, EpiSearch that predicts the possible location of conformational epitopes on the surface of an antigen. The algorithm uses peptide sequences from phage display experiments as input, and ranks all surface exposed patches according to the frequency distribution of similar residues in the peptides and in the patch. We have tested the performance of the EpiSearch algorithm for six experimental data sets of phage display experiments, the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2/neu), the antibody mAb Bo2C11 targeting the C(2) domain of FVIII, antibodies mAb 17b and mAb b12 of the HIV envelope protein gp120, mAb 13b5 targeting HIV-1 capsid protein and 80R of the SARS coronavirus spike protein. In all these examples the conformational epitopes as determined by the X-ray crystal structures of the antibody-antigen complexes, were found within the highest scoring patches of EpiSearch, covering in most cases more than 50% residues of experimental observed conformational epitopes. Input options of the program include mapping of a single peptide or a set of peptides on the antigen structure, and the results of the calculation can be visualized on our interactive web server.AvailabilityUsers can access the EpiSearch from our web server http://curie.utmb.edu/episearch.html.
