Arg-Tyr-Asp (RYD) and Arg-Cys-Asp (RCD) motifs in dendroaspin promote selective inhibition of beta1 and beta3 integrins.

ABSTRACT: Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) is a unique minimal integrin-binding sequence that is found within several glycoprotein ligands. This sequence has also been found in snake-venom anti-platelet proteins, including the disintegrins and dendroaspin, a natural variant of short-chain neurotoxins isolated from the venom of Dendroaspis jamesonii. In the present study, the motifs RYD and RCD were introduced into the dendroaspin scaffold to replace RGD. Both motifs in dendroaspin caused inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation with IC(50) values of 200 and 300 nM respectively, similar to that of the wild-type RGD motif (170 nM). In comparison with wild-type dendroaspin, both RYD- and RCD-containing dendroaspins were more selective in the inhibition of the adhesion of K562 cells to laminin rather than to fibrinogen and fibronectin, even though they were 10-30-fold less potent at inhibiting K562 cell (containing alpha(5)beta(1) integrin) adhesion to laminin compared with wild-type. Interestingly, the RYD motif produced a similar IC(50) value to the RGD motif at inhibiting A375-SM cell (beta(3) integrin) adhesion to collagen, whereas the RCD motif was approx. 2-6-fold less potent compared with either RGD or RYD. These findings show that the selectivity of dendroaspin binding to beta(1) and beta(3) integrins can be modulated by the introduction of alternative cell recognition sequences.

Antibacterial mechanism of the Asp - Asp - Asp - Tyr peptide [P. aeruginosa]

Project description:Previously, we found that ASP-ASP-ASP-TYR (DDDY) from Dendrobium aphyllum has a minimum inhibitory concentration of 36.15 mg/mL against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here, we explored the antibacterial mechanism of DDDY and its potential preservation applications. Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed that DDDY mainly affects genes involved in P. aeruginosa membrane transport and amino acid metabolism pathways. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed that DDDY had a stronger effect on 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine phospholipid membranes than on 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-lecithin or 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylglycerol membranes, with high DDDY concentrations displaying stronger efficacy on 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. Mechanistically, the N-terminal of DDDY first bound to the phospholipid head group, while its C-terminal amino acid residue bound the hydrophobic tail, thereby creating a gap in the membrane when the phospholipids were clustered by hydrogen bonding. Finally, DDDY inhibited the growth of food microorganisms inoculated onto chestnut kernels, suggesting that DDDY is a promising antibacterial agent against multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria.

Radiolabeling of a cyclic RGD (cyclo Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Tyr-Lys) peptide using sodium hypochlorite as an oxidizing agent.

Project description:A simple and rapid nonradioactive iodide labeling/radiolabeling method for peptides, using an inexpensive oxidizing agent such as sodium hypochlorite and a cyclic peptide, cRGDyK (cyclo Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Tyr-Lys), was developed in this work. Labeling reaction was optimized by conducting experiments under variable ratios of the reagents, the reaction times, and the pH. The study demonstrated that radiolabeling of the cyclic peptide was fast and pH independent. Monoiodinated and di-iodinated cRGDyK were formed under all conditions and varied with the ratio of the reagents and the reaction time. Total percent of the iodinated cRGDyK (monoiodinated and di-iodinated cRGDyK) varied between 44 and 100 depending on the reaction conditions. Excess cyclic peptide over equal molar ratio of sodium iodide and sodium hypochlorite yielded in predominant amounts of monoiodinated cRGDyK, ie, >60% under 2:1:1 ratio and ~88% under 5:1:1 ratio of cRGDyK:sodium iodide:sodium hypochlorite.

Human CMV infection of endothelial cells induces an angiogenic response through viral binding to EGF receptor and beta1 and beta3 integrins.

Project description:Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is associated with atherosclerosis, transplant vascular sclerosis, and coronary restenosis. A common theme in these vascular diseases is an increased rate of angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is a complex biological process mediated by endothelial cell (EC) proliferation, migration, and morphogenesis. Although angiogenesis is a normal process in the host, its dysregulation, after viral infection or injury to the vessel wall, is associated with plaque development in atherosclerotic patients. We now document that HCMV infection results in increased EC proliferation, motility, and capillary tube formation. The observed HCMV-induced angiogenic response depended on viral binding to and signaling through the beta(1) and beta(3) integrins and the epidermal growth factor receptor, via their ability to activate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Because a proangiogenic response drives the neovascularization observed in atherosclerotic disease, our findings identify a possible mechanism for how HCMV infection contributes to vascular disease.

Beta1 integrins are required for normal CNS myelination and promote AKT-dependent myelin outgrowth.

Project description:Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) produce myelin sheaths that insulate axons to ensure fast propagation of action potentials. beta1 integrins regulate the myelination of peripheral nerves, but their function during the myelination of axonal tracts in the CNS is unclear. Here we show that genetically modified mice lacking beta1 integrins in the CNS present a deficit in myelination but no defects in the development of the oligodendroglial lineage. Instead, in vitro data show that beta1 integrins regulate the outgrowth of myelin sheaths. Oligodendrocytes derived from mutant mice are unable to efficiently extend myelin sheets and fail to activate AKT (also known as AKT1), a kinase that is crucial for axonal ensheathment. The inhibition of PTEN, a negative regulator of AKT, or the expression of a constitutively active form of AKT restores myelin outgrowth in cultured beta1-deficient oligodendrocytes. Our data suggest that beta1 integrins play an instructive role in CNS myelination by promoting myelin wrapping in a process that depends on AKT.

Antibacterial mechanism of peptide Asp-Tyr-Asp-Asp based on multiomics and molecular dynamics [E. coli]

Project description:In this study, the mechanism of action of the small molecular peptide (DYDD) exhibiting antibacterial properties the application of the peptide in the field of food preservation have been presented. Metabolomics and transcriptomic techniques were used to analyze the metabolic effects of DYDD on E. coli. The differential metabolite screening and cluster analysis techniques were used for analyzing the data. It was found that DYDD could up-regulate 44 metabolites, down-regulate 105 metabolites and DYDD primarily affected 35 metabolic pathways in E. coli. Combined with transcriptome analysis, DYDD primarily influenced the metabolic pathways of E. coli by regulating the genes participating in the amino acid metabolic pathways and sulfur metabolic pathways. Then, the effects of DYDD on POPC-, POPE-, and POPG-based membranes were analyzed using the molecular dynamics simulation. The results showed that DYDD had the strongest binding with Pope membrane, and the insertion of DYDD not only led to the disorder of phospholipid head groups, but also increased the surface area and permeability of the membrane. Finally, DYDD was applied to chestnut kernel infected by E. coli. The results showed that DYDD had good antibacterial effect, could delay the decay and browning of chestnut kernel, and had fresh-keeping effect.

Increased primary tumor growth in mice null for beta3- or beta3/beta5-integrins or selectins.

Project description:Expression of alphavbeta3- or alphavbeta5-integrins and selectins is widespread on blood cells and endothelial cells. Here we report that human tumor cells injected s.c. into mice lacking beta3- or beta3/beta5-integrins or various selectins show enhanced tumor growth compared with growth in control mice. There was increased angiogenesis in mice lacking beta3-integrins, but no difference in structure of the vessels was observed by histology or by staining for NG2 and smooth muscle actin in pericytes. Bone marrow transplants suggest that the absence of beta3-integrins on bone marrow-derived host cells contributes to the enhanced tumor growth in beta3-null mice, although few, if any, bone marrow-derived endothelial cells were found in the tumor vasculature. Tumor growth also was affected by bone marrow-derived cells in mice lacking any one or all three selectins, implicating both leukocyte and endothelial selectins in tumor suppression. Reduced infiltration of macrophages was observed in tumors grown in mice lacking either beta3-integrins or selectins. These results implicate cells of the innate immune system, macrophages or perhaps natural killer cells, in each case dependent on integrins and selectins, in tumor suppression.

Specific function of the Met-Tyr-Trp adduct radical and residues Arg-418 and Asp-137 in the atypical catalase reaction of catalase-peroxidase KatG.

Project description:Catalase activity of the dual-function heme enzyme catalase-peroxidase (KatG) depends on several structural elements, including a unique adduct formed from covalently linked side chains of three conserved amino acids (Met-255, Tyr-229, and Trp-107, Mycobacterium tuberculosis KatG numbering) (MYW). Mutagenesis, electron paramagnetic resonance, and optical stopped-flow experiments, along with calculations using density functional theory (DFT) methods revealed the basis of the requirement for a radical on the MYW-adduct, for oxyferrous heme, and for conserved residues Arg-418 and Asp-137 in the rapid catalase reaction. The participation of an oxyferrous heme intermediate (dioxyheme) throughout the pH range of catalase activity is suggested from our finding that carbon monoxide inhibits the activity at both acidic and alkaline pH. In the presence of H(2)O(2), the MYW-adduct radical is formed normally in KatG[D137S] but this mutant is defective in forming dioxyheme and lacks catalase activity. KatG[R418L] is also catalase deficient but exhibits normal formation of the adduct radical and dioxyheme. Both mutants exhibit a coincidence between MYW-adduct radical persistence and H(2)O(2) consumption as a function of time, and enhanced subunit oligomerization during turnover, suggesting that the two mutations disrupting catalase turnover allow increased migration of the MYW-adduct radical to protein surface residues. DFT calculations showed that an interaction between the side chain of residue Arg-418 and Tyr-229 in the MYW-adduct radical favors reaction of the radical with the adjacent dioxyheme intermediate present throughout turnover in WT KatG. Release of molecular oxygen and regeneration of resting enzyme are thereby catalyzed in the last step of a proposed catalase reaction.

Kindlin-2 (Mig-2): a co-activator of beta3 integrins.

Project description:Integrin activation is essential for dynamically linking the extracellular environment and cytoskeletal/signaling networks. Activation is controlled by integrins' short cytoplasmic tails (CTs). It is widely accepted that the head domain of talin (talin-H) can mediate integrin activation by binding to two sites in integrin beta's CT; in integrin beta(3) this is an NPLY(747) motif and the membrane-proximal region. Here, we show that the C-terminal region of integrin beta(3) CT, composed of a conserved TS(752)T region and NITY(759) motif, supports integrin activation by binding to a cytosolic binding partner, kindlin-2, a widely distributed PTB domain protein. Co-transfection of kindlin-2 with talin-H results in a synergistic enhancement of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation. Furthermore, siRNA knockdown of endogenous kindlin-2 impairs talin-induced alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation in transfected CHO cells and blunts alpha(v)beta(3)-mediated adhesion and migration of endothelial cells. Our results thus identify kindlin-2 as a novel regulator of integrin activation; it functions as a coactivator.
