Rapid discovery of cyclic peptide protein aggregation inhibitors through continuous selection HTS data
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report a new platform for the rapid phenotypic selection of protein aggregation inhibitors from genetically encoded cyclic peptide libraries in E. coli based on phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE). Here, we developed a new PACE-compatible selection for protein aggregation inhibition and employed it to identify cyclic peptides that suppress amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) and human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) aggregation. Additionally, we integrated a negative selection that removes false positives and off-target hits, significantly improving cyclic peptide selectivity. We show that selected inhibitors are active when chemically re-synthesized in in vitro assays. Our platform provides a powerful new approach for the rapid discovery of cyclic peptide inhibitors of protein aggregation and may serve as the basis for the future evolution of cyclic peptides with a broad spectrum of inhibitory activities. Data deposited here are HTS data critical to the conclusions of this study.
