Design of inhibitor peptide sequences based on the interfacial knowledge of the protein G-IgG crystallographic complex and their binding studies with IgG.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions (PPI) have emerged as valuable targets in medicinal chemistry due to their key roles in important biological processes. The modulation of PPI by small peptides offers an excellent opportunity to develop drugs against human diseases. Here, we exploited the knowledge of the binding interface of the IgG-protein G complex (PDB:1FCC) for designing peptides that can inhibit these complexes. Herein, we have designed several closely related peptides, and the comparison of results from experiments and computational studies indicated that all the peptides bind close to the expected binding site on IgG and the complexes are stable. A minimal sequence consisting of 11 amino acids (P5) with binding constants in the range of 100 nM was identified. We propose that the main affinity differences across the series of peptides arose from the presence of polar amino acid residues. Further, the molecular dynamic studies helped to understand the dynamic properties of complexes in terms of flexibility of residues and structural stability at the interface. The ability of P5 to compete with the protein G in recognizing IgG can help in the detection and purification of antibodies. Further, it can serve as a versatile tool for a better understanding of protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Single-molecule imaging is invaluable for investigating the heterogeneous behavior and interactions of biological molecules. However, an impediment to precise sampling of single molecules is the irreversible adsorption of components onto the surfaces of cover glasses. This causes continuous changes in the concentrations of different molecules dissolved or suspended in the aqueous phase from the moment a sample is dispensed, which will shift, over time, the position of chemical equilibria between monomeric and multimeric components. Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) is a technique in the single-molecule toolkit that has the capability to detect unlabeled proteins and protein complexes both as they adsorb onto and desorb from a glass surface. Here, we examine the reversible and irreversible interactions between a number of different proteins and glass via analysis of the adsorption and desorption of protein at the single-molecule level. Furthermore, we present a method for surface passivation that virtually eliminates irreversible adsorption while still ensuring the residence time of molecules on surfaces is sufficient for detection of adsorption by iSCAT. By grafting high-density perfluoroalkane brushes on cover-glass surfaces, we observe approximately equal numbers of adsorption and desorption events for proteins at the measurement surface (±1%). The fluorous-aqueous interface also prevents the kinetic trapping of protein complexes and assists in establishing a thermodynamic equilibrium between monomeric and multimeric components. This surface passivation approach is valuable for in vitro single-molecule experiments using iSCAT microscopy because it allows for continuous monitoring of adsorption and desorption of protein without either a decline in detection events or a change in sample composition due to the irreversible binding of protein to surfaces.

Abstract
Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), which are obtained by coupling a potent cytotoxic agent to a monoclonal antibody (mAb), are traditionally bound in a random way to lysine or cysteine residues, with the final product's heterogeneity having an important impact on their activity, characterization, and manufacturing. A new antibody drug delivery system (ADS) based on a non-covalent linkage between a Fc-binding protein, in this case Protein A or Protein G, and a mAb was investigated in the effort to achieve greater homogeneity and to create a versatile and adaptable drug delivery system. Recombinant staphylococcal Protein A and streptococcal Protein G were chemically PEGylated at the N-terminus with a 5 kDa and a 20 kDa PEG, respectively, yielding two monoconjugates with a mass of ≈50 and ≈45 kDa. Circular dichroism studies showed that both conjugates preserved secondary structures of the protein, and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments demonstrated that their affinity for mAb was approximately 107 M-1. Upon complexation with a mAb (Trastuzumab or Rituximab), in vitro flow-cytometry analysis of the new ADSs showed high selectivity for the specific antigen expressing cells. In addition, the ADS complex based on Trastuzumab and Protein G, conjugated with a heterobifunctional 20 kDa PEG carrying the toxin Tubulysin A, had a marked cytotoxic effect on the cancer cell line overexpressing the HER2/neu receptor, thus supporting its application in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Lignin is a major obstacle for cost-effective conversion of cellulose into fermentable sugars. Non-productive adsorption onto insoluble lignin fragments and interactions with soluble phenols are important inhibition mechanisms of cellulases, including β-glucosidases. Here, we examined the inhibitory effect of tannic acid (TAN), a model polyphenolic compound, on β-glucosidases from the bacterium Thermotoga petrophila (TpBGL1 and TpBGL3) and archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus (PfBGL1). The results revealed that the inhibition effects on β-glucosidases were TAN concentration-dependent. TpBGL1 and TpBGL3 were more tolerant to the presence of TAN when compared with PfBGL1, while TpBGL1 was less inhibited when compared with TpBGL3. In an attempt to better understand the inhibitory effect, the interaction between TAN and β-glucosidases were analyzed by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Furthermore, the exposed hydrophobic surface areas in β-glucosidases were analyzed using a fluorescent probe and compared with the results of inhibition and ITC. The binding constants determined by ITC for the interactions between TAN and β-glucosidases presented the same order of magnitude. However, the number of binding sites and exposed hydrophobic surface areas varied for the β-glucosidases studied. The binding between TAN and β-glucosidases were driven by enthalpic effects and with an unfavorable negative change in entropy upon binding. Furthermore, the data suggest that there is a high correlation between exposed hydrophobic surface areas and the number of binding sites on the inhibition of microbial β-glucosidases by TAN. These studies can be useful for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
This study reports the preparation and characterization of cysteine-terminated B-domain (Bd-cys) of Staphylococcus aureus protein A, in combination with immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies directed against the ρ1 and α1 subunits of GABA(A) receptors, for localizing reagents of interest to the target receptor. A cysteine residue was inserted at the C terminus of the cysteine-lacking B-domain (Bd) and used for conjugating maleimide-containing compounds. As determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), binding of a Bd-cys-S-fluorescein conjugate to polyclonal guinea pig anti-GABA(A)-ρ1 and rabbit anti-GABA(A)-α1 IgG was similar to that exhibited by full-length protein A. Surface plasmon resonance analysis of the interaction of Bd-cys-S-PEG3400-biotin conjugate (where PEG is polyethylene glycol) with anti-GABA(A)-ρ1 and anti-GABA(A)-α1 yielded K(D) values of 6.4 ± 1.9 and 0.4 ± 0.1 nM, respectively. Fluorescence anisotropy analysis of the binding of Bd-cys-S-fluorescein to the two antibodies yielded EC50 values of 65 and 18 nM, respectively. As determined with biotin-reactive fluorescent reagents, Bd-cys-S-PEG3400-biotin specifically bound to the plasma membrane of Xenopus laevis oocytes that expressed α1β2γ2 or homomeric ρ1 GABA(A) receptors and were pretreated with the corresponding anti-GABA(A) IgG. The IgG-binding specificity and high affinity of Bd-cys conjugates illustrate the potential of these conjugates, in combination with a selected IgG, to localize compounds of interest at specific cell surface proteins.

Abstract
Bacterial Protein A (PrtA) and Protein G (PrtG) are widely used for affinity purification of antibodies. An understanding of how PrtA and PrtG bind to different isotypes of immunoglobulin type G (IgG) and to their corresponding Fc fragments is essential for the development of PrtA and PrtG mimetic ligands and for the establishment of generic processes for the purification of various antibodies. In this paper, the interactions between the two IgG-binding proteins and IgG of two different subclasses, IgG1 and IgG4, as well as their analogous Fc fragments have been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry. The results indicate that both protein ligands bind IgG and Fc fragments strongly with Ka values in the range of 10(7) -10(8) M(-1) and for both ligands, the interaction with both IgG isotypes is enthalpically driven though entropically unfavorable. Moreover, variation in the standard entropic and standard enthalpic contribution to binding between the two isotypes as well as between IgG and Fc fragment implies that the specific interaction with PrtA varies according to IgG isotype. In contrast to PrtA, PrtG bound to F(ab')(2) fragment with a Ka value of 5.1 × 10(5) M(-1) ; thus underscoring the usefulness of PrtA as a preferred ligand for generic antibody purification processes.

Abstract
We report the effects of peptide adsorption to cross-linked polymers (adsorbents) by its conformational changes. Two adsorbents, APhe and ALeu, were prepared and expected to show high affinity to the oligopeptide VW-8 (NH(2)-Val-Val-Arg-Gly-Cys-Thr-Trp-Trp-COOH) according to our previous studies. These absorbents bared the residues of phenylalanine and leucine, respectively, and carried both hydrophobic and electrical groups. The adsorbent AAsp, which carried only the electrostatic groups, was also prepared as a reference. Both APhe and ALeu were found to exhibit higher VW-8 capacity than AAsp, in which APhe showed the highest VW-8 capacity (13.6 mg/g). The VW-8 adsorption to ALeu and APhe was analyzed using a variety of techniques, including the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The comprehensive experimental data together indicated that APhe could induce a conformational change of VW-8 from a random-coil to a β-strand structure due to its ability to provide the strong ring stacking and electrostatic interactions, which is believed to be responsible for its highest adsorption affinity (K(a)=2.59×10(7) M(-1)). In contrast, the hydrophobic interactions provided by ALeu were not strong enough to induce a VW-8 conformational change to a regular structure, and therefore it exhibited a relatively lower affinity to VW-8 (K(a)=6.23×10(5) M(-1)). The results presented in this work showed that peptide adsorption can be influenced by its conformational changes induced by suitable adsorbents via strong non-covalent interactions.

Abstract
Asp-Phe-Leu-Ala-Glu (DE5) is a frequent sequence of many toxic middle molecular peptides that accumulate in uremic patients. To eliminate these peptides by hemoperfusion, three adsorbents (CP1-Zn(2+), CP2-Zn(2+), and CP3-Zn(2+)) were designed on the basis of coordination and hydrophobic interactions. Adsorption experiments indicated that CP2-Zn(2+) had the highest affinity for DE5 among these three adsorbents. Also, the adsorption capacity of CP2-Zn(2+) in DE5 and DE5-containing peptides was about 2-6 times higher than that of peptides without the DE5 sequence. Linear polymers bearing the same functional groups of the adsorbents were used as models to study the adsorption mechanism via isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and computer-aided analyses. The results indicated that coordination and hydrophobic interactions played the most important roles in their affinity. When two carboxyl moieties on Asp and Glu residues coordinated to CP2-Zn(2+), the hydrophobic interaction took place by the aggregation of the hydrophobic amino acid residues with phenyl group on CP2-Zn(2+). The optimal collaboration of these interactions led to the tight binding and selective adsorption of DE5-containing peptides onto CP2-Zn(2+). These results may provide new insight into the design of affinity adsorbents for peptides containing DE5-like sequences.

Abstract
Therapeutic proteins formulated as liquid solutions at high protein concentration are very sensitive to chemical and physical degradation. Especially avoiding the formation of protein aggregates is very crucial for product quality. In order to stabilize the colloidal properties of protein therapeutics various excipient are used. Especially the detergents polysorbate 20 and 80 are common. However, the mechanism upon which the detergents protect the protein from aggregation is not really known. The present study investigates the interaction of polysorbate 20 and 80 with different proteins: lysozyme, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and an immunoglobulin. The interaction and binding of the detergents to the proteins is investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). From ITC the thermodynamic parameters (DeltaH: change in enthalpy, DeltaS: entropy and DeltaG: free energy) upon binding are derived as well as the binding constant K (a). The thermal stability of the proteins in the presence of the detergent is assessed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that both detergents bind to BSA with K (a) between 8 and 12 x 10(3) M(-1) with DeltaH -50 to -60 kJ/mol (25 degrees C). One to two detergent molecules bind to BSA. The presence of both detergents induces a weak stabilisation of the thermal denaturation properties of BSA. However, the interaction of polysorbate 20 and 80 with lysozyme and the immunoglobulin is quite negligible. The presence of the detergents up to a concentration of 2 mM has no impact on the heat capacity curve neither a destabilisation nor a stabilisation of the native conformation is observed.

Abstract
Elucidation of the energetic principles of binding affinity and specificity is a central task in many branches of current sciences: biology, medicine, pharmacology, chemistry, material sciences, etc. In biomedical research, integral approaches combining structural information with in-solution biophysical data have proved to be a powerful way toward understanding the physical basis of vital cellular phenomena. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a valuable experimental tool facilitating quantification of the thermodynamic parameters that characterize recognition processes involving biomacromolecules. The method provides access to all relevant thermodynamic information by performing a few experiments. In particular, ITC experiments allow to by-pass tedious and (rarely precise) procedures aimed at determining the changes in enthalpy and entropy upon binding by van't Hoff analysis. Notwithstanding limitations, ITC has now the reputation of being the "gold standard" and ITC data are widely used to validate theoretical predictions of thermodynamic parameters, as well as to benchmark the results of novel binding assays. In this paper, we discuss several publications from 2007 reporting ITC results. The focus is on applications in biologically oriented fields. We do not intend a comprehensive coverage of all newly accumulated information. Rather, we emphasize work which has captured our attention with originality and far-reaching analysis, or else has provided ideas for expanding the potential of the method.
