Extent of N-Terminus Folding of Semenogelin 1 Cleavage Product Determines Tendency to Amyloid Formation. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24108949. [PMID: 37240295 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
It is known that four peptide fragments of predominant protein in human semen Semenogelin 1 (SEM1) (SEM1(86-107), SEM1(68-107), SEM1(49-107) and SEM1(45-107)) are involved in fertilization and amyloid formation processes. In this work, the structure and dynamic behavior of SEM1(45-107) and SEM1(49-107) peptides and their N-domains were described. According to ThT fluorescence spectroscopy data, it was shown that the amyloid formation of SEM1(45-107) starts immediately after purification, which is not observed for SEM1(49-107). Seeing that the peptide amino acid sequence of SEM1(45-107) differs from SEM1(49-107) only by the presence of four additional amino acid residues in the N domain, these domains of both peptides were obtained via solid-phase synthesis and the difference in their dynamics and structure was investigated. SEM1(45-67) and SEM1(49-67) showed no principal difference in dynamic behavior in water solution. Furthermore, we obtained mostly disordered structures of SEM1(45-67) and SEM1(49-67). However, SEM1(45-67) contains a helix (E58-K60) and helix-like (S49-Q51) fragments. These helical fragments may rearrange into β-strands during amyloid formation process. Thus, the difference in full-length peptides' (SEM1(45-107) and SEM1(49-107)) amyloid-forming behavior may be explained by the presence of a structured helix at the SEM1(45-107) N-terminus, which contributes to an increased rate of amyloid formation.

Dithiophosphate-Induced Redox Conversions of Reduced and Oxidized Glutathione. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26102973. [PMID: 34067789 PMCID: PMC8157023 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26102973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Phosphorus species are potent modulators of physicochemical and bioactive properties of peptide compounds. O,O-diorganyl dithiophoshoric acids (DTP) form bioactive salts with nitrogen-containing biomolecules; however, their potential as a peptide modifier is poorly known. We synthesized amphiphilic ammonium salts of O,O-dimenthyl DTP with glutathione, a vital tripeptide with antioxidant, protective and regulatory functions. DTP moiety imparted radical scavenging activity to oxidized glutathione (GSSG), modulated the activity of reduced glutathione (GSH) and profoundly improved adsorption and electrooxidation of both glutathione salts on graphene oxide modified electrode. According to NMR spectroscopy and GC–MS, the dithiophosphates persisted against immediate dissociation in an aqueous solution accompanied by hydrolysis of DTP moiety into phosphoric acid, menthol and hydrogen sulfide as well as in situ thiol-disulfide conversions in peptide moieties due to the oxidation of GSH and reduction of GSSG. The thiol content available in dissolved GSH dithiophosphate was more stable during air oxidation compared with free GSH. GSH and the dithiophosphates, unlike DTP, caused a thiol-dependent reduction of MTS tetrazolium salt. The results for the first time suggest O,O-dimenthyl DTP as a redox modifier for glutathione, which releases hydrogen sulfide and induces biorelevant redox conversions of thiol/disulfide groups.

Molecular Recognition of Imidazole Derivatives by Co(III)-Porphyrinsin Phosphate Buffer (pH = 7.4) and Cetylpyridinium Chloride Containing Solutions. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26040868. [PMID: 33562133 PMCID: PMC7915429 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26040868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2021] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Bymeans of spectrophotometric titration and NMR spectroscopy, the selective binding ability ofthe Co(III)-5,15-bis-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-10,20-bis-(4-sulfophenyl)porphyrin (Со(III)Р1) andCo(III)-5,15-bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-10,20-bis-(4-sulfophenyl)porphyrin (Со(III)Р2) towards imidazole derivatives of various nature (imidazole (L1), metronidazole (L2), and histamine (L3)) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) has been studied. It was found that in the case of L2, L3 the binding of the "first" ligand molecule by porphyrinatesCo(III)P1 and Co(III)P2 occurs with the formation of complexes with two binding sites (donor-acceptor bond at the center and hydrogen bond at the periphery of the macrocycle), while the "second" ligand molecule is added to the metalloporphyrin only due to the formation of the donor-acceptor bond at the macrocycle coordination center. The formation of stable complexes with two binding sites has been confirmed by density functional theory method (DFT) quantum chemical calculations and two-dimensional NMR experiments. It was shown that among the studied porphyrinates, Co(III)P2 is more selective towards to L1-L3 ligands, and localization of cobalt porphyrinates in cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) micelles does not prevent the studied imidazole derivatives reversible binding. The obtained materials can be used to develop effective receptors for recognition, delivery, and prolonged release of drug compounds to the sites of their functioning. Considering that cetylpyridinium chloride is a widely used cationic biocide as a disinfectant, the designed materials may also prove to be effective antimicrobial agents.

Effect of triphenylphosphonium moiety on spatial structure and biointeractions of stereochemical variants of YRFK motif. EUROPEAN BIOPHYSICS JOURNAL: EBJ 2018; 48:25-34. [PMID: 30105402 DOI: 10.1007/s00249-018-1327-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2018] [Revised: 07/24/2018] [Accepted: 08/06/2018] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Chemical modification of therapeutic peptides is an important approach to improving their physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. The triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation has proved to be a powerful modifier; however, its effects on peptide structure and activity remain uncharacterized. In this study, cytoprotective tetrapeptides based on the YRFK opioid motif with L- or D-Arg residues were linked to (triphenylphosphonio)carboxylic acids with ethylene and pentylene spacers (TPP-3 and TPP-6 groups, respectively). The three-dimensional structure of the oligopeptides was analyzed by NMR spectroscopy, computational methods and circular dichroism (CD). A more compact and bent structure with segregated aromatic groups was revealed for the D-arginine-containing tetrapeptide and its TPP-6 derivative. The TPP moiety caused structure-organizing effect on the tetrapeptides, resulting in transition from random coil to β-sheet structures, and decreased the peptide backbone flexibility up to ten times. The TPP-3-modified oligopeptide with the lowest RMSD value (ca. 0.05 Å) was characterized by intrapeptide hydrophobic interactions between the TPP and side groups of Tyr and Phe residues accompanied by strong CD induction. The TPP-6-modified oligopeptides showed enhanced ability to form intermolecular associates and disturb liposomal membranes. The relationship between the spatial structure of the oligopeptides and some of their biologically relevant interactions were additionally revealed and are discussed.
