Properties of Chemically Oxidized Kininogens*
Vol. 50 No. 3/2003 753–763 QUARTERLY Properties of chemically oxidized kininogens*. Magdalena Nizio³ek, Marcin Kot, Krzysztof Pyka, Pawe³ Mak and Andrzej Kozik½ Faculty of Biotechnology, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland Received: 30 May, 2003; revised: 01 August, 2003; accepted: 11 August, 2003 Key words: bradykinin, N-chlorosuccinimide, chloramine-T, kallidin, kallikrein, reactive oxygen species Kininogens are multifunctional proteins involved in a variety of regulatory pro- cesses including the kinin-formation cascade, blood coagulation, fibrynolysis, inhibi- tion of cysteine proteinases etc. A working hypothesis of this work was that the prop- erties of kininogens may be altered by oxidation of their methionine residues by reac- tive oxygen species that are released at the inflammatory foci during phagocytosis of pathogen particles by recruited neutrophil cells. Two methionine-specific oxidizing reagents, N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) and chloramine-T (CT), were used to oxidize the high molecular mass (HK) and low molecular mass (LK) forms of human kininogen. A nearly complete conversion of methionine residues to methionine sulfoxide residues in the modified proteins was determined by amino acid analysis. Production of kinins from oxidized kininogens by plasma and tissue kallikreins was significantly lower (by at least 70%) than that from native kininogens. This quenching effect on kinin release could primarily be assigned to the modification of the critical Met-361 residue adja- cent to the internal kinin sequence in kininogen. However, virtually no kinin could be formed by human plasma kallikrein from NCS-modified HK. This observation sug- gests involvement of other structural effects detrimental for kinin production. In- deed, NCS-oxidized HK was unable to bind (pre)kallikrein, probably due to the modifi- cation of methionine and/or tryptophan residues at the region on the kininogen mole- cule responsible for the (pro)enzyme binding. -

Capturing Peptide–GPCR Interactions and Their Dynamics
molecules Review Capturing Peptide–GPCR Interactions and Their Dynamics Anette Kaiser * and Irene Coin Faculty of Life Sciences, Institute of Biochemistry, Leipzig University, Brüderstr. 34, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editor: Paolo Ruzza Received: 31 August 2020; Accepted: 9 October 2020; Published: 15 October 2020 Abstract: Many biological functions of peptides are mediated through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Upon ligand binding, GPCRs undergo conformational changes that facilitate the binding and activation of multiple effectors. GPCRs regulate nearly all physiological processes and are a favorite pharmacological target. In particular, drugs are sought after that elicit the recruitment of selected effectors only (biased ligands). Understanding how ligands bind to GPCRs and which conformational changes they induce is a fundamental step toward the development of more efficient and specific drugs. Moreover, it is emerging that the dynamic of the ligand–receptor interaction contributes to the specificity of both ligand recognition and effector recruitment, an aspect that is missing in structural snapshots from crystallography. We describe here biochemical and biophysical techniques to address ligand–receptor interactions in their structural and dynamic aspects, which include mutagenesis, crosslinking, spectroscopic techniques, and mass-spectrometry profiling. With a main focus on peptide receptors, we present methods to unveil the ligand–receptor contact interface and methods that address conformational changes both in the ligand and the GPCR. The presented studies highlight a wide structural heterogeneity among peptide receptors, reveal distinct structural changes occurring during ligand binding and a surprisingly high dynamics of the ligand–GPCR complexes. Keywords: GPCR activation; peptide–GPCR interactions; structural dynamics of GPCRs; peptide ligands; crosslinking; NMR; EPR 1.
