The rational drug design in combination with structure based modeling and rapid screening methods offer significant potential for identifying and developing lead anticancer molecules. Thus, the molecular docking method plays an important role in screening a large set of molecules based on their free binding energies and proposes structural hypotheses of how the molecules can inhibit the target. Several peptide based therapeutics have been developed to combat several health disorders including cancers, metabolic disorders, heart-related, and infectious diseases. Despite the discovery of hundreds of such therapeutic peptides however, only few peptide-based drugs have made it to the market. Moreover, until date the activities of cyclic peptides towards molecular targets such as protein kinases, proteases, and apoptosis related proteins have never been explored. In this study we explore the in silico kinase and protease inhibitor potentials of cyclosaplin as well as study the interactions of cyclosaplin with other cancer-related proteins.

  • Role of Surfactin from Bacillus Subtilis in Protection Against Antimicrobial Peptides Produced by Bacillus Species
    Role of surfactin from Bacillus subtilis in protection against antimicrobial peptides produced by Bacillus species by Hans André Eyéghé-Bickong BSc.

Under competitive conditions, our group previously showed that surfactin (Srf) produced by Bacillus subtilis acts antagonistically toward gramicidin S (GS) from a cohabiting bacillus, Aneurinibacillus migulanus, causing the loss the antimicrobial activity of GS. This antagonism appeared to be caused by inactive complex formation. This study aimed to elucidate whether the previously observed antagonism of GS activity by Srf is a general resistance mechanism that also extends to related peptides such as the tyrocidines (Trcs) and linear gramicidins (Grcs) from Bacillus aneurinolyticus. Molecular interaction between the antagonistic peptide pairs was investigated using biophysical analytical methods such as electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS), circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

These mutants produced normal levels of tyrocidine and Bacterial Strains. Bacillus brevis ATCC 8185, the Dubos sporulated at the same frequency as the parent strain. Their strain, was obtained from the American Type Culture Collec- spores, however, were more heat-sensitive and had a reduced tion. Strain S14 is a streptomycin-resistant derivative of B. brevis 4ipicolinic acid content. Gramicidin-producing revertants oc- ATCC 8185, isolated on a streptomycin-gradient plate without curred at a relatively high frequency among tie survivors of mutagenesis. It grows well at 0.5 mg/ml of streptomycin, but prolonged heat treatment and had also regained the ability to produce heat-resistant spores. A normal spore phenotype could growth is retarded by streptomycin at 1.0 mg/ml. Strain B81 also be restored by the addition of gramicidin to cultures of the is a rifampicin-resistant derivative of strain S14, isolated on mutant strain at the end of exponential growth. On the other rifampicin-gradient plates after mutagenesis of spores with hand, the addition of dipicolinic acid could not cure the spore ethyl methanesulfonate (11).

    separations Review Recent Advances in Chiral Analysis of Proteins and Peptides Marine Morvan 1,2,* and Ivan Mikšík 1,2,* 1 Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Vídeˇnská 1083, 142 20 Prague, Czech Republic 2 Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Studentská 573, 532 10 Pardubice, Czech Republic * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (I.M.) Abstract: Like many biological compounds, proteins are found primarily in their homochiral form. However, homochirality is not guaranteed throughout life. Determining their chiral proteinogenic sequence is a complex analytical challenge. This is because certain D-amino acids contained in proteins play a role in human health and disease. This is the case, for example, with D-Asp in elastin, b-amyloid and a-crystallin which, respectively, have an action on arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and cataracts. Sequence-dependent and sequence-independent are the two strategies for detecting the presence and position of D-amino acids in proteins. These methods rely on enzymatic digestion by a site-specific enzyme and acid hydrolysis in a deuterium or tritium environment to limit the natural racemization of amino acids. In this review, chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques, such as LC, SFC, GC and CE, will be recently developed (2018–2020) for the enantioseparation of amino acids and peptides. For future work, the discovery and development of new chiral stationary phases and derivatization reagents could increase the resolution of chiral separations. Keywords: chiral separation; proteins; peptides; D-amino acids Citation: Morvan, M.; Mikšík, I. Recent Advances in Chiral Analysis of Proteins and Peptides.

Vorsitzende: Prof. Dr. Iris Antes Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Prof. Dr. Aphrodite Kapurniotu 2. Prof. Dr. Dr.h.c. Horst Kessler Die Dissertation wurde am 18.01.2019 bei der Technischen Universität München eingereicht und durch die Fakultät Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan für Ernährung, Landnutzung und Umwelt am.07.06.2019 angenommen. Abstract Abstract Protein aggregation is linked to many cell degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). AD is associated with the self-assembly of the 40-42 residue β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) whereas T2D is linked to the aggregation of the 37-residue long islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). Both polypeptides Aβ and IAPP share in addition to their amyloidogenicity 50% of sequence similarity. It has been previously shown that non-fibrillar and non-toxic Aβ and IAPP species bind to each other with low nanomolar affinity and that Aβ-IAPP hetero-association suppresses cytotoxic self-association and amyloidogenesis by both peptides. In addition, clinical and pathophysiological studies suggest that the two diseases AD and T2D might be linked to each other. Earlier work has identified IAPP segments IAPP(8-18) and IAPP(22-28) as “hot segments” in both IAPP self- and its cross-interaction with A. More recently, these segments were linked to each via different linkers and a series of linear IAPP-derived peptides were synthesized.

  • Study of Structure and Dynamics of Monolayers Containing
    STUDY OF STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF MONOLAYERS CONTAINING PROTEINS AND LIPIDS AT THE AIR-WATER INTERFACE USING TWO DIMENSIONAL INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY METHODS by SARATCHANDRA SHANMUKH (Under the Direction of Richard A. Dluhy) ABSTRACT Chapters 3 – 8 of this dissertation are composed of individual manuscripts which have either been published or submitted to scholarly journals. In Chapter 3, 2D IR correlation analyses are performed on IRRAS spectra of surfactant proteins B and C containing lipid monolayers at the air-water interface. Based on the correlation plots, it was concluded that the secondary structures of SP-B and SP-C are heterogenous and change with increase in surface pressure. Chapter 4 describes an investigation using infrared spectroscopy into the change in the secondary structure of deacylated SP-C with pH. In Chapter 5, a new model-based 2D IR method is introduced and described using simulated spectral models. This method, kν correlation, makes use of a set of simulated exponential curves that are mathematically cross-correlated against a set of experimental curves and the resulting correlation plot between spectral frequency and rate constant reveals temporal relationships in terms of a numerical parameter. In Chapter 6, the kν correlation method is used to study the interaction between a phospholipid (DPPA) monolayer and the antibiotic Tetracycline by collecting PM-IRRAS spectra at the air-water interface. A synthetic peptide, mSP-B1-25, is characterized using PM-IRRAS at the air-water interface and kν correlation to determine if it can be used as an effective replacement for the native SP-B protein in lung surfactant.
