项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chemically modified protein derivatives represent an important class of molecules with applications ranging from therapeutic development to basic biomedical research. Technologies for the construction of modified proteins are therefore highly desirable. The use of enzymes for installing non-natural protein modifications has gained traction in recent years due to the remarkable site-selectivity that enzymes afford. Among enzymes reported for this purpose, bacterial sortases have garnered significant attention because of their selectivity, and their ability to install a wide range of chemical modifications. While promising, this technology is subject to limitations stemming from the inherent reversibility of the chemistry, and the inability of commonly used sortases to efficiently modify sites other than the termini of protein targets. Circumventing these limitations is critical to the further refinement of sortase-based technology. Addressing these issues would also represent an important step in our long-term effort to exploit sortase reactivity for the construction of protei derivatives for a range of therapeutic, diagnostic, biomaterials, and basic research applications. Specifically, the objective of this proposal is to develop strategies for 1) controlling the equilibrium of sortase-catalyzed ligation reactions and for 2) targeting internal amino acid positions through the controlled formation of isopeptide bonds. We will achieve this objective through two specific aims. First, we will explore the incorporation of masked metal binding peptides into sortase substrate motifs. This will allow for control of reaction equilibrium through the deactivation of critical reaction by-products. These studies will include a rigorous optimization of this metal promoted strategy, an exploration of its compatibility with full size protein targets, and its application to the synthesis of unique polypeptides with potential for use as medical adhesives. Second, we will exploit the reactivity of naturally occurring sortase homologs as a means for efficiently generating isopeptide bonds with nucleophilic lysine residues. Using a combination of synthetic peptides and recombinant protein targets, we will characterize the ability of sortase homologs from Streptococcus suis and Streptococcus oralis to selectively generate isopeptide bonds in vitro. The innovative aspects of this proposal are the novel application of metal peptide complexes for blocking reaction reversibility, and the use of naturally occurring sortase homologs that have never been studied in the context of protein modification chemistry. The proposed research is also significant because it will substantially improve the efficiency and scope of sortase-based strategies. Overall, these studies will provide a foundation for powerful new protein modification methods, and will enhance our fundamental understanding of sortase reactivity and its implementation in protein modification chemistry.

描述（由应用提供）：化学修饰的蛋白衍生物代表了一类重要的分子，其应用从治疗发育到基本的生物医学研究。因此，用于建造改性蛋白的技术是非常可取的。近年来，由于酶提供的显着位点选择性，近年来使用酶用于安装非天然蛋白质修饰。在为此目的报告的酶中，细菌排序酶由于其选择性以及安装广泛的化学修饰的能力而引起了极大的关注。在承诺的同时，该技术受到继承可逆性的限制化学和常用排序酶无法有效地修改蛋白质靶标末端以外的其他位点。规避这些限制对于进一步的基于分子酶技术的进一步完善至关重要。解决这些问题也将是我们长期努力的重要一步，以利用排序酶反应性来构建蛋白衍生物，以构建一系列治疗，诊断，生物材料和基础研究应用程序。具体而言，该提案的目的是为1）制定策略1）控制分子酶催化的连接反应的等效物以及2）通过控制的异肽键的控制形成靶向内部氨基酸位置。我们将通过两个具体目标来实现这一目标。首先，我们将探索将掩盖的金属结合肽掺入分类酶底物基序中。这将允许控制反应平衡关键反应副产品的停用。这些研究将包括对这种金属促进策略的严格优化，对其与全尺寸蛋白质靶标的兼容性的探索以及其用于合成具有使用潜力的独特多肽的应用作为医学粘合剂。其次，我们将探讨天然存在的分子同源物的反应性，作为有效产生具有核假设推理的异肽键的手段。使用合成辣椒和重组蛋白靶标的结合，我们将表征来自SUIS链球菌和Oralis链球菌的分子同源物在体外产生异肽键的能力。该提案的创新方面是金属肽复合物在阻断反应可逆性方面的新应用，以及在蛋白质修饰化学中从未研究过的天然存在的分子同源物的使用。拟议的研究也很重要，因为它将大大提高基于分子酶的策略的效率和范围。总体而言，这些研究将为强大的新蛋白质修饰方法奠定基础，并增强我们对排序酶反应性及其在蛋白质修饰中的实现的基本理解。化学。
