Computational design and experimental confirmation of conformationally constrained peptides to compete with coactivators for pediatric PPAR[Formula: see text] by minimizing indirect readout effect.
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-[Formula: see text] (PPAR[Formula: see text]) is a member of PPAR nuclear receptor family, and its antagonists have been widely used to treat pediatric metabolic disorders. Traditional type-1 and type-2 PPAR[Formula: see text] antagonists are all small-molecule compounds that have been developed to target the ligand-binding site (LBS) of PPAR[Formula: see text], which is not overlapped with the coactivator-interacting site (CIS) of PPAR[Formula: see text]. In this study, we described the rational design of type-3 peptidic antagonists that can directly disrupt PPAR[Formula: see text]-coactivator interaction by physically competing with coactivator proteins for the CIS site. In the procedure, seven reported PPAR[Formula: see text] coactivator proteins were collected and eight 11-mer helical peptide segments that contain the core PPAR[Formula: see text]-binding LXXLL motif were identified in these coactivators, which, however, possessed a large flexibility and intrinsic disorder when splitting from coactivator protein context, and thus would incur a considerable entropy penalty (i.e. indirect readout) upon binding to PPAR[Formula: see text] CIS site. By carefully examining the natively folded conformation of these helical peptides in their parent protein context and in their interaction mode with the CIS site, we rationally designed a hydrocarbon bridge across the solvent-exposed, ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]+ 4) residues to constrain their helical conformation, thus largely minimizing the unfavorable indirect readout effect but having only a moderate influence on favorable enthalpy contribution (i.e. direct readout) upon PPAR[Formula: see text]-peptide binding. The computational findings were further substantiated by fluorescence competition assays.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology aims to publish high quality, original research articles, expository tutorial papers and review papers as well as short, critical comments on technical issues associated with the analysis of cellular information.
The research papers will be technical presentations of new assertions, discoveries and tools, intended for a narrower specialist community. The tutorials, reviews and critical commentary will be targeted at a broader readership of biologists who are interested in using computers but are not knowledgeable about scientific computing, and equally, computer scientists who have an interest in biology but are not familiar with current thrusts nor the language of biology. Such carefully chosen tutorials and articles should greatly accelerate the rate of entry of these new creative scientists into the field.
