Study on the Analgesic Activity of Peptide from Conus achates.
Background: As a peptide originally discovered from Conus achates by mass spectrometry and cDNA sequencing, Ac6.4 contains 25 amino acid residues and three disulfide bridges. Our previous study found that this peptide possesses 80% similarity to MVIIA by BLAST and that MVIIA is a potent and selective blocker of N-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels in neurons.
Objective: To recognize the target protein and analgesic activity of Ac6.4 from Conus achates.
Methods: In the present study, we synthesized Ac6.4, expressed the Trx-Ac6.4 fusion protein, tested Ac6.4 for its inhibitory activity against Cav2.2 in CHO cells and investigated Ac6.4 and Trx-Ac6.4 for their analgesic activities in mice.
Results: Data revealed that Ac6.4 had strong inhibitory activity against Cav2.2 (IC50 = 43.6 nM). After intracranial administration of Ac6.4 (5, 10, 20 μg/kg) and Trx-Ac6.4 (20, 40, 80 μg/kg), significant analgesia was observed. The analgesic effects (elevated pain thresholds) were dose-dependent.
Conclusion: This study expands our knowledge of the peptide Ac6.4 and provides new possibilities for developing Cav2.2 inhibitors and analgesic drugs.
期刊介绍：
Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations.
Protein & Peptide Letters focuses on:
Structure Studies
Advances in Recombinant Expression
Drug Design
Chemical Synthesis
Function
Pharmacology
Enzymology
Conformational Analysis
Immunology
Biotechnology
Protein Engineering
Protein Folding
Sequencing
Molecular Recognition
Purification and Analysis
