Popis: | [Image: see text] On the basis of the knowledge that the proline-rich hot spot PPPRPP region of P(151)PSNPPPRPP(160), an oligopeptide derived from the cytosolic portion of p22(phox) (p22), binds to the single functional bis-SH3 domain of the regulatory protein p47(phox) (p47), we designed a mimetic of the tripeptide PPP based on NMR and X-ray crystallographic data for the p22(151−161) peptide PPSNPPPRPPA with a peptide construct. Incorporation of the synthetic pseudo-triproline mimetic Pro-Pro-Cyp in a molecule derived from molecular modeling studies led to only a 7-fold diminution in activity in a surface plasmon resonance assay relative to the same molecule containing the natural Pro-Pro-Pro tripeptide. The alternative sequence corresponding to a Pro-Cyp-Pro insertion was inactive. This is a first example of the use of a triproline mimetic to interfere with the formation of the p47–p22 complex, which is critical for the activation of NOX, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species as superoxide anions. |
