SummaryIn an effort to modify the fibrinolytic and/or pharmacokinetic properties of recombinant low M r single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (rscu-PA-32k), mutants were prepared by site-directed mutagenesis of clusters of charged amino acids with the highest solvent accessibility. The following mutants of rscu-PA-32k were prepared: LUK-2 (Lys 212, Glu 213 and Asp 214 to Ala), LUK-3 (Lys 243 and Asp 244 to Ala), LUK-4 (Arg 262, Lys 264, Glu 265 and Arg 267 to Ala), LUK-5 (Lys 300, Glu 301 and Asp 305 to Ala) and LUK-6 (Arg 400, Lys 404, Glu 405 and Glu 406 to Ala).The rscu-PA 32k moictic3 were expressed in High Five Ttichoplasiani cells, and purified to humugciicily from the conditioned cell culture medium, with recoveries of 0.8 to 3.7 mg/1. The specific fibrinolytic activities (220,000 to 300,000 IU/mg), the rates of plasminogen activation by the single-chain moieties and the rates of conversion In lwo chain moieties by plasmin were comparable for mutant and wild-type rscu PA 32k moieties, with the exception of LUK-5 which was virtually inactive. Equi-effective lysis (50% in 2 h) of 60 pi 125I-fibrin labeled plasma clots submerged in 0.5 ml normal human plasma was obtained with 0.7 to 0.8 μg/ml of wild-type or mutant rscu-PA-3?.k, except with LUK-5 (no significant lysis with 16 pg/ml). Following bolus injection in hamsters, all rscu-PA-32k moieties had a comparably rapid plasma clearance (1.3 to 2.7 ml/min), as a result of a short initial half-life (1.4 to 2.5 min). In hamsters with pulmonary embolism, continuous intravenous infusion over 60 min at a dose of 1 mg/kg, resulted in 53 to 72% clot lysis with the mutants, but only 23% with LUK-5, as compared to 36% for wild-type rscu-PA-32k.These data indicate that clustered charge-to-alanine mutants of rscu-PA-32k, designed to eliminate charged regions with the highest solvent accessibility, do not have significantly improved functional, fibrinolytic or pharmacokinetic properties.

In this study, we expressed and purified the recombinant baculovirus 373 K/E p53 protein in a baculovirus expression system to characterize this mutant and compare it with wild type p53. Gel- filtration chromatography and chemical cross-linking experiments indicated that purified recombinant baculovirus 373 K/E p53 protein assembles into multimeric forms ranging from tetramers to polymers. Gel-mobility shift assays and protein-DNA cross-linking studies demonstrated that the recombinant protein binds, to a consensus DNA target as a dimer but that additional p53 mutant molecules may then associate with the preformed p53-dimer-DNA complexes to form a larger p53_DNA complexes. These observations suggest that the p53 mutant tetramers and polymers that forms the minimal p53 mutant complex in solution dissociated upon DNA binding to form p53 mutant dimmer DNA complexes. The DNA binding activity of this mutant was then investigated using electrophoretic mobility shift assays as well as supershift assay with anti-p53 antibodies. Binding of the anti-p53 antibody PAb421to the oligomerization promoting domain on p53 stimulated the sequential formation of both the p53_dimer DNA and larger p53-DNA complexes

<div> <div> <div> <p>“Peptoids” was proposed, over decades ago, as a term describing analogs of peptides that exhibit better physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties than peptides. Oligo-(N-substituted glycines) (oligo-NSG) was previously proposed as a peptoid due to its high proteolytic resistance and membrane permeability. However, oligo-NSG is conformationally flexible and is difficult to achieve a defined shape in water. This conformational flexibility is severely limiting biological application of oligo-NSG. Here, we propose oligo-(N-substituted alanines) (oligo-NSA) as a new peptoid that forms a defined shape in water. A synthetic method established in this study enabled the first isolation and conformational study of optically pure oligo-NSA. Computational simulations, crystallographic studies and spectroscopic analysis demonstrated the well-defined extended shape of oligo-NSA realized by backbone steric effects. The new class of peptoid achieves the constrained conformation without any assistance of N-substituents and serves as an ideal scaffold for displaying functional groups in well-defined three-dimensional space, which leads to effective biomolecular recognition. </p> </div> </div> </div>
