The roles of side chain and backbone in protein structure probed with glycine- and sarcosine-rich synthetic leucine zipper peptides.

Abstract:

:The protein folding problem has long been a formidable challenge. Here we present a synthetic natural motif approach that exploits small preexisting structural models for the dissection of forces important in protein folding. An example for this approach is shown in the modification of a 31-residue leucine zipper peptide with the helix-breaking amino acid glycine and the hydrogen bond-breaking imino acid sarcosine. Circular dichroism and NMR experiments have shown that the glycine-modified leucine zipper peptide adopts a stable helical conformation similar to the native conformation while the sarcosine-modified leucine zipper peptide adopts a random coil conformation. These results provide valuable insight into the current controversy over the relative importance of long-range side chain-side chain interactions versus local backbone interactions in protein structure and suggest that the natural motif strategy may represent a useful model to study protein folding.

  • Enhanced antitumor effect of combination of annexin A1 knockdown and bortezomib treatment in multiple myeloma in vitro and in vivo.

    abstract::Bortezomib (BTZ) is one of the most frequently used drugs in treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), but drug-resistance often occurs and limits its clinical efficacy. Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is upregulated in MM, and its knockdown enhances chemosensitivity in MM. However, whether ANXA1 inhibition can increase antitumor activi...
