Demonstration of a 1-3 disulfide bond in a synthetic nonapeptide derived from the signal sequence and N-terminus of human gamma-interferon.

Abstract:

:The nonapeptide Cys-Tyr-Cys-Gln-Asp-Pro-Tyr-Val-Lys was prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis under oxidizing conditions. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of the untreated molecule produced an ion consistent with a structure involving an intramolecular disulfide bond between Cys(1) and Cys(3). Mass spectra of the peptide after treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol gave signals corresponding to the reduced disulfide form of the peptide and to a mixed disulfide of the peptide with 2-mercaptoethanol. Molecular mechanics calculations of the conformation of the 11-membered ring formed by disulfide bond closure predicted a discrete, low-energy structure resembling the locus of a gamma turn. We hypothesize that this structure may be important in the recognition and cleavage of the signal sequence of the parent molecule.
