  • NMR as a tool in drug research : Structure elucidation of peptidomimetics and pilicide-chaperone complexes
  • 2004
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • In the last decades NMR spectroscopy has become an invaluable tool both in academic research and in the pharmaceutical industry. This thesis describes applications of NMR spectroscopy in biomedicinal research for structure elucidation of biologically active peptides and peptidomimetics as well as in studies of ligand-protein interactions. The first part of this thesis describes the theory and methodology of structure calculations of peptides using experimental restraints derived from NMR spectroscopy. This methodology has been applied to novel mimetics of the peptide hormones desmopressin and Leu-enkephalin. The results of these studies highlight the complicating issue of conformational exchange often encountered in structural determination of peptides and how careful analysis of experimental data as well as optimization of experimental conditions can enable structure determinations in such instances. Although the mimetics of both desmopressin and Leu-enkephalin were found to adopt the wanted conformations, they exhibited no or very poor biological activity. These results demonstrate the difficulties in designing peptidomimetics without detailed structural information of the receptors. A stereoselective synthetic route towards XxxΨ[CH2O]Ala pseudodipeptides is also presented. Such pseudodipeptides can be used as isosteric amide bond replacements in peptides in order to increase their resistance towards proteolytic degradation. The second part of this thesis describes the study of the interaction between compounds that inhibit pilius assembly, pilicides, and periplasmic chaperones from uropathogenic Escherichia coli. Periplasmic chaperones are key components in assembly of pili, i.e. hair-like protein complexes located on the surface of Escherichia coli that cause urinary tract infections. Detailed knowledge about this interaction is important in understanding how pilicides can inhibit pilus assembly by binding to chaperones. Relaxation-edited NMR experiments were used to confirm the affinity of the pilicides for the chaperones and chemical shift mapping was used to study the pilicide-chaperone interaction surface. These studies show that at least two interaction sites are present on the chaperone surface and consequently that two different mechanisms resulting in inhibition of pilus assembly may exist.

  • Synthesis and conformational studies of a β-turn mimetic incorporated in Leu-enkephalin

    • A β-turn mimetic in which the four amino acids of a β-turn have been replaced by a 10-membered ring has been designed, synthesized, and subjected to conformational studies. In the mimetic, the intramolecular COi − HNi+3 hydrogen bond that is often found in β-turns has been replaced by an ethylene bridge. In addition, the amide bond between residues i and i + 1 was exchanged for a methylene ether isoster. Such a β-turn mimetic, based on the first four residues of Leu-enkephalin (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu), was prepared in 15 steps. The synthesis relied on a β-azido alcohol prepared in five steps from Cbz-Tyr(tBu)-OH as a key, i-position building block. tert-Butyl bromoacetate, glycine, and a Phe-Leu dipetide were then used as building blocks for positions i + 1, i + 2, and i + 3, respectively. Conformational studies based on 1H NMR data showed that the β-turn mimetic was flexible, but that it resembled a type-II β-turn at low temperature. This low energy conformer closely resembled the structure determined for crystalline Leu-enkephalin.

  • Glycosylation of type II collagen is of major importance for T cell tolerance and pathology in collagen-induced arthritis.
  • 2002

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Type II collagen (CII) is a candidate cartilage-specific autoantigen, which can become post-translationally modified by hydroxylation and glycosylation. T cell recognition of CII is essential for the development of murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and also occurs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The common denominator of murine CIA and human RA is the presentation of an immunodominant CII-derived glycosylated peptide on murine Aq and human DR4 molecules, respectively. To investigate the importance of T cell recognition of glycosylated CII in CIA development after immunization with heterologous CII, we treated neonatal mice with different heterologous CII-peptides (non-modified, hydroxylated and galactosylated). Treatment with the galactosylated peptide (galactoseat position 264) was superior in protecting mice from CIA. Protection was accompanied by a reduced antibody response to CII and by an impaired T cell response to the glycopeptide. To investigate the importance of glycopeptide recognition in an autologous CIA model, we treated MMC-transgenic mice, which express the heterologous CII epitope with a glutamic acid in position 266 in cartilage, with CII-peptides. Again, a strong vaccination potential of the glycopeptide was seen. Hence CII-glycopeptides may be the optimal choice of vaccination target in RA, since humans share the same epitope as the MMC mouse

  • Predominant selection of T cells specific for the glycosylated collagen type II epitope (263-270) in humanized transgenic mice and in rheumatoid arthritis.
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. - : Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. - 1091-6490 .- 0027-8424. ; 99:15, s. 9960-9965

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with certain MHC class II alleles and is characterized by a chronic autoimmune response in the joints. Using transgenic mice expressing human DR4 (DRB1*0401) and human CD4, but lacking endogenous MHC class II, we show that posttranslational glycosylation of type II collagen (CII) influences the level of T cell tolerance to this candidate cartilage-specific autoantigen. In such mice, the expression of human CII resulted in a tolerized murine T cell response to human CII. However, tolerance induction remained incomplete, preferentially deleting responses to the nonmodified CII 263-270 epitope, whereas T cell recognition of a glycosylated variant of this epitope was affected to a lesser degree. A similar dominance of T cell responses to CII-glycopeptides was recorded in a cohort of severely affected RA-patients (n = 14). Thus, RA T cells predominantly recognize the immunodominant CII peptide in its glycosylated form and may explain why previously it has been difficult to detect T cell responses to CII in RA patients.

  • Chemoenzymatic synthesis of derivatives of a T-cell-stimulating peptide which carry tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens
  • 2001

    • The Tn (GalNAc-Ser/Thr), T [Gal(13)GalNAc-Ser/Thr], sialyl-Tn [Neu5Ac(26)GalNAc-Ser/Thr] and 2,3-sialyl-T [Neu5Ac(23)Gal(13)GalNAc-Ser/Thr] antigens are examples of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens expressed by epithelial cancers. We now describe the preparation of 2-bromoethyl glycosides corresponding to the Tn and T antigens in one and five chemical steps (51 and 15% total yield), respectively, starting from N-acetylgalactosamine. The 2-bromoethyl Tn and T glycosides were used to alkylate a homocysteine residue incorporated in a peptide that is able to bind to class I MHC molecules on antigen-presenting cells. The two neoglycopeptides were then converted into glycopeptides which carry the sialyl-Tn and 2,3-sialyl-T antigens by using recombinant sialyltransferases. Interestingly, the sialyltransferases were able to sialylate the Tn and T carbohydrate moieties even though they were linked to the peptide backbone via a spacer instead of being attached to serine or threonine. The four glycopeptides will be used in studies directed towards inducing a carbohydrate-specific T cell response against the Tn, T, sialyl-Tn, and 2,3-sialyl-T antigens.

  • A total synthesis of hydroxylysine in protected form and investigations of the reductive opening of p-methoxybenzylidene acetals
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Journal of Organic Chemistry. - Easton, Pa. : American Chemical Society. - 0022-3263 .- 1520-6904. ; 69:25, s. 8694-8701

    • A synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydoxylysine, based on (R)-malic acid and Williams glycine template as chiral precursors, has been developed. This afforded hydroxylysine, suitably protected for direct use in peptide synthesis, in 32% yield over the 13-step sequence. Regioselective reductive opening of a p-methoxybenzylidene acetal and alkylation of the Williams glycine template were key steps in the synthetic sequence. Surprisingly, the regioselectivity in opening of the p-methoxybenzylidene acetal was reversed as compared to what was expected. It was found that this was due to chelation of the trialkylsilyl choride, used as an electrophile in the reductive opening, to an adjacent azide functionality. It was also discovered that an equivalent amount of trialkylsilyl hydride was formed in the reaction, a finding that led to additional mechanistic insight into reductive openings of p-methoxybenzylidene acetals with sodium cyanoborohydride as reducing agent.

  • Synthesis of a C-glycoside analogue of β-D -galactosyl threonine
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Journal of Organic Chemistry. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0022-3263 .- 1520-6904. ; 68:6, s. 2506-2509
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A C-linked analogue of β-d-galactosylthreonine has been prepared from 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-d-galactopyranolactone (1) in 14 steps. Three stereogenic centers were created during the synthesis, with the anomeric center of the C-glycoside being generated first by addition of a Grignard reagent to 1 and subsequent reduction of the intermediate hemiacetal with triethylsilane. The two stereogenic centers in the threonine moiety were both established by alkylation of Evans' chiral N-acyloxazolidinone enolates.

  • Conformations and Receptor Activity of Desmopressin Analogues, Which Contain -Turn Mimetics or a [CH2O] Isostere
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0022-2623 .- 1520-4804. ; 45:12, s. 2501-11
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Three analogues of the antidiuretic drug desmopressin ([1-desamino,8-D-arginine]vasopressin) have been prepared. In two of these, -turn mimetics based on a morpholin-3-one framework have been inserted instead of residues Phe3-Asn5, whereas the third analogue has a methylene ether isostere in place of the amide bond between residues 3 and 4. The three analogues were used to probe if the structure determined for desmopressin in aqueous solution, which contains an inverse -turn centered around Gln4, is important in interactions with the vasopressin V2 receptor. Conformational studies revealed that the analogues that contain either an inverse -turn mimetic or a methylene ether isostere mimicked the conformation of desmopressin fairly well and very well, respectively. Despite this, the analogues displayed only very low agonistic activities at the vasopressin V2 receptor. Consequently, an inverse -turn involving residues Phe3-Asn5 does not appear to be important when desmopressin is bound to the V2 receptor. In addition, it was concluded that the amide bond between Phe3 and Gln4 in desmopressin is crucial for interactions with the antidiuretic V2 receptor.
