Abstract

- Relaxin-3, a member of the insulin superfamily, is involved in regulating stress and feeding behavior. It is highly expressed in the brain and is the endogenous ligand for the receptor RXFP3. As relaxin-3 also interacts with the relaxin receptor RXFP1, selective agonists and antagonists are crucial for studying the physiological function(s) of the relaxin-3/RXFP3 pair. The analog R3(B Delta 23-27)R/I5, in which a C-terminally truncated human relaxin-3 (H3) B-chain is combined with the INSL5 A-chain, is a potent selective RXFP3 antagonist and has an Arg residue remaining on the B-chain C-terminus as a consequence of the recombinant protein production process. To investigate the role of this residue in the RXFP3 receptor binding and activation, the analogs R3(B Delta 23-27)R/I5 and R3(B Delta 23-27)R containing the B-chain C-terminal Arg as well as R3(B Delta 23-27)/I5 and R3(B Delta 23-27), both lacking the Arg, were chemically assembled and their secondary structure and receptor activity assessed. The peptides generally had a similar conformation but those with the extra Arg residue displayed a significantly increased affinity for the RXFP3. Interestingly, in contrast to R3(B Delta 23-27)R and R3(B Delta 23-27)R/I5, the peptide R3(B Delta 23-27) is a weak agonist. This suggests that the C-terminal Arg, although increasing the affinity, alters the manner in which the peptide binds to the receptor and thereby prevents activation, giving R3(B Delta 23-27)R/I5 its potent antagonistic activity.
