Cyclic Analogues of Proline-Rich Protein Fragments : Part II : Conformational Studies Using NMR Spectroscopy and Theoretical Conformational Analysis

These peptides were designed based on the immunoregulatory activity of linear peptides obtained after chymotrypsin digestion of PRP. Despite the fact that the structures of both analogues cannot be interpreted in terms of a single conformation, the superposition of the most populated conformations of the cyclic peptides studied revealed a similar geometry for the Tyr-Val-pro-Leu-Phe-Pro fragment (RMSD=1.6 A) in both peptides and therefore might be considered to be responsible for the biological activity.

Cyclic analogues of proline-rich protein fragments. Part 1. Synthesis and evaluation of immunotropic activity

Proline-rich protein (PRP), isolated from ovine colostrum, possesses strong immunotropic activity. The nonapeptide (Val-Glu-Ser-Tyr-Val-Pro-Leu-Phe-Pro) and the hexapeptide (Tyr-Val-Pro-Leu-Phe-Pro) PRP fragments reveled biological activity similar to that of the native protein. Seeking for analogues of PRP fragments with costrained structure, two cyclic peptides were synthesized by the solid phase method: Cys-Val-Glu-Ser-Tyr-Val-Pro-Leu-Phe-Pro-Cys and Ac-Glu-Tyr-Val-Pro-Leu-Phe-Pro-Lys-NH2. Immunotropic activity of both peptides in murine system was the same as for linear nonapeptide, whereas all three peptides were practically inactive in human system, where resistance to hydrocortisone and induction of two cytokinins IFN and TNF were used as indicators, respectively.
