Protein kinase A of T. brucei is an attractive drug target as it is an essential enzyme which differs significantly from its human homolog. The hinge region of this protein's regulatory domain is vital for enzymatic function, but its conformation is unknown. Here, the secondary structure of this region has been characterized using NMR and CD spectroscopies. More specifically, three overlapping peptides corresponding to residues T187-I211, G198-Y223 and V220–S245 called peptide 1, peptide 2 and peptide 3, respectively, were studied. The peptide 1 and peptide 2 are chiefly unfolded; only low populations (<10%) of α-helix were detected under the conditions studied. In contrast, the peptide 3 contains a long α-helix whose population is significantly higher; namely, 36% under the conditions studied. Utilizing the dihedral φ and ψ angles calculated on the basis of the NMR data, the conformation of the peptide 3 was calculated and revealed an α-helix spanning residues E230-N241. This α-helix showed amphiphilicity and reversible unfolding and refolding upon heating and cooling. Most fascinating, however, is its capacity to inhibit the activity of the catalytic domain of Trypanosoma equiperdum protein kinase A even though it is quite distinct from the canonical inhibitor motif. Based on this property, we advance that peptoids based on the peptide 3 α-helix could be novel leads for developing anti-trypanosomal therapeutics. | Descripción: | 12 pags., 10 figs., 2 tabs. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.abb.2020.108731 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/248428 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.abb.2020.108731 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1016/j.abb.2020.108731 issn: 1096-0384 |
