Functional peptides, which are composed of proteinogenic natural amino acids, are expected to be used as biomaterials with minimal environmental impact. Synthesizing a functional peptide with a shorter amino acid sequence while retaining its function is a easy and economical strategy. Furthermore, shortening functional peptides helps to elucidate the mechanism of their functional core region. Truncated elastin-like peptides (ELPs) are peptides consisting of repetitive sequences, derived from the elastic protein tropoelastin, that show the thermosensitive formation of coacervates. In this study, to obtain shortened ELP analogues, we synthesized several (Phe-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)n (FPGVG)n analogues with one or two amino acid residues deleted from each repeat sequence, such as the peptide analogues consisting of FPGV and/or FPG sequences. Among the novel truncated ELP analogues, the 16-mer (FPGV)4 exhibited a stronger coacervation ability than the 25-mer (FPGVG)5. These results indicated that the coacervation ability of truncated ELPs was affected by the amino acid sequence and not by the peptide chain length. Based on this finding, we prepared Cd2+-binding sequence-conjugated ELP analogue, AADAAC-(FPGV)4, and found that it could capture Cd2+. These results indicated that the 16-mer (FPGV)4 only composed of proteinogenic amino acids could be a new biomaterial with low environmental impact..
4. Keitaro Suyama, Marin Shimizu, Iori Maeda, Takeru Nose, Flexible customization of the self-assembling abilities of short elastin-like peptide Fn analogs by substituting N-terminal amino acids, BIOPOLYMERS, 10.1002/bip.23521, 2022.07, Elastin-like peptides (ELPs) are thermoresponsive biopolymers inspired by the characteristic repetitive sequences of natural elastin. As ELPs exhibit temperature-dependent reversible self-assembly, they are expected to be biocompatible thermoresponsive materials for drug delivery carriers. One of the most widely studied ELPs in this field is the repetitive pentapeptide, (VPGXG)(n). We previously reported that phenylalanine-containing ELP (Fn) analogs, in which the former Val residue of the repetitive sequence (VPGVG)(n) is replaced by Phe, show coacervation with a short chain length (n = 5). Owing to their short sequences, Fn analogs are easily modified in amino acid sequences via simple chemical synthesis, and are useful for investigating the relationship between peptide sequences and temperature responsiveness. In this study, we developed Fn analogs by replacing Phe residue(s) with other amino acids or introducing another amino acid at the N-terminus. The temperature responsiveness of the Fn analogs changed drastically with the substitution of a single Phe residue, suggesting that aromatic amino acids play an important role in their self-assembly. In addition, the self-assembling ability of Fn was enhanced by increasing the bulkiness of the N-terminal amino acids. Therefore, the N-terminal residue was considered to be important for hydrophobicity-induced intermolecular interactions between the peptides during coacervation..

Short elastin-like peptide (ELP) analogues conjugated with metal chelating agents are considered to be useful as metal sequestering agents as they are readily produced, environment friendly, and the metal binding domain can be selected based on any target metal of interest. Due to the temperature dependent self-assembly of ELP, the peptide-based sequestering agents can be transformed from the solution state into the particles that chelate metal ions, which can then be collected as precipitates. In this study, we developed a peptide-based sequestering agent, AADAAC-(FPGVG)(4), by introducing the metal-binding sequence AADAAC on the N-terminus of a short ELP, (FPGVG)(4). In turbidity measurements, AADAAC-(FPGVG)(4) revealed strong self-assembling ability in the presence of metal ions such as Cd2+ and Zn2+. The results from colorimetric analysis indicated that AADAAC-(FPGVG)(4) could capture Cd2+ and Zn2+. Furthermore, AADAAC-(FPGVG)(4) that bound to metal ions could be readily recycled by treatment with acidic solution without compromising its metal binding affinity. The present study indicates that the fusion of the metal-binding sequence and ELP is a useful and powerful strategy to develop cost-effective heavy metal scavenging agents with low environmental impacts..

A variety of halogenated bisphenol analogs have recently been developed and are used as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA), which is a raw material of polycarbonate that has adverse effects in animals. However, limited information is available on the potential toxicity of the halogenated BPA analogs. In the present study, to assess the latent toxicity of halogenated BPA analogs, we evaluated the binding and transcriptional activities of halogenated BPA analogs to the estrogen-related receptor γ(ERRγ), a nuclear receptor that contributes to the growth of nerves and sexual glands. Fluorinated BPA analogs demonstrated strong ERRγbinding potency, and inverse antagonistic activity, similar to BPA. X-ray crystallography and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculation revealed that a fluorine-substituted BPA analog could interact with several amino acid residues of ERRγ-LBD, strengthening the binding affinity of the analogs. The ERRγbinding affinity and transcriptional activity of the halogenated BPAs decreased with the increase in the size and number of halogen atom(s). The IC50 values, determined by the competitive binding assay, correlated well with the binding energy obtained from the docking calculation, suggesting that the docking calculation could correctly estimate the ERRγbinding potency of the BPA analogs. These results confirmed that ERRγhas a ligand binding pocket that fits very well to BPA. Furthermore, this study showed that the binding affinity of the BPA analogs can be predicted by the docking calculation, indicating the importance of the calculation method in the risk assessment of halogenated compounds..

Halogen bonding effect is a major driving force for the dual ERα-agonist and ERβ-antagonist activities, Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry, 10.1016/j.bmc.2019.115274, 28, 3, 2020.02, [URL], 17β-Estradiol (E2) is a natural steroid ligand for the structurally and physiologically independent estrogen receptors (ERs) ERα and ERβ. We recently observed that CF3-containing bisphenol AF (BPAF) works as an agonist for ERα but as an antagonist for ERβ. Similar results were also observed for the CCl3-containing bisphenol designated as HPTE. Both BPAF and HPTE are comprised of a tri-halogenated methyl group in the central alkyl moiety of their bisphenol structures, which strongly suggests that halogens contribute directly to the agonist/antagonist dual biological functions. We conducted this study to investigate the structure-activity relationships by assessing together newly synthesized CF3- and CBr3-containing bisphenol E analogs (BPE-X). We first tested bisphenols for their receptor binding ability and then for their transcriptional activities. Halogen-containing bisphenols were found to be fully active for ERα, but almost completely inactive for ERβ. When we examined these bisphenols for their inhibitory activities for E2 in ERβ, we observed that they worked as distinct antagonists. The ascending order of agonist/antagonist dual biological functions was BPE-F

Although the importance of receptor-binding evaluation for human NRs is often stressed, the binding characteristics of so-called next-generation (NextGen) bisphenol compounds are still poorly understood. The ultimate objective of this investigation was to evaluate BPA and its NextGen analogs for their abilities to bind to 21 human NRs, the greatest members of NRs for which tritium-labeled specific ligands were available. After establishing the detailed assay conditions for each NR, the receptor binding affinities of total 11 bisphenols were evaluated in competitive binding assays. The results clearly revealed that BPA and the NextGen bisphenols of BPAF, BPAP, BPB, BPC, BPE, and BPZ were highly potent against one or more of NRs such as CAR, ERα, ERβ, ERRγ, and GR, with IC50 values of 3.3–73 nM. These bisphenols were suggested strongly to be disruptive to these NRs. BPM and BPP also appeared to be disruptive, but less potently. BPF exhibited only weak effects and only against estrogen-related NRs. Surprisingly, most doubtful bisphenol BPS was supposed not to be disruptive. The NRs to which BPA and NextGen bisphenols did not bind were RARα, RARβ, RARγ, and VDR. PPARγ, RORα, RORβ, RORγ, RXRα, RXRβ, and RXRγ, exhibited very weak interaction with these bisphenols. The ten remaining NRs, namely, ERRγ, ERβ, ERα, CAR, GR, PXR, PR, AR, LXRβ, and LXRα, showed distinctly strong binding to some bisphenols in this order, being likely to have consequential endocrine-disruption effects..

strong self-aggregation properties of cyclo[FPGVG]n, consisting only of natural amino acids, Biomacromolecules, 10.1021/acs.biomac.8b00353, 19, 8, 3201-3211, 2018.06, [URL], Elastin-like peptides (ELP) consist of distinctive repetitive sequences, such as (VPGVG)n, exhibit temperature-dependent reversible self-assembly (coacervation), and have been considered to be useful for the development of thermo-responsive materials. Further fundamental studies evaluating coacervative properties of novel nonlinear ELPs could present design concepts for new thermo-responsive materials. In this study, we prepared novel ELPs, cyclic (FPGVG)n (cyclo[FPGVG]n, n = 1-5), and analyzed its self-assembly properties and structural characteristics. Cyclo[FPGVG]n (n = 3-5) demonstrated stronger coacervation capacity than the corresponding linear peptides. The coacervate of cyclo[FPGVG]5 was able to retain water-soluble dye molecules at 40°C, which implied that cyclo[FPGVG]5 could be employed as a base material of DDS (Drug Delivery System) matrices and other biomaterials. The results of molecular dynamics simulations and circular dichroism measurements suggested that a certain chain length was required for cyclo[FPGVG]n to demonstrate alterations in molecular structure that were critical to the exhibition of coacervation..

In this study, we prepared cyclic (FPGVG)n (n=1-5) analogs and investigated their coacervation and structural properties to assess their potential for use as a biomaterial. We found that the cyclic (FPGVG)n (n=3-5) analogs exhibited high coacervation ability. The results from the molecular dynamics simulation suggest that turn structures were important for coacervation of elastin-derived cyclic peptide analogs..

To elucidate the underlying coacervation mechanisms, we measured the fluorescence of (C(WPGVG)3)2 by using 1,8-ANS as a fluorescent probe. The results revealed that the peptide forms microaggregates at temperature and concentration lower than those at which visible coacervation occurs. These findings suggest that microaggregate formation is unrelated to the maturation of the coacervate drop, which is temperature-dependent..

, Peptide Science 2013, 277-278, 2014.03, Elastin is the core protein of elastic fibers in the elastic tissues, such as arterial walls, lungs, and skin, and plays an essential role in tissue biomechanics, providing the extensibility and condensability. Elastin shows self-association, which is referred as coacervation, under physiological conditions. Coacervation property of elastin characterized by reversible association/dissociation phenomena is considered to be important for its elasticity. Tropoelastin, the precursor protein of elastin, contains characteristic repetitive sequences in its hydrophobic regions. The pentapeptide sequence, Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly (VPGVG), is one of the repeating sequences, and presents in almost all mammal species analyzed so far. To clarify the mechanism of elastin’s elasticity, many studies about coacervation properties of elastin-derived peptide-analogs have been conducted. Many previous studies reported that large molecular size was needed for coacervation of elastin-derived peptides. For instance, (VPGVG)n demonstrated the coacervation property only when they had large numbers of repetition (n>40). Recently, we developed the synthetic hydrophobic oligomers (IPGVG)n and (FPGVG)n, and reported that they demonstrate coacervation at significantly smaller repetition numbers (n=5~7). Because of their low molecular size, these analogs are expected to be useful as model peptides for structure analysis and base materials for developing various biomedical products, skin substitutes, synthetic vascular grafts, and drug delivery systems.
In this study, to obtain more short coacervatable peptides, we synthesized dimers of pentapeptide (FPGVG)5 and investigated their coacervation property and secondary structures. To produce dimer peptides, cysteine-conjugated pentapeptide Cys-(FPGVG)5 and (FPGVG)5-Cys were synthesized by the solid-phase method using Fmoc strategy. By aerobic oxidation reaction of each Cys-peptide, homodimers, linked by disulfide bond, were obtained. Synthesized peptides were purified by HPLC and analyzed by MALDI-TOF- MS. The dimer peptides clearly showed coacervation around 15˚C in the condition at 10 mg/ml, whereas (FPGVG)5 required rather higher temperature and at least 20 mg/ml of peptide to demonstrate coacervation. These results indicated that the dimerization of elastin-derived peptide-analogs significantly enhanced the coacervation ability of (FPGVG)5. Furthermore, these dimer peptides showed reversible temperature-dependent conformation change in CD measurement..

9. 巣山 慶太郎, 清水真凜, 前田衣織, 野瀬 健, The effect of sequential modification of elastin-derived (FPGVG)n peptide analogs on self-assembly properties, 第100回日本化学会年会, 2020.03, Elastin-like peptides (ELPs), which consist of distinct repetitive sequences of elastin, exhibit temperature-dependent reversible self-assembly (coacervation) under physiological conditions. Due to this characteristic property, ELPs have been considered useful for the development of thermoresponsive biomaterials. Among ELPs, the pentapeptide sequence Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly (VPGVG) is the representative motif that exhibits coacervation. By mimicking this repetitive pentapeptide sequence, we have developed an elastin-derived short synthetic peptide, (FPGVG)n, that demonstrates stronger coacervation than (VPGVG)n. Although this peptide is potentially useful for developing stimuli-responsive biomaterials, the effects of sequential modification of ELPs on their coacervation activity are still unclear. In this study, (FPGVG)n-based peptide analogs whose phenylalanine residues were substituted with other amino acids were synthesized, and their coacervation properties were analyzed to elucidate the effect of the sequence on the self-association property.
The elastin-derived peptide (FPGVG)5 (F5) and F5-derived peptide analogs were successfully synthesized by the Fmoc solid phase method. Subsequently, the temperature-dependent coacervation properties of the synthetic peptides were evaluated by turbidity measurement. As a result, F5-analogs that contain aromatic amino acids (Tyr or Trp) as a substituent exhibited strong coacervation activity. When one of the Phe residues of F5 were substituted by a non-aromatic amino acid, the coacervation activity of the peptide significantly decreased, even if the replacement was a hydrophobic aliphatic amino acid. It was suggested that the coacervation activity of short ELPs is not simply determined by the hydrophobicity of the peptide and that interaction via aromatic amino acid residues was important for the coacervation activity of the peptides. It was also revealed that the coacervation activity of F5 was drastically affected by the substitution of a single amino acid residue.

Previously, we revealed that simply dimerized and cyclized short ELP analogs show stronger coacervation activity than monomeric and linear counterpart of them, respectively. In this study, we investigated concentration dependency of the transition temperature of nonlinear short ELPs to estimate their coacervation activity. It was revealed that the transition temperature of nonlinear ELPs could be described as the logarithmic function of peptide concentration. In addition, by using this quantitative relationship, it was able to compare and estimate the coacervation activity of artificial ELPs with different water solubility..
11. 巣山 慶太郎, 宮崎真佐也, 前田衣織, 野瀬 健, エラスチン由来ペプチド(FPGVG)5のフェニルアラニン一残基置換の自己集合能への影響, 第92回日本生化学会大会大会, 2019.09, 弾性タンパク質エラスチンは、温度を上げると会合し下げると再び解離するという可逆的な自己集合(コアセルベーション)を示す。エラスチンは疎水性ドメインにVal-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly (VPGVG)のような特徴的な繰り返し配列を持ち、この繰り返し配列がコアセルベーションに重要であることが報告されている。また、この繰り返し配列を模倣したエラスチン由来ペプチド(Elastin-like Peptides; ELP)も同様に自己集合能を示すことから、人工血管や薬物送達システム等の基材として応用が可能なバイオマテリアル用の素材としての応用が期待されている。しかし、これらのペプチドがコアセルベーションを示す際の詳細な構造や機能、および配列に含まれる各アミノ酸残基の役割には不明な点が多く、分子素材としてELPを合理的にデザインするために、自己集合機構の解明が求められている。
代表的なELPである(VPGVG)n繰り返し配列ペプチドが自己集合を示すためには、200アミノ酸残基以上(配列繰り返し回数n>40)からなるポリペプチドが必要である。当研究室の先行研究では、繰り返し配列の先頭のVal残基をより疎水性の高いフェニルアラニン(Phe)に置換した合成ペプチド(FPGVG)nが25残基程度(n=5)の小分子でコアセルベーションを示すことを報告した。このことから、ELPがコアセルベーションを示すためには、ペプチドを構成する残基の疎水性が大きく関与していると考えられた。ところが、これの検証研究において、(FPGVG)5の中の1つの繰り返し配列における1個のPheを側鎖にヒドロキシ基を有するチロシン(Tyr)に置換したところ、親水性官能基が導入されたにも関わらずコアセルベーション能が高くなることが判明した。加えて、Tyrの置換位置の違いによってもコアセルベーション能が変化した。一方、Tyrと同様に側鎖にヒドロキシ基を有するセリン(Ser)でPheを置換すると、置換する位置に関わらず自己集合能が著しく低下した。これらの結果から、ELPの自己集合能は単純にアミノ酸の疎水性および親水性官能基の有無によって規定されるわけではないことが示唆された。そこで、さらにこれらの実験結果について分子構造から検証するため、分子動力学計算を用いて(FPGVG)5ならびにその一残基置換ペプチドの構造解析を行い、置換する残基の種類や位置によってペプチドの構造や分子内相互作用がどのように変化するか?について検証を行なった。.

 ハロゲン化BPAとERRγの相互作用を解析するため、まずハロゲン化BPAを化学合成し、核内受容体ERRγに対する競合結合試験を行って結合親和性を調べた。その結果、ハロゲン置換基が大きく、また置換数が多くなるほどBPAアナログの結合親和性は低くなった。続いて、BPAアナログ10種について、5種類のカラムを用いた逆相HPLCを実施し、その溶出時間からリガンドの結合における相互作用の寄与を調べた。その結果、BPAアナログとカラム担体の相互作用は、主に疎水性相互作用が重要であること、また、π電子を介した相互作用を検証したところ、BPAの芳香環の電子とカラムのアルキル基の水素によるCH-π相互作用が主であることが示唆された。これらの相互作用がBPAとERRγの相互作用においても重要であると考えられた。また、ERRγの結晶構造(PDB ID: 2E2R)を鋳型として各種ハロゲン化BPAアナログのドッキング計算を行い、結合エネルギーが最小となるリガンドの最安定構造を用いてハロゲン化BPAアナログとERRγの結合構造を解析した。その結果、ハロゲン化BPAはBPAとほぼ同じ配向でERRγに結合するが、ヨウ素一置換体のみ立体障害の影響から他のアナログと異なる結合性を示し、その結果、生理活性が変わる可能性があることが示唆された。

(FPGVG)5のN末端を蛍光標識したペプチドAbz-F5を合成して凝集特性を調べたところ、コアセルベーション能は蛍光標識していない(FPGVG)5と比較して著しく高くなった。また、Abz-F5の蛍光強度は溶液の温度上昇によって緩やかに減少し、分子が集合すると大きく減少した。分子動力学計算でAbz-F5の構造解析を行った結果、ペプチドのN末端付近の環境は温度により大きく変化しないことが示唆された。このことから、温度依存的なペプチドの蛍光変化は、主に溶液の温度上昇と自己集合による分子間相互作用の増大によって生じると考えられた。

Therefore, mapping the intracellular temperature of living cells is expected to contribute to an improved understanding of cellular events and the establishment of novel therapeutics. Previously, Uchiyama et al. demonstrated intracellular temperature mapping based on a fluorescent polymeric thermometer consisting mainly of acrylamide derivatives. Elastin-derived peptides exhibit reversible self-association (coacervation) under physiological conditions. Therefore, it was considered that these peptides might serve as useful materials for the development of such a fluorescent thermometer. Recently, we reported that the short synthetic elastin-derived peptide (FPGVG)5 demonstrates coacervation, which suggests that fluorescent-labeled (FPGVG)5 peptides, in particular, may be useful as basic materials for developing a novel fluorescent peptide-based thermometer. In the present study, we synthesized fluorescent-labeled analogs of (FPGVG)5 and investigated their coacervation property and peptide conformation..

Elastin shows coacervation (reversible association/dissociation phenomena) under physiological conditions. Tropoelastin, the precursor protein of elastin, contains characteristic repetitive sequences such as the pentapeptide sequence, Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly (VPGVG), in its hydrophobic regions. However, it was reported that large molecular size was needed for coacervation of elastin-derived peptide (VPGVG)n (numbers of repetition: n>40). Recently, we reported that synthetic hydrophobic oligomers (IPGVG)n and (FPGVG)n demonstrate coacervation at significantly smaller repetition numbers (n=5~7). Because of their low molecular size, these analogs are expected to be useful as model peptides for structure analysis and base materials for developing various biomedical products. In this study, to obtain more short coacervatable peptides, we synthesized dimers of pentapeptide (FPGVG)5 and investigated their coacervation property and secondary structures..
