Keitaro Suyama, Masayuki Murashima, Iori Maeda, Takeru Nose, Enhancement of Aggregate Formation Through Aromatic Compound Adsorption in Elastin-like Peptide (FPGVG)5 Analogs., Biomacromolecules, 10.1021/acs.biomac.3c00779, 24, 11, 5265-5276, 2023.11, Elastin-like peptides (ELPs) exhibit temperature-dependent reversible self-assembly. Repetitive sequences derived from elastin, such as Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly (VPGVG), are essential for the self-assembly of ELPs. Previously, we developed (FPGVG)5 (F5), in which the first valine residue in the VPGVG sequence was replaced with phenylalanine, which showed strong self-aggregation ability. This suggests that interactions through the aromatic amino acid residues of ELPs could play an important role in self-assembly. In this study, we investigated the thermoresponsive behavior of F5 analogs in the presence of aromatic compounds. Turbidimetry, spectroscopy, and fluorescence measurements demonstrated that aromatic compounds interacted with F5 analogs below the transition temperature and enhanced the self-assembly ability of ELPs by stabilizing amyloid-like structures. Furthermore, quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography analyses showed that the F5 analogs could adsorb and remove hydrophobic aromatic compounds from aqueous solutions during aggregate formation. These results suggested that the F5 analogs can be applicable as scavengers of aromatic compounds..

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..

Shogo Sumiyoshi, Keitaro Suyama, Daiki Tatsubo, Naoki Tanaka, Keisuke Tomohara, Suguru Taniguchi, Iori Maeda, Takeru Nose, Metal ion scavenging activity of elastin-like peptide analogues containing a cadmium ion binding sequence, SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 10.1038/s41598-022-05695-w, 12, 1, 2022.02, [URL], The development of simple and safe methods for recovering environmental pollutants, such as
heavy metals, is needed for sustainable environmental management. 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..

Suyama Keitaro, Mawatari Mika, Tatsubo, Daiki, Maeda Iori, Nose Takeru, Simple Regulation of the Self-Assembling Ability by Multimerization of Elastin-Derived Peptide (FPGVG)n Using Nitrilotriacetic Acid as a Building Block, ACS Omega, 10.1021/acsomega.0c06140, 6, 8, 5705-5716, 2021.02, Elastin comprises hydrophobic repetitive sequences, such as Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly, which are thought to be important for the temperature-dependent reversible self-association (coacervation). Elastin and elastin-like peptides (ELPs), owing to their characteristics, are expected to be applied as base materials for the development of new molecular tools, such as drug-delivery system carrier and metal-scavenging agents. Recently, several studies have been reported on the dendritic or branching ELP analogues. Although the topological difference of the branched ELPs compared to their linear counterparts may lead to useful properties in biomaterials, the available information regarding the effect of branching on molecular architecture and thermoresponsive behavior of ELPs is scarce. To obtain further insight into the thermoresponsive behavior of branched ELPs, novel ELPs, such as nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-(FPGVG) n conjugates, that is, (NTA)-Fn analogues possessing 1-3 (FPGVG) n (n = 3, 5) molecule(s), were synthesized and investigated for their coacervation ability. Turbidity measurement of the synthesized peptide analogues revealed that (NTA)-Fn analogues showed strong coacervation ability with various strengths. The transition temperature of NTA-Fn analogues exponentially decreased with increasing number of residues. In the circular dichroism measurements, trimerization did not alter the secondary structure of each peptide chain of the NTA-Fn analogue. In addition, it was also revealed that the NTA-Fn analogue possesses one peptide chain that could be utilized as metal-scavenging agents. The study findings indicated that multimerization of short ELPs via NTA is a useful and powerful strategy to obtain thermoresponsive molecules..

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..

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..

Compared to the native elastin-derived repeating peptide sequence ((Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)10), one of the Phecontaining 5-mer repeating peptide sequences ((Phe-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)5) clearly exhibited stronger coacervation properties. The coacervation of (Phe-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)5 is nearly the same as that of polypeptides (Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)n (n > 40). Although large molecular weights (>10,000 Da) are generally required for the coacervation of elastin-derived peptides, (Phe-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)5 exhibited reversible coacervation properties despite its low molecular weight (MW = 2,305 Da). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and circular dichroism (CD) analysis revealed that (Phe-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)5 has high hydrophobicity and an ordered structure with a type II β-turn, which contributes to the strong coacervation ability of the peptide. In addition, (Phe-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly)5 exhibited an effective particle size distribution (60–70 nm) at body temperature (37°C) and a dispersed small particle size similar to that of the monomer peptides at low temperatures. These properties, along with its small size and simple design, render the peptide suitable for use in biomaterials, including drug-delivery carriers..

In comparison with the known elastin-derived peptideanalogs, which were so-called polypeptides, the obtained 35 to 50 mer peptides, (IPGVG)n (n=7–10) were significantly low molecular sized-polypeptides. However, they clearly exhibited coacervation property as same as the polypeptides did. Because of their low molecular size, spectrographic analyses of (IPGVG)n (n=7–10) became feasible to carry out. As results of secondary structural analyses by CD and FT-IR, it was found that the coacervation property of the peptides is clearly attributed to the ordered secondary-structures, mainly, type II β–turn..
