Analysis of a Novel Peptide That Is Capable of Inhibiting the Enzymatic Activity of the Protein Kinase A Catalytic Subunit-Like Protein from Trypanosoma equiperdum
Tóm tắt
A 26-residue peptide possessing the αN-helix motif of the protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit-like proteins from the Trypanozoom subgenera (VAP26, sequence = VAPYFEKSEDETALILKLLTYNVLFS), was shown to inhibit the enzymatic activity of the Trypanosoma equiperdum PKA catalytic subunit-like protein, in a similar manner that the mammalian heat-stable soluble PKA inhibitor known as PKI. However, VAP26 does not contain the PKI inhibitory sequence. Bioinformatics analyzes of the αN-helix motif from various Trypanozoon PKA regulatory subunit-like proteins suggested that the sequence could form favorable peptide-protein interactions of hydrophobic nature with the PKA catalytic subunit-like protein, which possibly may represent an alternative PKA inhibitory mechanism. The sequence of the αN-helix motif of the Trypanozoon proteins was shown to be highly homologous but significantly divergent from the corresponding αN-helix motifs of their Leishmania and mammalian counterparts. This sequence divergence contrasted with the proposed secondary structure of the αN-helix motif, which appeared conserved in every analyzed regulatory subunit-like protein. In silico mutation experiments at positions I234, L238 and F244 of the αN-helix motif from the Trypanozoon proteins destabilized both the specific motif and the protein. On the contrary, mutations at positions T239 and Y240 stabilized the motif and the protein. These results suggested that the αN-helix motif from the Trypanozoon proteins probably possessed a different evolutionary path than their Leishmania and mammalian counterparts. Moreover, finding stabilizing mutations indicated that new inhibitory peptides may be designed based on the αN-helix motif from the Trypanozoon PKA regulatory subunit-like proteins.
