Photoactivatable analogues of α-conotoxins GI and MI and their interaction with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Это дубликат статьи: «Photoactivatable analogues of α-conotoxins GI and MI and their interaction with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor»

Two photoactivatable analogues of α-conotoxin GI with the benzoylphenylalanine residue (Bpa) substituted for His10 or Tyr11 were synthesized using the method of solid-phase peptide synthesis. In addition, α-conotoxin MI was chemically modified by placing an azidobenzoyl or a benzoylbenzoyl photo label at Nα of Gly1 or Nε of Lys10. All the photoactivatable analogues were purified by HPLC, their structures were confirmed by MALDI MS, and the label positions in their molecules were localized by MS of their trypsinolysis fragments. All the analogues interacted with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) from Torpedo californica as efficiently as the native α-conotoxins, with the differences in the inhibition constants being within one order of magnitude under the same conditions. [125I]Derivatives prepared from all the analogues retained the ability to be bound by AChR and were used in the photoinduced AChR cross-linking. All the AChR subunits were found to be cross-linked to the photoactivatable analogues, with the linking depending on both the chemical nature of label and its position in the α-conotoxin molecule.
