Clustering of disulfide-rich peptides provides scaffolds for hit discovery by phage display: application to interleukin-23
2016
BMC Bioinformatics
Disulfide-rich peptides (DRPs) are found throughout nature. They are suitable scaffolds for drug development due to their small cores, whose disulfide bonds impart extraordinary chemical and biological stability. A challenge in developing a DRP therapeutic is to engineer binding to a specific target. This challenge can be overcome by (i) sampling the large sequence space of a given scaffold through a phage display library and by (ii) panning multiple libraries encoding structurally distinct

... folds. Here, we implement a protocol for defining these diverse scaffolds, based on clustering structurally defined DRPs according to their conformational similarity. Results: We developed and applied a hierarchical clustering protocol based on DRP structural similarity, followed by two post-processing steps, to classify 806 unique DRP structures into 81 clusters. The 20 most populated clusters comprised 85% of all DRPs. Representative scaffolds were selected from each of these clusters; the representatives were structurally distinct from one another, but similar to other DRPs in their respective clusters. To demonstrate the utility of the clusters, phage libraries were constructed for three of the representative scaffolds and panned against interleukin-23. One library produced a peptide that bound to this target with an IC 50 of 3.3 μM. Conclusions: Most DRP clusters contained members that were diverse in sequence, host organism, and interacting proteins, indicating that cluster members were functionally diverse despite having similar structure. Only 20 peptide scaffolds accounted for most of the natural DRP structural diversity, providing suitable starting points for seeding phage display experiments. Through selection of the scaffold surface to vary in phage display, libraries can be designed that present sequence diversity in architecturally distinct, biologically relevant combinations of secondary structures. We supported this hypothesis with a proof-of-concept experiment in which three phage libraries were constructed and panned against the IL-23 target, resulting in a single-digit μM hit and suggesting that a collection of libraries based on the full set of 20 scaffolds increases the potential to identify efficiently peptide binders to a protein target in a drug discovery program.

Global Sequencing of Proteolytic Cleavage Sites in Apoptosis by Specific Labeling of Protein N Termini
2008
Cell
The nearly 600 proteases in the human genome regulate a diversity of biological processes, including programmed cell death. Comprehensive characterization of protease signaling in complex biological samples is limited by available proteomic methods. We have developed a general approach for global identification of proteolytic cleavage sites using an engineered enzyme to selectively biotinylate free protein N termini for positive enrichment of corresponding N-terminal peptides. Using this method

... to study apoptosis, we have sequenced 333 caspase-like cleavage sites distributed among 292 protein substrates. These sites are generally not predicted by in vitro caspase substrate specificity but can be used to predict other physiological caspase cleavage sites. Structural bioinformatic studies show that caspase cleavage sites often appear in surfaceaccessible loops and even occasionally in helical regions. Strikingly, we also find that a disproportionate number of caspase substrates physically interact, suggesting that these dimeric proteases target protein complexes and networks to elicit apoptosis.

Defining the Substrate Envelope of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease to Predict and Avoid Drug Resistance
[article]

AbstractCoronaviruses, as exemplified by SARS-CoV-2, can evolve and spread rapidly to cause severe disease morbidity and mortality. Direct acting antivirals (DAAs) are highly effective in decreasing disease burden especially when they target essential viral enzymes, such as proteases and polymerases, as demonstrated in HIV-1 and HCV and most recently SARS-CoV-2. Optimization of these DAAs through iterative structure-based drug design has been shown to be critical. Particularly, the

... y conserved molecular mechanisms underlying viral replication can be leveraged to develop robust antivirals against rapidly evolving viral targets. The main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2, which is evolutionarily constrained to recognize and cleave 11 specific sites to promote viral maturation, exemplifies one such target. In this study we define the substrate envelope of Mpro by determining the molecular basis of substrate recognition, through nine high-resolution cocrystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro with the viral cleavage sites. These structures enable identification of evolutionarily vulnerable sites beyond the substrate envelope that may be susceptible to drug resistance and compromise binding of the newly developed Mpro inhibitors.

The monobactam LYS228: mode of action and mechanisms decreasing in vitro susceptibility of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae
2018
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
The monobactam scaffold is attractive for the development of new agents to treat infections caused by drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria since it is stable to metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). However, the clinically used monobactam aztreonam lacks stability to serine β-lactamases (SBLs) that are often co-expressed with MBLs. LYS228 is stable to MBLs and most SBLs. LYS228 bound purified Escherichia coli penicillin binding protein 3 (PBP3) similarly to aztreonam (k2/Kd = 367504 s-1M-1 and 409229

... 1M-1, respectively) according to stopped-flow fluorimetry. A gel-based assay showed that LYS228 bound mainly to E. coli PBP3, with weaker binding to PBP1a and PBP1b. Exposing E. coli cells to LYS228 caused filamentation, consistent with impaired cell division. No single-step mutants were selected from twelve Enterobacteriaceae strains expressing different classes of β-lactamases at 8X the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of LYS228 (frequency <2.5x10-9). At 4X the MIC, mutants were selected from two of twelve strains at frequencies of 1.8x10-7 and 4.2x10-9. LYS228 MICs were ≤ 2 μg/mL against all mutants. These frequencies compared favorably to those for meropenem and tigecycline. Mutations decreasing LYS228 susceptibility occurred in ramR and cpxA (Klebsiella pneumoniae) and baeS (E. coli and K. pneumoniae). Susceptibility of E. coli ATCC 25922 to LYS228 decreased 256-fold (MIC 0.125 to 32 μg/mL) after 20 serial passages. Mutants accumulated mutations in ftsI (encoding the target, PBP3), baeR, acrD, envZ, sucB and rfaI. These results support the continued development of LYS228, which is currently undergoing Phase II clinical trials for complicated intraabdominal infection and complicated urinary tract infection (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03377426; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03354754).
