1. Attempts toward the synthesis of the peptaibol antiamoebin by using the 'azirine/oxazolone method'
Pia Blaser, Werner Altherr, Anthony Linden, Heinz Heimgartner Chem Biodivers. 2013 May;10(5):920-41. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.201200386.
The two segments, 1-9 and 10-16, of the peptaibol antibiotic antiamoebin I, i.e., the nonapeptide Ac-Phe-Aib-Aib-Aib-D,L-Iva-Gly-Leu-Aib-Aib-OH (15) and the heptapeptide Z-Hyp-Gln-D,L-Iva-Hyp-Aib-Pro-Pheol (34), have been prepared as mixtures of the epimers containing D,L-Iva. All α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids were introduced by the 'azirine/oxazolone method', in which amino or peptide acids are coupled with the corresponding 2H-azirin-3-amines, followed by selective hydrolysis of the terminal amide bond. The amino acids Hyp and Gln were introduced as Z-protected(4) ) (2S,4R)-4-(tert-butoxy)proline (19) and methyl N-[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]glutamine (26). Coupling of peptide segments was achieved via the 'mixed anhydride' method, the DCC/HOBt or TBTU/HOBt strategy. The crystal structure of the segment 6-9 was determined by X-ray crystallography and displayed the presence of a β-turn conformation.
2. Peptaibol antiamoebin I: spatial structure, backbone dynamics, interaction with bicelles and lipid-protein nanodiscs, and pore formation in context of barrel-stave model

Antiamoebin I (Aam-I) is a membrane-active peptaibol antibiotic isolated from fungal species belonging to the genera Cephalosporium, Emericellopsis, Gliocladium, and Stilbella. In comparison with other 16-amino acid-residue peptaibols, e.g., zervamicin IIB (Zrv-IIB), Aam-I possesses relatively weak biological and channel-forming activities. In MeOH solution, Aam-I demonstrates fast cooperative transitions between right-handed and left-handed helical conformation of the N-terminal (1-8) region. We studied Aam-I spatial structure and backbone dynamics in the membrane-mimicking environment (DMPC/DHPC bicelles)(1) ) by heteronuclear (1) H,(13) C,(15) N-NMR spectroscopy. Interaction with the bicelles stabilizes the Aam-I right-handed helical conformation retaining significant intramolecular mobility on the ms-μs time scale. Extensive ms-μs dynamics were also detected in the DPC and DHPC micelles and DOPG nanodiscs. In contrast, Zrv-IIB in the DPC micelles demonstrates appreciably lesser mobility on the μs-ms time scale. Titration with Mn(2+) and 16-doxylstearate paramagnetic probes revealed Aam-I binding to the bicelle surface with the N-terminus slightly immersed into hydrocarbon region. Fluctuations of the Aam-I helix between surface-bound and transmembrane (TM) state were observed in the nanodisc membranes formed from the short-chain (diC12 : 0) DLPC/DLPG lipids. All the obtained experimental data are in agreement with the barrel-stave model of TM pore formation, similarly to the mechanism proposed for Zrv-IIB and other peptaibols. The observed extensive intramolecular dynamics explains the relatively low activity of Aam-I.
3. Modeling the secondary structures of the peptaibols antiamoebin I and zervamicin II modified with D-amino acids and proline analogues
Tarsila G Castro, Nuno M Micaêlo, Manuel Melle-Franco J Mol Model. 2017 Oct 16;23(11):313. doi: 10.1007/s00894-017-3479-5.
Antiamoebin I (AAM-I) and zervamicin II (Zrv-IIB) are peptaibols that exert antibiotic activity through the insertion/disruption of cell membranes. In this study, we investigated how the folding of these peptaibols are affected when some of their native residues are replaced with proline analogues and asymmetrical D-α,α-dialkyl glycines (two classes of noncanonical amino acids). Systematic substitutions of native Aib, Pro, Hyp, and Iva residues were performed to elucidate the folding properties of the modified peptaibols incorporating noncanonical residues. The secondary structure of a peptaibol influences its ability to incorporate into membranes and therefore its function. Our findings reveal that native Zrv-IIB unfolds considerably in water. The presence of Iva and the noncanonical proline analogue cis-3-amino-L-proline (ALP) in both peptaibols induces helical structures. Inserting asymmetric glycines such as α-methyl-D-leucine (MDL) and α-methyl-D-phenylalanine (MDP) into the peptaibols induces folding. This preorganization in water may help to overcome the energy barrier required for peptaibol insertion into the membrane, as well as to facilitate the formation of transmembrane channels.
