1. Does the importance of the C-terminal residues in the maturation of RgpB from Porphyromonas gingivalis reveal a novel mechanism for protein export in a subgroup of Gram-Negative bacteria?
Ky-Anh Nguyen, James Travis, Jan Potempa J Bacteriol. 2007 Feb;189(3):833-43. doi: 10.1128/JB.01530-06. Epub 2006 Dec 1.
The mature 507-residue RgpB protein belongs to an important class of extracellular outer membrane-associated proteases, the gingipains, from the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis that has been shown to play a central role in the virulence of the organism. The C termini of these gingipains along with other outer membrane proteins from the organism share homologous sequences and have been suggested to function in attachment of these proteins to the outer membrane. In this report, we have created a series of truncated and site-directed mutants of the C terminus from a representative member of this class, the RgpB protease, to investigate its role in the maturation of these proteins. Truncation of the last two residues (valyl-lysine) from the C terminus is sufficient to create an inactive version of the protein that lacks the posttranslational glycosylation seen in the wild type, and the protein remains trapped behind the outer membrane. Alanine scanning of the last five residues revealed the importance of the C-terminal motif in mediating correct posttranslational modification of the protein. This result may have a wider implication in a novel secretory pathway in distinct members of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroidetes phylum.
2. Inhibitory effect of supramolecular polyrotaxane-dipeptide conjugates on digested peptide uptake via intestinal human peptide transporter
Nobuhiko Yui, Tooru Ooya, Tomokatsu Kawashima, Yoshimasa Saito, Ikumi Tamai, Yoshimichi Sai, Akira Tsuji Bioconjug Chem. 2002 May-Jun;13(3):582-7. doi: 10.1021/bc015567z.
The effect of polyrotaxane-dipeptide (Val-Lys) conjugates on the uptake of a model dipeptide (Gly-Sar) was examined via human peptide transporter (hPEPT1) on HeLa cells. Here, Val-Lys groups are introduced to alpha-CDs, which are threaded onto a poly(ethylene oxide) chain capped with bulky end-groups (polyrotaxane). The Gly-Sar uptake via hPEPT1 was significantly inhibited in the polyrotaxane conjugates, and this inhibitory effect was not explained by the sum of interaction between hPEPT1 and alpha-CD-Val-Lys conjugates. Further, the inhibition was significantly greater than those observed in dextran-Val-Lys conjugates. Therefore, our data clearly suggests that supramolecular structure in the polyrotaxane conjugates contributes considerably to the inhibitory effect via multivalent binding of Val-Lys groups with hPEPT1.
3. Significance of substrate hydrophobicity for recognition by an oligopeptide transporter (PEPT1)
R Tateoka, H Abe, S Miyauchi, S Shuto, A Matsuda, M Kobayashi, K Miyazaki, N Kamo Bioconjug Chem. 2001 Jul-Aug;12(4):485-92. doi: 10.1021/bc000135u.
Our previous paper [(1999) Bioconjugate Chem. 10, 24-31] pointed out that hydrophobicity of substrates/inhibitors plays an important role in the recognition by an oligopeptide transporter (PEPT1) expressed in the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2. To determine the significance of that hydrophobicity, we have now synthesized dipeptide analogues conjugating the epsilon-amino group of Lys in Val-Lys with aliphatic carboxylic acids: acetic acid (C2), propanoic acid (C3), pentanoic acid (C5), hexanoic acid (C6), and decanoic acid (C10). The affinities of these conjugates were estimated by their inhibition of the accumulation rate of Gly-Sar, a well-established substrate for PEPT1. With the increase in length of the hydrocarbon chain of the conjugates, i.e., in the hydrophobicity of the conjugates, the inhibition strengthened. Dixon-Webb plot analysis of the inhibition by the C10-conjugated dipeptide showed competitive inhibition. The trans-stimulation effect of Val-Lys conjugated to C10 or C5 on the uptake of Ceftibuten was observed using rat brush border membrane vesicles. This findings showed that these conjugates are transportable substrates. These results confirmed that the hydrophobicity of substrates/inhibitor is one of the factors in the recognition by PEPT1.
