Two peptide derivatives of arginylfluoromethane (Arg-CH2F), namely Bz(benzoyl)-Phe-ArgCH2F and D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2F, have been synthesized by extension of available methods, i.e. the Dakin-West reaction [Rasnick (1985) Anal. Biochem. 149, 461-465] or synthesis of a phthaloyl-blocked C-terminal fluoromethane [Rauber, Angliker, Walker & Shaw (1986) Biochem. J. 239, 633-640; Angliker, Wikström, Rauber & Shaw (1987) Biochem. J. 241, 871-875] with subsequent elongation. The guanidino group of arginine was protected as the bis-Cbz (benzyloxycarbonyl) derivative. The products were examined as active-site-directed inhibitors of some trypsin-related serine proteinases as well as a pair of cysteine proteinases. The results extend previous observations that the rate of alkylation of serine proteinases by fluoromethanes may be considerably slower than by chloromethanes. As expected, the amino acid sequence of the inhibitors influenced their relative effectiveness. Thus the rate of inactivation of a number of trypsin-like proteinases by D-Phe-Pro-Arg-CH2F varied by more than two orders of magnitude.

SummaryA quantitative model of venous thrombosis in the beagle dog is described. The model was adapted to permit ageing of isolated experimental clots in vivo. A model of acute pulmonary embolism in this species is also described. In the venous thrombosis model, infusion of streptokinase (SK) or SK-activated human plasmin gave significant lysis but bolus doses of SK. plasmin complex were ineffective. Active site anisoylated derivatives of SK. plasminogen complex, SK-activated plasmin and activator-free plasmin were all active when given as bolus doses in both models. At lytic doses, the acyl-enzymes caused fewer side-effects attributable to plasminaemia than the corresponding unmodified enzymes.

Derivatives Of

A number of N-nitroso-2-chloroethyl-carbamoyl (Q(NO)) derivatives of α-melanotropin fragments have been synthesized and their effect on the frog skin melanocytes studied. Peptides substituted in this way possess the biological activity of the parent compounds, indicating that they preserved their receptor recognizing ability. These compounds can therefore serve as affinity labels. Some of these derivatives, related to the C-terminal sequence of α-melanotropin show prolonged darkening reaction, which does not influence the subsequent reaction of melanocytes with α-melanotropin. The Q(NO)-derivative of a fragment derived from the classical active site of the hormone shows, however, inhibition of the effect of α-melanotropin. It can be concluded that the latter peptide acts through the melanotropin receptor, while others, related to the C-terminal sequence of the hormone through another mechanism.

A series of dipeptide derivatives of Rhodamine, each containing an arginine residue in the P1 position and one of ten representative benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-blocked amino acids in the P2 position, has been synthesized, purified and characterized as substrates for serine proteinases. These substrates are easily prepared with high yields. Cleavage of a single amide bond converts the non-fluorescent bisamide substrate into a highly fluorescent monoamide product. Macroscopic kinetic constants for the interaction of these substrates with bovine trypsin, human and dog plasmin, and human thrombin are reported. Certain of these substrates exhibit extremely large specificity constants. For example, the kcat./Km for bovine trypsin with bis-(N-benzyloxycarbonylglycyl-argininamido)-Rhodamine [(Cbz-Gly-Arg-NH)2-Rhodamine] is 1 670 000 M-1 X S-1. Certain of these substrates are also highly selective. For example, the most specific substrate for human plasmin, (Cbz-Phe-Arg-NH2)-Rhodamine, is not hydrolysed by human thrombin, and the most specific substrate for human thrombin, (Cbz-Pro-Arg-NH)2-Rhodamine, is one of the least specific substrates for human plasmin. Comparison of the kinetic constants for hydrolysis of the dipeptide substrates with that of the single amino acid derivative, (Cbz-Arg-NH)2-Rhodamine, indicates that selection of the proper amino acid residue in the P2 position can effect large increases in substrate specificity. This occurs primarily as a result of an increase in kcat. as opposed to a decrease in Km and, in certain cases, is accompanied by a large increase in selectivity. Because of their high degree of sensitivity and selectivity, these Rhodamine-based dipeptide compounds should be extremely useful substrates for studying serine proteinases.

The site-specific recombinases Flp and R from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, respectively, are related proteins that belong to the yeast family of site-specific recombinases. They share approximately 30% amino acid matches and exhibit a common reaction mechanism that appears to be conserved within the larger integrase family of site-specific recombinases. Two regions of the proteins, designated box I and box II, also harbor a significantly high degree of homology at the nucleotide sequence level. We have analyzed the properties of Flp and R variants carrying point mutations within the box I segment in substrate-binding, DNA cleavage, and full-site and half-site strand transfer reactions. All mutations abolish or seriously diminish recombinase function either at the substrate-binding step or at the catalytic steps of strand cleavage or strand transfer. Of particular interest are mutations of Arg-191 of Flp and R, residues which correspond to one of the two invariant arginine residues of the integrase family. These variant proteins bind substrate with affinities comparable to those of the corresponding wild-type recombinases. Among the binding-competent variants, only Flp(R191K) is capable of efficient substrate cleavage in a full recombination target. However, this protein does not cleave a half recombination site and fails to complete strand exchange in a full site. Strikingly, the Arg-191 mutants of Flp and R can be rescued in half-site strand transfer reactions by a second point mutant of the corresponding recombinase that lacks its active-site tyrosine (Tyr-343). Similarly, Flp and R variants of Cys-189 and Flp variants at Asp-194 and Asp-199 can also be complemented by the corresponding Tyr-343-to-phenylalanine recombinase mutant.

Active site-directed inactivation of a serine protease with a thioester derivative of a peptide-chloromethyl ketone followed by reaction of the unique thiol group generatedin the presence of hydroxylamine with a fluorophore-iodoacetamide hasbeen investigated as a new method for covalent incorporation of extrinsic fluorescence probes into the active sites of blood coagulation proteases. The specificity of labeling by this method was evaluated by quantitation of the reactions between human thrombin, acetylthioacetyl-D-Phe-Pro-ArgCH2Cl (ATA-FPRCK) and 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein(IAF).ATA-FPRCK was synthesized by reaction of FPRCK with succinimidylacetylthioacetate and purified by chromatography on SP-Sephadex and Sephadex G10. Titrations of the loss of thrombin chromogenic substrate activity with ATA-FPRCK were linear, with end points of 1.1-1.2 mol ATA-FPRCK added/mol active sites, consistent with a reaction stoichiometry of 1 and the ∽90% purity of the compound estimated by reverse-phase HPLC.Inactivation of thrombin wasquantitatively correlated with incorporation of the thioester, with a maximum of 1.04 mol/mol active sites.IAF labeling of ATA-FPR-thrombin inthe presence of 0.1M NH20H yielded a maximu of 0.96 mol IAF incorporated/mol active sites in a reaction accompanied by loss of the thiol group. Incorporation of ATA-FPRCK wasdependent on thefunctional thrombin active site, asdemonstrated by less than 4%thioester or IAF incorporation for the enzyme previously inactivated with FPRCK. I conclude that active site-selective fluorescence labelingcan be achieved by the method described here with the advantage of a wide choice in the properties of theprobe incorporated. In addition, a 2.3-fold difference in fluorescenceintensity was observed for 2,6-ANS derivatives of ATA-FPR-thrombin andATA-D-Phe-Phe-Arg-thrombin, indicating that the spectral properties ofenvironmentally sensitive fluorescence probes are influenced by the structure of the peptide inhibitor.Supported in part by a grant from the American National Red Cross.

Strong Binding

Bis-anilinonaphthalenesulfonate(bis-ANS) binds extremely strongly to the human thrombins accompanied by a much enhanced fluorescence for the dye. One unique feature of bis-ANS binding is an enhancement of TAME hydrolysis by α-thrombin to approximately 175% times the rate for native α-thrombin at pH 8.1 (0 M NaCl). Non-coagulant γ-thrombin is distinguished from highly coagulant α-thrombin by enhancing bis-ANS fluorescence ∼2 times more than that by the latter form. The very strong binding of this dye Kdiss<10-8 M, pH 6.5, 0.05 M Phosphate, 0.75 M NaCl) as welras its apparent binding loci situated near, but not obstructing, the catalytic center displays the powerfully useful properties of this probe, extremely sensitive to thrombin environment while not inhibiting its action. This is to be compared with the active site specific fluorophore inhibitor DAPA which prevents binding of other ligands to the thrombin active site.
