Anticoagulant activity of synthetic hirudin peptides.
Synthetic peptides based on the COOH-terminal 21 residues of hirudin were prepared in order to 1) evaluate the role of this segment in hirudin action toward thrombin, 2) define the shortest peptide derivative with anticoagulant activity, and 3) investigate the role of tyrosine sulfation in the peptides' inhibitory activities. A hirudin derivative of 20 amino acids, Hir45-64 (derived from residu...
متن کاملMotogenic activity of IGD-containing synthetic peptides.
Although the IGD amino acid motif (iso-gly-asp) is a highly conserved feature of the fibronectin type I module, no biological activity has as yet been ascribed to it. We have previously reported that the gelatin-binding domain of fibronectin stimulates the migration of human skin fibroblasts into native, but not denatured, type I collagen substrata. Two IGD-containing type I modules are present...
متن کاملReceptor binding and biologic activity of synthetic ET-1 peptides in the retinal pericyte.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of synthetic endothelin (ET)-1 peptides with antigenic potential for binding and biologic activity using an in vitro model of microvascular pericytes. METHODS All possible sequential hexapeptide fragments of endothelins -1, -2, and -3 were synthesized on polyethylene rods and tested for reactivity with antibodies for ET-1 and ET-3. T...
متن کاملStructural properties of small semiconductor-binding synthetic peptides.
We have performed exhaustive multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations of three 12-residue synthetic peptides in order to investigate the thermodynamic and structural properties as well as the characteristic helix-coil transitions. In these studies, we employ a realistic model where the interactions between all atoms are taken into account. Effects of solvation are also simulated by using an impli...
متن کاملActivity of synthetic peptides from the Tat protein of human
To determine which of the 86 amino acids in the Tat protein of human inmunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are important for transactivation, peptides from Tat were synthesized and their activity was measured in cells containing a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene under control of the HIV long terminal repeat promoter. Although the Tat sequence contains arginineand cysteine-rich s...
