Using ion channel-forming peptides to quantify protein-ligand interactions.
This paper proposes a method for sensing affinity interactions by triggering disruption of self-assembly of ion channel-forming peptides in planar lipid bilayers. It shows that the binding of a derivative of alamethicin carrying a covalently attached sulfonamide ligand to carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) resulted in the inhibition of ion channel conductance through the bilayer. We propose that the...
متن کاملCreation of H-2 class I epitopes using synthetic peptides: recognition by alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
A major role that cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play in the immune response is the specific destruction of viral-infected cells and tissue from foreign grafts. Class I molecules encoded within the major histocompatibility complex are the target structures for these CTLs. Recently, viral-restricted CTLs have been shown to recognize viral peptides in association with class I molecules, while sev...
متن کاملRestoration of Epithelial Sodium Channel Function by Synthetic Peptides in Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1B Mutants
The synthetically produced cyclic peptides solnatide (a.k.a. TIP or AP301) and its congener AP318, whose molecular structures mimic the lectin-like domain of human tumor necrosis factor (TNF), have been shown to activate the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in various cell- and animal-based studies. Loss-of-ENaC-function leads to a rare, life-threatening, salt-wasting syndrome, pseudohypoaldost...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of a synthetic ion channel.
A molecular dynamics simulation has been performed on a synthetic membrane-spanning ion channel, consisting of four alpha-helical peptides, each of which is composed of the amino acids leucine (L) and serine (S), with the sequence Ac-(LSLLLSL)3-CONH2. This four-helix bundle has been shown experimentally to act as a proton-conducting channel in a membrane environment. In the present simulation, ...
متن کاملEffect of crude Venom of Odonthobuthus doriae scorpion in cell culture using ion channel modulators
Scorpion venom toxicity is one of the major medical concerns from old years, due to its influence on human activities and health. From many years ago a lot of researches established to examine different aspects of venom toxicity and its effects on different organs. During these years researchers are doing more specific studies on the cytotoxicity of scorpion venom. In Iran, Odonthobuthus doriae...
