In this paper, we report the semisynthesis of B27 Lys destripeptide insulin (B27 Lys DTrI), i.e. destetrapeptide insulin with an additional Lys residue at the C-terminus of B-chain. B27 Lys DTrI is also monomeric as shown by gel filtration. Its in vivo biological activity is 80% in comparison with that of native insulin. The addition of a Lys residue at the C-terminus of B-chain makes it possible to obtain monomeric B27 Lys DTrI from a precursor expressed in Saccharomyces cerevesiae by tryptic hydrolysis instead of the less efficient tryptic transpeptidation.
在本文中,我们报道了B27赖氨酸去条带肽胰岛素(B27 Lys DTrI)的半合成,即B链C端带有一个额外赖氨酸残基的去四肽胰岛素。凝胶过滤显示B27 Lys DTrI也是单体。与天然胰岛素相比,其体内生物活性为80%。在B链C端添加一个赖氨酸残基,使得通过胰蛋白酶水解从酿酒酵母中表达的前体获得单体B27 Lys DTrI成为可能,而不是效率较低的胰蛋白酶转肽作用。
