KTS-disintegrins are a subfamily of short monomeric disintegrins that are potent and selective inhibitors of alpha1beta1 integrin. The amino acid sequence of the new KTS-disintegrin, viperistatin, differs from previously characterized obtustatin in three residues at position 24 (within the integrin binding loop), 38 (hydrophobic core) and 40 (C-terminal region). Noteworthy, viperistatin is about 25-fold more potent than obtustatin inhibiting the binding of this integrin to collagen IV. Synthetic peptides representing the full-length of integrin-binding loops of these disintegrins showed that the Leu24/Arg substitution appears to be partly responsible for the increased inhibitory activity of viperistatin over obtustatin.
KTS-去整合素是短单体去整合素的一个亚家族,是α1β1整合素的强效和选择性抑制剂。新的KTS-去整合素——蝰蛇抑制素的氨基酸序列,在第24位(整合素结合环内)、38位(疏水核心)和40位(C端区域)的三个残基上与先前鉴定的钝吻抑制素不同。值得注意的是,蝰蛇抑制素在抑制该整合素与IV型胶原结合方面的效力比钝吻抑制素高约25倍。代表这些去整合素整合素结合环全长的合成肽表明,Leu24/Arg取代似乎部分导致了蝰蛇抑制素比钝吻抑制素抑制活性增加。
