The development of an entirely solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)-based synthesis of the quorum sensing signal gelatinase biosynthesis-activating pheromone (GBAP) from Enterococcus faecalis is reported. The method was used to prepare three libraries of analogues to investigate the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of the GBAP signal. The SAR studies revealed new characteristics of the GBAP signal and uncovered the most potent quorum sensing activator in E. faecalis known to date.
本文报道了一种基于全固相肽合成(SPPS)的粪肠球菌群体感应信号明胶酶生物合成激活肽(GBAP)合成方法。该方法用于制备三种类似物文库,以研究 GBAP 信号的结构-活性关系(SAR)。SAR 研究揭示了 GBAP 信号的新特征,并发现了迄今为止在粪肠球菌中已知的最有效的群体感应激活剂。
