A click-chemistry-based approach was implemented to prepare peptidomimetics designed in silico and made from aromatic azides and a propargylated GIGI-mimicking platform derived from the altered Melan-A/MART-1 antigenic peptide ELAGIGILTV. The Cu -catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition was carried out on solid support to generate rapidly a first series of peptidomimetics, which were evaluated for their capacity to dock at the interface between the major histocompatibility complex class-I (MHC-I) human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-A2 and T-cell receptors (TCRs). Despite being a weak HLA-A2 ligand, one of these 11 first synthetic compounds bearing a p-nitrobenzyl-triazole side chain was recognized by the receptor proteins of Melan-A/MART-1-specific T-cells. After modification of the N and C termini of this agonist, which was intended to enhance HLA-A2 binding, one of the resulting seven additional compounds triggered significant T-cell responses. Thus, these results highlight the capacity of naturally circulating human TCRs that are specific for the native Melan-A/MART-1 peptide to cross-react with peptidomimetics bearing organic motifs structurally different from the native central amino acids.
采用基于点击化学的方法制备计算机设计的拟肽,其由芳香叠氮化物和源自改变的黑色素瘤抗原A/MART-1抗原肽ELAGIGILTV的炔丙基化GIGI模拟平台制成。在固相载体上进行铜催化的惠斯根环加成反应,快速生成第一系列拟肽,并对其在主要组织相容性复合体I类(MHC-I)人类白细胞抗原(HLA)-A2与T细胞受体(TCR)之间界面处的对接能力进行评估。尽管这11种首批合成化合物之一是一种较弱的HLA-A2配体,但带有对硝基苄基三唑侧链的其中一种化合物被黑色素瘤抗原A/MART-1特异性T细胞的受体蛋白识别。在对该激动剂的N端和C端进行修饰以增强HLA-A2结合后,所得到的另外7种化合物之一引发了显著的T细胞反应。因此,这些结果突出了天然循环的、对天然黑色素瘤抗原A/MART-1肽具有特异性的人类TCR与带有结构上不同于天然中心氨基酸的有机基序的拟肽发生交叉反应的能力。
