Abstract

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are small peptides capable of translocating through biological membranes carrying various attached cargo into cells and even into the nucleus. They may also participate in transcellular transport. Our in silico study intends to model several peptides and their conjugates. We have selected three CPPs with a linear backbone, including penetratin, a naturally occurring oligopeptide; two of its modified sequence analogues (6,14-Phe-penetratin and dodeca-penetratin); and three natural CPPs with a cyclic backbone: Kalata B1, the Sunflower trypsin inhibitor 1 (SFT1), and Momordica cochinchinensis trypsin inhibitor II (MCoTI-II). We have also built conjugates with the small-molecule drug compounds doxorubicin, zidovudine, and rasagiline for each peptide. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out with explicit membrane models. The analysis of the trajectories showed that the interaction of penetratin with the membrane led to spectacular rearrangements in the secondary structure of the peptide, while cyclic peptides remained unchanged due to their high conformational stability. Membrane-peptide and membrane-conjugate interactions have been identified and compared. Taking into account well-known examples from the literature, our simulations demonstrated the utility of computational methods for CPP complexes, and they may contribute to a better understanding of the mechanism of penetration, which could serve as the basis for delivering conjugated drug molecules to their intracellular targets.

摘要

细胞穿透肽(CPPs)是一类小肽,能够携带各种附着的货物穿过生物膜进入细胞甚至细胞核。它们也可能参与跨细胞运输。我们的计算机模拟研究旨在对几种肽及其缀合物进行建模。我们选择了三种具有线性主链的CPPs,包括穿膜肽(penetratin),一种天然存在的寡肽;它的两种修饰序列类似物(6,14-苯丙氨酸-穿膜肽和十二肽-穿膜肽);以及三种具有环状主链的天然CPPs:卡拉塔B1(Kalata B1)、向日葵胰蛋白酶抑制剂1(SFT1)和罗汉果胰蛋白酶抑制剂II(MCoTI-II)。我们还为每种肽构建了与小分子药物化合物阿霉素、齐多夫定和雷沙吉兰的缀合物。利用明确的膜模型进行了分子动力学(MD)模拟。轨迹分析表明,穿膜肽与膜的相互作用导致肽的二级结构发生显著重排,而环状肽由于其高构象稳定性保持不变。已识别并比较了膜-肽和膜-缀合物的相互作用。考虑到文献中的知名例子,我们的模拟证明了计算方法对CPP复合物的实用性,它们可能有助于更好地理解穿透机制,这可为将缀合药物分子递送至其细胞内靶点奠定基础。
