| Research Abstract |
1) Preparation of hybrid peptide library ; Two amino acid analogs, in which Galα1-OH or Galβ1-OH present in Gb3 (Galα1-4 Galβ1-4 Glvα1-ceramide, receptor for verotoxin) bind to the OH-group of Ser, were prepared by Oglicoside-condensation reaction. Hybrid-peptide library was synthesized by using one of the above synthetic amino acid analogs.
2) Determination of a high affinity binding motif for verotoxin by using hybrid-peptide library ; At first, in order to see whether a high affinity binding motif for immobilized enzyme could be determined by using peptide library technique, ZAP-70, a Tyr kinase, was used. We found that a high affinity and highly selective binding motif for ZAP-70 could be determined by this technique (ref. 1). We prepared glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fused verotoxin affinity column, and performed screening of high affinity binding motif for verotoxin by using hybrid-peptide library. We found that acidic amino acid Glu was selected at positions +3 and +4, and Val was selected at position +1 (position 0 corresponds to the position of amino acid analog present in the hybrid-peptide library). It is speculated that this motif could bind to the site I present in B-subunits of verotoxin by judging from the reported crystal structure of B-subunits with sugar moiety of Gb3.Determination of a binding motif of the amino terminus side is undergoing.
