Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Relaxin-3 is a two-chain neuropeptide that plays a key role in stress responses, arousal and affective behaviors through interaction with RXFP3 that is highly expressed in the brain. From detailed structure-activity relationship studies together with the known tertiary structure of relaxin-3 and molecular modeling of the RXFP3-relaxin-3 complex, the central B-chain α-helical region of relaxin-3 is essential for the binding to RXFP3 as it contains several key residues. The C-terminal residues are critical for activation of RXFP3. Although all the critical residues are located within the B-chain, the native relaxin-3 B-chain alone displays only weak agonistic activity at RXFP3 probably due to loss of the native helical binding conformation when separated from the stabilizing A-chain. In this study we applied this stapling system to stabilize the α-helix of single B-chain and showed that it mimics the native conformation of B-chain and possesses potent RXFP3 agonist activity.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
リラキシン-3は、インスリンスーパーファミリーに属ている神経ペプチドの一つである。このスーパーファミリーに属するペプチドの構造改変はあまり研究がなされてこなかった。その理由は、二本鎖の中分子であるが故に、低分子化、改変分子におけるNativeコンフォメーションの再現に困難が伴うからである。しかし、リラキシン-3をB鎖のみのステープルペプチドとすると、その合成は容易となり改変も可能である。更には、多分子間相互作用を狙った二価性、三価性のアナログ等の創製も可能となる。このような高機能なペプチド性医薬品の投入は、規模を拡大し続けている精神疾患の創薬マーケットにインパクトを持って迎えらえるはずである。
