    Abstract Substitution of natural amino acids with their aza-amino acid counterparts in peptides has been a historically challenging prospect due to the diminished reactivity of the involved reagents. Current methods require lengthy reaction times or difficult synthetic strategies. Aza-glycine has proven to be a valuable tool in the design of triple-helix-forming collagen peptides. Herein, we describe a method for incorporation of aza-glycine in collagen peptides, and we apply the method to the synthesis of collagen peptides containing multiple aza-glycine residues.

    Abstract Here we show that a solvent-exposed f-position (i.e., residue 14) within a well-characterized trimeric helix bundle can facilitate a stabilizing long-range synergistic interaction involving b-position Glu10 (i.e., i – 4 relative to residue 14) and c-position Lys18 (i.e., i + 4), depending the identity of residue 14. The extent of stabilization associated with the Glu10-Lys18 pair depends primarily on the presence of a side-chain hydrogen-bond donor at residue 14; the nonpolar or hydrophobic character of residue 14 plays a smaller but still significant role. Crystal structures and molecular dynamics simulations indicate that Glu10 and Lys18 do not interact directly with each other but suggest the possibility that the proximity of residue 14 with Lys18 allows Glu10 to interact favorably with nearby Lys7. Subsequent thermodynamic experiments confirm the important role of Lys7 in the large synergistic stabilization associated with the Glu10-Lys18 pair. Our results highlight the exquisite complexity and surprising long-range synergistic interactions among b-, c-, and f-position residues within helix bundles, suggesting new possibilities for engineering hyperstable helix bundles and emphasizing the need to consider carefully the impact of substitutions at these positions for application-specific purposes.

    Abstract PEGylation is an important strategy for enhancing the pharmacokinetic properties of protein drugs. Modern chemoselective reactions now enable specific placement of a single PEG at any site on a protein surface. However, few rational structure-based guidelines exist for selecting optimal PEGylation sites. Here, we explore the impact of PEGylation on the conformational stability of α-helices using an α-helical coiled coil as a model system. We find that maleimide-based PEGylation of a solvent-exposed i position Cys can stabilize coiled-coil quaternary structure when Lys residues occupy both the i + 3 and i + 4 positions, due to favorable interactions between the PEG-maleimide and the Lys residues. Applying this Cys(i)-Lys(i+3)-Lys(i+4) triad to a solvent-exposed position within the C-terminal helix of the villin headpiece domain leads to similar PEG-based increases in conformational stability, highlighting the possibility of using the Cys(i)-Lys(i+3)-Lys(i+4) triad as a general strategy for PEG-based stabilization of helical proteins.

    Abstract The interaction of a positively charged amino acid residue with a negatively charged residue (i.e. a salt bridge) can contribute substantially to protein conformational stability, especially when two ionic groups are in close proximity. At longer distances, this stabilizing effect tends to drop off precipitously. However, several lines of evidence suggest that salt-bridge interaction could persist at longer distances if an aromatic amino acid residue were positioned between the anion and cation. Here we explore this possibility in the context of a peptide in which a Lys residue occupies the i + 8 position relative to an i-position Glu on the solvent-exposed surface of a helix-bundle homotrimer. Variable temperature circular dichroism (CD) experiments indicate that an i + 4-position Trp enables a favorable long-range interaction between Glu and the i + 8 Lys. A substantial portion of this effect relies on the presence of a hydrogen-bond donor on the arene; however, non-polar arenes, a cyclic hydrocarbon, and an acyclic Leu side-chain can also enhance the long-range salt bridge, possibly by excluding water and ions from the space between Glu and Lys.

    Abstract The bulky dehydroamino acids dehydrovaline (ΔVal) and dehydroethylnorvaline (ΔEnv) can be inserted into the turn regions of β-hairpin peptides without altering their secondary structures. These residues increase proteolytic stability, with ΔVal at the (i + 1) position having the most substantial impact. Additionally, a bulky dehydroamino acid can be paired with a d-amino acid (i.e., d-Pro) to synergistically enhance resistance to proteolysis. A link between proteolytic stability and peptide structure is established by the finding that a stabilized ΔVal-containing β-hairpin is more highly folded than its Asn-containing congener.

    Abstract Hydrocarbon stapling and PEGylation are distinct strategies for enhancing the conformational stability and/or pharmacokinetic properties of peptide and protein drugs. Here we combine these approaches by incorporating asparagine-linked O-allyl PEG oligomers at two positions within the β-sheet protein WW, followed by stapling of the PEGs via olefin metathesis. The impact of stapling two sites that are close in primary sequence is small relative to the impact of PEGylation alone and depends strongly on PEG length. In contrast, stapling of two PEGs that are far apart in primary sequence but close in tertiary structure provides substantially more stabilization, derived mostly from an entropic effect. Comparison of PEGylation + stapling vs. alkylation + stapling at the same positions in WW reveals that both approaches provide similar overall levels of conformational stability.

    Abstract PEGylation is an important strategy for enhancing the pharmacokinetic properties of protein drugs. Modern chemoselective reactions now enable specific placement of a single PEG at any site on a protein surface. However, few rational structure-based guidelines exist for selecting optimal PEGylation sites. Here, we explore the impact of PEGylation on the conformational stability of α-helices using an α-helical coiled coil as a model system. We find that maleimide-based PEGylation of a solvent-exposed i position Cys can stabilize coiled-coil quaternary structure when Lys residues occupy both the i + 3 and i + 4 positions, due to favorable interactions between the PEG-maleimide and the Lys residues. Applying this Cysᵢ–Lysᵢ₊₃–Lysᵢ₊₄ triad to a solvent-exposed position within the C-terminal helix of the villin headpiece domain leads to similar PEG-based increases in conformational stability, highlighting the possibility of using the Cysᵢ–Lysᵢ₊₃–Lysᵢ₊₄ triad as a general strategy for PEG-based stabilization of helical proteins.
