    Description: The chemical synthesis of biologically active peptides and polypeptides can be achieved by using a convergent strategy of condensing protected peptide segments to form the desired molecule. An oxime support increases the ease with which intermediate protected peptides can be synthesized and makes this approach useful for the synthesis of peptides in which secondary structural elements have been redesigned. The extension of these methods to large peptides and proteins, for which folding of secondary structures into functional tertiary structures is critical, is discussed. Models of apolipoproteins, the homeo domain from the developmental protein encoded by the Antennapedia gene of Drosophila, a part of the Cro repressor, and the enzyme ribonuclease T1 and a structural analog have been synthesized with this method.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kaiser, E T -- Mihara, H -- Laforet, G A -- Kelly, J W -- Walters, L -- Findeis, M A -- Sasaki, T -- DK07825/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM12054/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL-186577/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Jan 13;243(4888):187-92.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2492114" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: A peptide 60 residues in length that corresponds to the homeo domain of Antennapedia (Antp), a protein governing development in Drosophila, was synthesized by segment condensation with protected peptide segments prepared on an oxime resin. A footprinting assay showed that the homeo domain binds specifically to a TAA repeat DNA sequence in the Antp gene. Thus the Antp homeo domain has a sequence-specific DNA binding property. The circular dichroism spectra of the homeo domain peptide showed the presence of a significant amount of alpha-helical structure in aqueous solution and in 50 percent trifluoroethanol. The alpha helicity measured in water appears to depend on the peptide concentration, which suggests that the peptide aggregates. These results support the hypothesis that the homeo domain binds to DNA through a helix-turn-helix motif.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mihara, H -- Kaiser, E T -- RR 862/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Nov 11;242(4880):925-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10021.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2903553" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: During chemotaxis, activation of the small guanosine triphosphatase Rac is spatially regulated to organize the extension of membrane protrusions in the direction of migration. In neutrophils, Rac activation is primarily mediated by DOCK2, an atypical guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Upon stimulation, we found that DOCK2 rapidly translocated to the plasma membrane in a phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent manner. However, subsequent accumulation of DOCK2 at the leading edge required phospholipase D-mediated synthesis of phosphatidic acid, which stabilized DOCK2 there by means of interaction with a polybasic amino acid cluster, resulting in increased local actin polymerization. When this interaction was blocked, neutrophils failed to form leading edges properly and exhibited defects in chemotaxis. Thus, intracellular DOCK2 dynamics are sequentially regulated by distinct phospholipids to localize Rac activation during neutrophil chemotaxis.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3761877/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3761877/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Nishikimi, Akihiko -- Fukuhara, Hideo -- Su, Wenjuan -- Hongu, Tsunaki -- Takasuga, Shunsuke -- Mihara, Hisashi -- Cao, Qinhong -- Sanematsu, Fumiyuki -- Kanai, Motomu -- Hasegawa, Hiroshi -- Tanaka, Yoshihiko -- Shibasaki, Masakatsu -- Kanaho, Yasunori -- Sasaki, Takehiko -- Frohman, Michael A -- Fukui, Yoshinori -- R01 GM084251/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM71520/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Apr 17;324(5925):384-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1170179.
