中国科学院华南植物园农业及资源植物研究中心科研人员从鼎湖山土壤来源的一株放线菌Streptomycessp. SC0581代谢产物中,获得4个具有显著糜蛋白酶选择性抑制活性的环酯肽类化合物(Dinghupeptins A-D),首次运用量子化学DFT理论计算阐明了这些化合物的三维结构,并通过酶动力学分析和分子对接实验探讨了这些活性分子的作用机制和结合位点。

化合物Dinghupeptins AB分子中具有特征性的Ahp环结构,该类环酯肽家族庞大,大部分存在于蓝藻中,并多具有丝氨酸蛋白酶抑制活性,是丝氨酸蛋白酶生物功能研究的潜力天然分子探针,受到药物化学、天然产物化学和有机合成化学等研究领域的广泛关注。该系列化合物三维结构的分析方法和酶抑制机制的阐明,对环酯肽化学生物学功能及其相关研究具有重要意义。

相关研究结果已发表在国际学术期刊Journal of Natural ProductsJ. Nat. Prod., 2018, 81 (9): 19281936)上,并选为当期主编推荐文章。(来源:中国科学院华南植物园)

 

Dinghupeptins A–D, Chymotrypsin Inhibitory Cyclodepsipeptides Produced by a Soil-Derived Streptomyces

 

Abstract  Four new cyclodepsipeptides, dinghupeptins A–D (1–4), possessing a rare N5-(2-hydroxylethyl)glutamine moiety, were isolated from cultures of the soil-derived Streptomyces sp. SC0581. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and advanced Marfey’s amino acid analysis, and their 3D structures were established by theoretical conformational analysis. Compounds 1 and 2, containing a 3-amino-6-hydroxypiperidone unit, displayed selective inhibition of chymotrypsin with IC50 values of 2.1 and 1.1 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetic analysis and molecular docking experiments revealed they are competitive inhibitors binding to the active site of chymotrypsin.
