1. Highly enantioselective enone epoxidation catalyzed by short solid phase-bound peptides: dominant role of peptide helicity
A Berkessel, N Gasch, K Glaubitz, C Koch Org Lett. 2001 Nov 29;3(24):3839-42. doi: 10.1021/ol0166451.
The series of L-Leu 1-20-mers, peptides carrying 1-5 N-terminal Gly residues, and oligomers of (S)-beta(3)-Leu and (1R,2R)-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid were synthesized on TentaGel S NH(2). Five L-Leu residues were found sufficient to catalyze the Juliá-Colonna epoxidation of chalcone with 96-98% ee. Experiment and molecular modeling suggest that catalysis is effected by binding of the enone to the N-terminus, and the helicity of the peptide determines the epoxide configuration through face-selective delivery of a hydroperoxide anion.

2. Mode of action of cationic antimicrobial peptides defines the tethering position and the efficacy of biocidal surfaces
Mojtaba Bagheri, Michael Beyermann, Margitta Dathe Bioconjug Chem. 2012 Jan 18;23(1):66-74. doi: 10.1021/bc200367f. Epub 2011 Dec 22.
Covalent immobilization of cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs) at sufficient density and distance from the solid matrix has been suggested as a successful strategy for the generation of biocidal surfaces. To test the hypothesis that the mode of peptide action is decisive for the selection of an appropriate tethering position on solid surfaces, melittin (MEL), a channel-forming peptide, buforin 2 (BUF2), a peptide able to translocate bacterial membranes without permeabilization and targeting nucleic acids, and tritrpticin (TP), described to be membrane-lytic and to have intracellular targets, were C- and N-terminally immobilized on TentaGel S NH(2) resin beads as model surface. The peptide termini were modified with aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) and coupled via oxime-forming ligation. The comparison of the activities of the three peptides and their AOA-modified analogues with a KLAL model peptide which permeabilizes membranes by a so-called "carpet-like" mode provided the following results: The peptides in solution state were active against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli at micromolar concentrations. MEL and TP but not BUF2-derived peptides permeabilized the inner and outer membrane of E. coli and enhanced the permeability of lipid bilayers at concentrations around their antimicrobial values (MICs). Immobilization reduced peptide activity to millimolar MICs. The activity reduction for KLAL was independent of the tethering position and comparably low, as reflected by a low ratio of MIC(tethered)/MIC(free). In contrary, the pore-forming MEL was much less active when immobilized at the N-terminus compared with the C-terminally tethered peptide. C- and N-terminal TP tethering caused an identical but much pronounced activity decrease. The tethered BUF2 peptides were inactive at the tested concentrations suggesting that the peptides could not reach the intracellular targets. In conclusion, membrane active peptides seem to be most suitable for the generation of antimicrobial surfaces, but knowledge about their mode of membrane insertion and positioning is required to identify optimal tethering positions. The relationship between the mechanism of action and position of immobilization is highly relevant for the establishment of a general approach to obtain efficient biocidal solid matrices loaded with CAPs.
3. Immobilization reduces the activity of surface-bound cationic antimicrobial peptides with no influence upon the activity spectrum
Mojtaba Bagheri, Michael Beyermann, Margitta Dathe Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2009 Mar;53(3):1132-41. doi: 10.1128/AAC.01254-08. Epub 2008 Dec 22.
Early studies of immobilized peptides mainly focused upon the relationship between structural properties and the activity of soluble and surface-tethered sequences. The intention of this study was to analyze the influence of immobilization parameters upon the activity profile of peptides. Resin beads (TentaGel S NH(2), HypoGel 400 NH(2), and HypoGel 200 NH(2)) with polyethylene glycol spacers of different lengths were rendered antimicrobial by linkage of an amphipathic model KLAL peptide and magainin-derived MK5E. Standard solid-phase peptide synthesis, thioalkylation, and ligation strategies were used to immobilize the peptides at the C and N termini and via different side-chain positions. Depending upon the resin capacity and the coupling strategies, peptide loading ranged between 0.1 and 0.25 micromol/mg for C-terminally and around 0.03 micromol/mg for N-terminally and side-chain-immobilized peptides. Tethering conserved the activity spectra of the soluble peptides at reduced concentrations. The resin-bound peptides were antimicrobial toward Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis in the millimolar range compared to the results seen with micromolar concentrations of the free peptides. B. subtilis was more susceptible than E. coli. The antimicrobial activity distinctly decreased with reduction of the spacer length. Slight differences in the antimicrobial effect of KLAL and MK5E bound at different chain positions on TentaGel S NH(2) suggest that the activity is less dependent upon the position of immobilization. Soluble KLAL was active toward red blood cells, whereas MK5E was nonhemolytic at up to about 400 microM. Resin-induced hemolysis hampered the determination of the hemolytic effect of the immobilized peptides. TentaGel S NH(2)-bound peptides enhanced the permeability of the POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-choline) and mixed POPC/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-rac-(1-glycerol)] (POPC/POPG) bilayers used to model the charge properties of the biological targets. The results suggest that surface immobilization of the cationic amphipathic antimicrobial peptides does not influence the membrane-permeabilizing mode of action. Peptide insertion into the target membrane and likely the exchange of membrane-stabilizing bivalent cations contribute to the antimicrobial effect. In conclusion, reasonable antimicrobial activity of surface-bound peptides requires the optimization of the coupling parameters, with the length of the spacer and the amount of target-accessible peptide being the most important factors.
