The two-step evolutionary walk from R6A-1 to mGSP-1 resulted in an 8000-fold inversion in binding specificity, altered seven out of nine residues in the starting peptide core, and incorporated both positive and negative design steps.
Compared to our original starting peptide GNU7, hybrid peptides had an 8- to 32-fold improvement in antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium.
These conditions ensured maximum alkylation of the starting peptide with minimal side product (e.g., dialkylation) formation.
Chromatographic analysis and purification of the starting peptide (5; Scheme 1) was performed on a Dionex Ultimate 300 HPLC system (Dionex Corp).
Significantly, the predominant product in samples of the H3 Lysine-9(Me/ iPr) peptide with JMJD2E possessed a mass 16 Da higher than the starting peptide, implying hydroxylation.
The most prominent ion in the MS spectrum is at m/ z 421.8; this mass corresponds to the [M + 2H]2+ ion of the starting peptide and results from fragmentation of the amide bond involving the lysine side chain.
