dc.description.abstractThe proteins of the Ly6 family have a three-finger folding as snake venom alpha-neurotoxins, targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), and some of them, like mammalian secreted Ly6/ uPAR protein (SLURP1) and membrane-attached Ly-6/ neurotoxin (Lynx1), also interact with distinct nAChR subtypes. We believed that synthetic fragments of these endogenous proteins might open new ways for drug design because nAChRs are well-known targets for developing analgesics and drugs against neurodegenerative diseases. Since interaction with nAChRs was earlier shown for synthetic fragments of the alpha-neurotoxin central loop II, we synthesized a 15-membered fragment of human Lynx1, its form with two Cys residues added at the N- and C-termini and forming a disulfide, as well as similar forms of human SLURP1, SLURP2, and of Drosophila sleepless protein (SSS). The IC50 values measured in competition with radioiodinated alpha-bungarotoxin for binding to the membrane-bound Torpedo californica nAChR were 4.9 and 7.4 mu M for Lynx1 and SSS fragments, but over 300 mu M for SLURP1 or SLURP2 fragments. The affinity of these compounds for the alpha 7 nAChR in the rat pituitary tumor-derived cell line GH4C1 was different: 13.1 and 147 mu M for SSS and Lynx1 fragments, respectively. In competition for the ligand-binding domain of the alpha 9 nAChR subunit, SSS and Lynx1 fragments had IC50 values of about 40 mu M, which correlates with the value found for the latter with the rat alpha 9 alpha 10 nAChR expressed in the Xenopus oocytes. Thus, the activity of these synthetic peptides against muscle-type and alpha 9 alpha 10 nAChRs indicates that they may be useful in design of novel myorelaxants and analgesics.
