Benefits of technology

This patent describes the identification of specific amino acid sequences that can bind to insulin receptors or insulin growth factor-1 receptors (IGF-1R) with high affinity and modulate their activity. These sequences can be used as potential therapeutics or lead compounds for the development of more effective drugs. The patent also describes the use of these sequences in high-throughput screens to identify small molecules that can mimic or antagonize the functions of these receptors. The peptide sequences can be combined to create dimer or other multimeric peptides for various applications. Overall, this patent provides a valuable resource for identifying and developing new treatments for diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

Problems solved by technology

Consistent with this, ablation of IGF-1 (i.e., in IGF-1 knock-out mice) results in embryonic growth deficiency, impaired postnatal growth, and infertility.
Although certain proteins are important drugs, their use as therapeutics presents several difficult problems, including the high cost of production and formulation, administration usually via injection and limited stability in the bloodstream.
However, to date, none of these efforts has resulted in finding an effective drug replacement.

Monomer and Dimer Peptides

[0335] A. Cloning

[0336] Monomer and dimer peptides were constructed and expressed as protein fusions to a chitin binding domain (CBD) using the pTYB2 vector from the IMPACT™-CN system (New England Biolabs (NEB), Beverly, Mass.). The pTYB2 vector encodes a protein-splicing element (termed intein), which initiates self-cleavage upon the addition of DTT. The intein self-cleavage separates the dimer from the affinity tag, to allow purification.

[0337] In the pTYB2 construct, the C-terminus of the peptide sequence was fused to the N-terminus of the intein / CBD sequence. Two peptide-flanking epitope tags were included: a shortened-FLAG® at the N-terminus and E-Tag at the C-terminus. This fusion was generated by ligating a vector fragment encoding the intein / CBD with a PCR product encoding the peptide of interest.

[0338] The vector fragment was obtained by digesting at appropriate restriction sites the pTBY2 vector. The digested DNA fragment was resolved on a 1% ...

PEG-Based Dimer Peptides

[0346] A. Synthesis of the Aldehyde Containing Peptide

[0347] The peptide was synthesized by stepwise solid phase synthesis on Rink amide Tentagel (0.21 mmol / g). Three equivalents of Fmoc-amino acids were used. The serine residue was introduced into the peptide by either coupling Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH to the N-terminal peptide or coupling Boc-Ser(tBu) to a selectively protected lysine side-chain. The peptide was then deprotected and cleaved from the resin by treatment with 95% TFA (trifluoroacetic acid; aq) containing TIS (triisopropylsilan). Periodate oxidation, using 2 equivalent of NaIO4 in 20% DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)-80% phosphate buffer pH 7.5 (45 μl / μmol peptide) for 5 min at room temperature (RT), converted the 2-amino alcohol moiety in an α-oxoacyl group. The peptide was purified immediately following oxidation.

[0348] B. Synthesis of the PEG-Based Dimer

[0349] The unprotected and oxidized peptide (4.2 equivalent) was dimerized on the dioxyamino-PEG (po...

Determination of Insulin Receptor Binding

[0351] IR was incubated with 125I-labeled insulin at various concentrations of test substance and the Kd was calculated. According to this method, human insulin receptor (HIR) or human IGF-1 receptor (HIGF-1R) was purified from transfected cells after solubilization with Triton X-100. The assay buffer contained 100 mM HEPES (pH 7.8), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.5% human serum albumin (HSA), 0.2% gammaglobulin and 0.025% Triton X-100. The receptor concentration was chosen to give 30-60% binding of 2000 cpm (3 pM) of its 125I-labeled ligand (TyrA14−125I-HI or Tyr31-125I-IGF1) and a dilution series of the substance to be tested was added. After equilibration for 2 days at 4° C., each sample (200 μl) was precipitated by addition of 400 μl 25% PEG 6000, centrifuged, washed with 1 ml 15% PEG 6000, and counted in a gamma-counter.

[0352] The insulin / IGF-1 competition curve was fitted to a one-site binding model and the calculated parameters for rece...

Abstract

Peptide sequences capable of binding to insulin and / or insulin-like growth factor receptors with either agonist or antagonist activity and identified from various peptide libraries are disclosed. This invention also identifies at least two different binding sites, which are present on insulin and insulin-like growth factor receptors, and which selectively bind the peptides of this invention. As agonists, the peptides of this invention may be useful for development as therapeutics to supplement or replace endogenous peptide hormones. The antagonist peptides may also be developed as therapeutics.
