Naider, Fred; Yaron, Arieh; Ewenson, Ariel; Tallon, Michael; Xue, Chu Biao; Srinivasan, Jaya V.; Eriotou-Bargiota, Effimia; Becker, Jeffrey M. published the artcile< Synthetic probes for the α-factor receptor>, Recommanded Product: (9Z,12Z)-Methyl octadeca-9,12-dienoate, the main research area is alpha factor analog receptor probe; yeast mating tridecapeptide pheromone receptor probe.
The binding of the tridecapeptide yeast mating pheromone, α-factor, to its receptor represents an excellent model for the investigation of peptide hormone-receptor interactions. Preferential acylation of the α- or ε-amine in [Nle12]-α-factor was accomplished using 3-[3,5-diiodo-4-hydroxyphenyl]propanoic acid hydroxysuccinimide ester (diiodo Bolton-Hunter reagent). The product distribution depended on pH, organic cosolvent, and the ratio of organic solvent and aqueous buffer. Product distributions were followed using anal. HPLC and the products were characterized enzymically and by mass spectrometry. Citraconic anhydride preferentially α-acylated [Nle12]-α-factor and served as a temporary masking group during the synthesis of ε-Bolton-Hunter acylated pheromone. Biotin or diiodo Bolton-Hunter reagents were also directly incorporated into [Nle12]-α-factor during peptide synthesis. The biol. activity of the synthetic peptides was characterized using growth arrest assays. These studies provide insightes into the structural requirements for binding of α-factor to its receptor and form a basis for detailed investigation of the receptor using biochem. procedures.
