Contents

Overview

Orexin-A and orexin-B (also called hypocretin-1 and hypocretin-2, respectively) are novel hypothalamic neuropeptides encoded by a single, mRNA transcript; they stimulate food intake. We have determined the, three-dimensional solution structure of human hypocretin-2/orexin-B using, two-dimensional 1H-NMR data and dynamical simulated annealing, calculations. On the basis of NOEs, 3JHNalpha coupling constants and, hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates together with chemical shift indices, human hypocretin-2/orexin-B was deduced to consist of two alpha-helices, connected with a short linker in both H2O and 30% trifluoroethanol, solutions. The helical axis of helix I is oriented about 60-80 degrees, relative to helix II. Hybrid distance geometry and simulated-annealing, protocols were used to generate an ensemble of 30 structures with no, constraint violations greater than 0.03 nm for distances and 3 degrees for, angles. In addition, human hypocretin-2/orexin-B shares a similar, secondary-structural motif with human neuropeptide Y. This result can form, the basis for further study on ligand-receptor recognition of human orexin, receptors.
