STRUCTURE OF A RETRO-BINDING PEPTIDE INHIBITOR COMPLEXED WITH HUMAN ALPHA-THROMBIN
Contents |
Overview
The crystallographic structure of the ternary complex between human, alpha-thrombin, hirugen and the peptidyl inhibitor Phe-alloThr-Phe-O-CH3, which is acylated at its N terminus with 4-guanidino butanoic acid, (BMS-183507), has been determined at 2.6 A resolution. The structure, reveals a unique "retro-binding" mode for this tripeptide active site, inhibitor. The inhibitor binds with its alkyl-guanidine moiety in the, primary specificity pocket and its two phenyl rings occupying the, hydrophobic proximal and distal pockets of the thrombin active site. In, this arrangement the backbone of the tripeptide forms a parallel, beta-strand to the thrombin main-chain at the binding site. This is, opposite to the orientation of the natural substrate, fibrinogen, and all, the small active site-directed thrombin inhibitors whose bound structures, have been previously reported. BMS-183507 is the first synthetic inhibitor, proved to bind in a retro-binding fashion to thrombin, in a fashion, similar to that of the N-terminal residues of the natural inhibitor, hirudin. Furthermore, this new potent thrombin inhibitor (Ki = 17.2 nM) is, selective for thrombin over other serine proteases tested and may be a, template to be considered in designing hirudin-based thrombin inhibitors, with interactions at the specificity pocket.
