Solution structure of Human Orexin-A:Regulator of Appetite and Wakefulness
Contents |
Overview
Orexin-A and orexin-B (hypocretin-1 and hypocretin-2, respectively) are, important hypothalamic neuro-peptides, which are encoded by a single mRNA, transcript and stimulate food intake as well as regulate wakefulness. Here, we determined the solution structure of orexin-A by NMR spectroscopy and, by simulated-annealing calculation. The structural features of orexin-A, involve two alpha-helices, with the hydrophobic residues disposed to on, one side of helix, and hydrophilic residues to the other. A hydrophilic, turn induced by two disulfide bonds provides the key difference between, orexin-A and -B. With previous mutagenic studies, the derived structure of, orexin-A provides us with a structure-functional view for novel drug, design.
