| + | Aberrant tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) signaling is associated with many inflammatory diseases. The homotrimeric quaternary structure of TNFalpha is essential for receptor recognition and signal transduction. Previously, we described an engineered alpha/beta-peptide inhibitor that potently suppresses TNFalpha activity and resists proteolysis. Here, we present structural evidence that both the alpha/beta-peptide inhibitor and an all-alpha analogue bind to a monomeric form of TNFalpha. Calorimetry data support a 1:1 inhibitor/TNFalpha stoichiometry in solution. In contrast, previous cocrystal structures involving peptide or small-molecule inhibitors have shown the antagonists engaging a TNFalpha dimer. The structural data reveal why our inhibitors favor monomeric TNFalpha. Previous efforts to block TNFalpha-induced cell death with peptide inhibitors revealed that surfactant additives to the assay conditions cause a more rapid manifestation of inhibitory activity than is observed in the absence of additives. We attributed this effect to a loose surfactant TNFalpha association that lowers the barrier to trimer dissociation. Here, we used the new structural data to design peptide inhibitors bearing a surfactant-inspired appendage intended to facilitate TNFalpha trimer dissociation. The appendage modified the time course of protection from cell death. | ||
