dc.description.abstract | To probe the binding of a peptide agonist to a G-protein coupled receptor in native membranes, the spin-labeled amino acid analogue 4-amino-4-carboxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidino-1-oxyl (TOAC) was substituted at either position 4 or 9 within the substance P peptide (RPKPQQFFGLM-NH2), a potent agonist of the neurokinin-1 receptor. the affinity of the 4-TOAC analog is comparable to the native peptide while the affinity of the 9-TOAC derivative is similar to 250-fold lower. Both peptides activate receptor signaling, though the potency of the 9-TOAC peptide is substantially lower. the utility of these modified ligands for reporting conformational dynamics during the neurokinin-1 receptor activation was explored using EPR spectroscopy, which can determine the real-time dynamics of the TOAC nitroxides in solution. While the binding of both the 4-TOAC substance P and 9-TOAC substance P peptides to isolated cell membranes containing the neurokinin-1 receptor is detected, a bound signal for the 9-TOAC peptide is only obtained under conditions that maintain the receptor in its high-affinity binding state. in contrast, 4-TOAC substance P binding is observed by solution EPR under both low- and high-affinity receptor states, with evidence of a more strongly immobilized peptide in the presence of GDP. in addition, to better understand the conformational consequences of TOAC substitution into substance P as it relates to receptor binding and activation, atomistic models for both the 4- and 9-TOAC versions of the peptide were constructed, and the molecular dynamics calculated via simulated annealing to explore the influence of the TOAC substitutions on backbone structure.
