Abstract
A series of novel cyclic peptides composed of 3 to 5 dipeptide units with alternating natural-unnatural amino acid units, have been designed and synthesized, employing 5-(N-alkanoylamino)-3-aminobenzoic acid with a long alkanoyl chain as the unnatural amino acid. All cyclic peptides with systematically varying pore size, shape, and lipophilicity are found to form ion channels with a conductance of ca. 9 pS in aqueous KCl (500 mM) upon examination by the voltage clamp method. These peptide channels are cation selective with the permeability ratio P(Cl(-))/P(K(+)) of around 0.17. The ion channels formed by the neutral, cationic, and anionic cyclic peptides containing L-alanine, L-lysine, and L-aspartate, respectively, show the monovalent cation selectivity with the permeability ratio P(Na(+))/P(K(+)) of ca. 0.39. On the basis of structural information provided by voltage-dependent blockade of the single channel current of all the tested peptides by Ca(2+), we inferred that each channel is formed from a dimer of the peptide with its peptide ring constructing the channel entrance and its alkanoyl chains lining across the membrane to build up the channel pore. The experimental results are consistent with an idea that the rate of ion...Continue Reading
