Description

Short peptide inhibitor targeting calmodulin phosphatase and substrate T cell activated nuclear factor thereof and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a short peptide inhibitor targeting calmodulin phosphatase and a T cell activating nuclear factor as a substrate thereof and application thereof.

Background

Calmodulin phosphatase (CN) is Ca-dependent²⁺And calmodulin (CaM) serine/threonine protein phosphatases that interact with substrate and target proteins in the organism. CN is a different sourceDimer, consisting of catalytic subunits (A subbunit, CNA) and regulatory subunits (B subbunit, CNB). The two subunits are tightly bound and only become separated by denaturation. Only in the presence of CNA, its activity is very low, and only in the presence of CNB, a highly specific phosphatase activity is exhibited. When Ca is present²⁺Binding to CNB has a major effect on the activity of CN, but the more major effect is due to the modulation of CaM.

The activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) is one of the important substrates of CN, and the activation depends on the dephosphorylation of CN, and the CN/NFAT signal path participates in important physiological and pathological processes of immune response, nervous system development, learning and memory formation in vivo. NFAT has two motifs (motifs) that bind CN, namely pxijit motif and LxVP motif. The classical immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) acts as an immunosuppressive agent by competing with LxVP motif of NFAT to disrupt CN/NFAT interaction.

The classical immunosuppressant, cyclosporin A, (cyclosporine A) requires binding to the intracellular cyclosporin Cyclophilin in order to exert a dephosphorylation effect on CN. It has many problematic toxic and side effects, and the main adverse reactions are nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, which may cause long-term failure of transplanted and normal kidneys. It also aggravates hypertension and hyperlipidemia, thus causing cardiovascular disorders and increasing the risk of obesity.

Calmodulin phosphatase regulatory factors (RCANs) are endogenous regulatory proteins of CN and regulate the CN/NFAT signaling pathway in vivo by affecting the activity of CN, and its binding to CN is also dependent on its PxIxIT motif and LxVP motif.
