Description

Chemical synthesis method of hirudin with tyrosine sulfation modification
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polypeptide sulfation modification solid phase synthesis preparation, in particular to a chemical synthesis method of hirudin with tyrosine sulfation modification.
Background
Hirudin (Hirudin) is a protein found in the saliva of leeches. The amino acid sequence of hirudin contains about 65 amino acid residues, and its amino terminal (N-terminal) contains six cysteines, and forms a spherical compact stable structure by three pairs of disulfide bonds, and its exposed carboxyl terminal (C-terminal) sequence has homology with fibrinogen in animal body in amino acid sequence. The thrombin in the animal body can specifically recognize and cut fibrinogen, so that the fibrinogen with better water solubility originally forms a fibrin monomer which is insoluble in water, and the thrombin plays roles of blocking blood vessels and preventing excessive bleeding through the action mechanism. The hirudin and thrombin have stronger interaction than the fibrinogen and the thrombin, can directly inhibit the activity of the thrombin, and are the most effective natural thrombin inhibitors known at present. Since hirudin has anticoagulant activity, it is considered to be clinically used as an anticoagulant, and through relevant evaluation, hirudin is considered to have potential value as an antithrombotic agent, and some clinical studies have been conducted on it by obtaining recombinant hirudin by a plasmid expression method (Nowak, G.,
Figure BDA0003550750350000011
K.,Thromb.Haemostasis,2007,98,116–119.)。
Kithe inhibition constant in enzyme kinetics can be expressed and reflects the inhibition intensity of the inhibitor on the enzyme, and the smaller the value, the stronger the inhibition intensity is. K of natural hirudin to thrombin is reportediThe value is about 25fM (Stone, S.R., Hofsteenge, J., biochemistry, 1986,25, 4622-one 4628), whereas the K of thrombin for recombinant hirudins expressed by E.coli or yeastiThe value was approximately 300fM (Liu, C.C., Schultz, P.G., nat. Biotechnol.,2006,24,1436-40.), which indicates expression by plasmidThe obtained recombinant hirudin has anticoagulant activity lower than that of natural hirudin. The difference between the activity of natural hirudin and recombinant hirudin is that the natural hirudin contains a sulfated and modified tyrosine (Tyr), which can make the C-terminal of hirudin negatively charged, and enhance the interaction between the C-terminal of hirudin and thrombin, thereby improving the anticoagulant activity of hirudin. Since the sulfation modification of tyrosine is a post-translational modification (PTM) which is found in higher eukaryotes, recombinant hirudins expressed by e.coli or yeast do not undergo this important post-translational modification, thus resulting in a significant reduction of the anticoagulant activity of the recombinant hirudin.
Post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins is a common mechanism that enriches the structural diversity of an organism's genome. Two common PTMs include O-glycosylation modification of serine (Ser) or threonine (Thr) (r.j. payne, c.h.wong, chem.commun.,2010,46, 21-43) and sulfation modification of tyrosine (Tyr) mentioned above (c.seibert, t.p.sakmar, pept.sci.,2008,90, 459-. These two modifications are performed at golgi weight by glycosyltransferases and Tyrosine Protein Sulfotransferases (TPSTs), respectively. It is estimated that more than 50% of proteins expressed in eukaryotes are O-glycosylation modified and more than 1% are tyrosine sulfation modified. These two PTMs are involved in many biological processes including molecular recognition, cell differentiation, immunomodulation and protein folding, which have led to a great interest in the development of various disease therapeutics for glycosylated and sulfated proteins. Despite the importance of these modifications, it is extremely challenging to obtain purified O-glycosylation modified proteins and Tyr sulfation modified proteins. Because the PTM process has a non-templated nature, it is determined by the relative activities of the transferases, and changes in relative activities result in the organisms expressing a mixture of proteins of various types, both glycoform (with O-glycosylation modifications) and sulfoform (with Tyr sulfation modifications), which are generally not separable by chromatographic separation techniques.
The main currently available route for obtaining homogenous glycoproteins (O-glycosylation modified proteins) and sulphated modified proteins is the chemical synthesis. The technology of obtaining a homogenous glycoprotein by chemical synthesis methods is well established, and the technology of synthesizing a homogenous sulfated and modified protein by applying the technology is also being developed.
The different hirudins found to date differ somewhat in amino acid sequence and are thought to undergo mutation to develop several variants. Among them, hirudin HIRV1, a european medicine, was entered into clinical studies as an anticoagulant in an unmodified form and was found to exhibit a certain inhibitory effect on human thrombin activity (c.c. liu, e.brusmad, w.liu, p.g. schultz, j.am.chem.soc.,2007,129, 10648-10649.). It is considered that if tyrosine sulfated and modified hirudin HIRV1 can be obtained, and the synthetic process is optimized, the synthetic yield of sulfated and modified hirudin HIRV1 in the chemical synthetic process is improved, and the improvement of the anticoagulation activity in the clinical research of hirudin HIRV1 and the reduction of the cost of the clinical research are greatly influenced. Therefore, there is a need to develop a synthetic method with convenient synthesis and purification, modular synthesis and considerable yield, so as to efficiently prepare the homogenized hirudin HIRV1 with sulfation modification.

In the synthetic route, only the mature Fmoc amino acid solid-phase synthesis method is needed to introduce the sulfated and modified tyrosine at the target position, and the side reaction easily occurring in the synthetic process is avoided due to the mature Fmoc amino acid solid-phase polypeptide synthesis method.
In the method of the invention, amino acid Fmoc-Tyr (OSO) with side chain sulfate protecting group of nP is introduced in the solid phase synthesis of polypeptide3And the nP) -OH, the nP protecting group is automatically removed in the aqueous solution in the NCL reaction process, and no additional protecting group removing reaction is needed, so that the synthesis time is shortened, and the synthesis efficiency is improved.
In the method, after the crude product of the polypeptide fragment 1 of the C-terminal hydrazide of hirudin is obtained, the C-terminal hydrazide is converted into MPAA through thioesterification reaction of the pH 3 of a reaction system, and the MPAA is separated, purified and lyophilized, so that the HIRV1 polypeptide fragment 1 at the tail end of the MPAA stably exists in a lyophilized form, and hydrolysis reaction easily occurring when the pH of the MPAA is more than 7 is avoided.
In the earlier stage of research of the method, after the NCL reaction in the step (6) is carried out, the crude product solution obtained in the step (6) is subjected to first separation and purification by reverse liquid chromatography with a mobile phase of acetonitrile/water mixed solution containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid, freeze-drying is carried out to obtain a pure product of the full-length hirudin linear polypeptide with the sulfated and modified tyrosine at the 63 th position and the removed nP protecting group, then the pure product freeze-dried powder is dissolved in a refolding reaction system for oxidation and refolding, the components and the concentration of the refolding reaction system are the same as those of the system, and finally the pure product is separated and purified by the reverse liquid chromatography method with the same mobile phase again and freeze-dried to obtain the sulfated and modified full-length hirudin protein at the 63 th position, and the protein synthesis yield is 4%. The method of the invention innovatively adopts a one-pot method of NCL reaction and refolding reaction. The polypeptide fragment 1 of hirudin with MPAA at the C end and the polypeptide fragment 2 of hirudin with sulfated modified tyrosine and cysteine at the N end are subjected to NCL reaction, and by a method of ultrafiltration centrifugation and solution system replacement, after small molecules MPAA and TCEP which are easy to influence refolding reaction are removed, a crude product solution is directly and slowly dripped into the refolding reaction system for reaction, so that the conversion of the hirudin full-length linear polypeptide folded into hirudin protein is realized, the liquid phase purification steps after the NCL reaction are saved, two times of separation and purification are reduced to one time, the synthesis time and cost are greatly shortened on the premise of not influencing the product purity, the synthesis yield is improved, and the protein synthesis yield is finally improved to 21%.
