Description

Chemical synthesis method of hirudin with tyrosine sulfation modification
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solid phase synthesis preparation of polypeptide sulfation modification, 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, its amino terminal (N-terminal) contains six cysteines, and forms a stable structure with compact sphere by three pairs of disulfide bonds, and its exposed carboxyl terminal (C-terminal) sequence is identical to the amino acid sequence of fibrinogen in animalsThe above-mentioned sequences have homology. Thrombin in an animal body can specifically identify and cut fibrinogen, so that fibrinogen with good water solubility originally forms a water-insoluble fibrin monomer, 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 thrombin", can directly inhibit the activity of thrombin, and are currently known to be the most effective natural thrombin inhibitors. Because hirudin has anticoagulant activity, it is considered to be clinically used as an anticoagulant, and potential value of hirudin as an antithrombotic agent is considered through related evaluation, and a certain clinical study was conducted on recombinant hirudin obtained by a plasmid expression method (Nowak, g., K.,Thromb.Haemostasis,2007,98,116–119.)。
K i The inhibition constant in the enzyme kinetics can be expressed, reflecting the inhibition intensity of the inhibitor on the enzyme, and the smaller this value, the stronger the inhibition intensity. K of natural hirudin against thrombin is reported i The value was about 25fM (Stone, S.R., hofsteinge, J., biochemistry, 1986,25,4622-4628), whereas recombinant hirudin expressed by E.coli or yeast had a K for thrombin i Values of about 300fM (Liu, C.C., schultz, P.G., nat.Biotechnol.,2006,24,1436-40.) indicate that recombinant hirudin obtained by the plasmid expression method has a lower anticoagulant activity than natural hirudin. The difference in activity between natural hirudin and recombinant hirudin is due to the fact that natural hirudin contains a sulfated and modified tyrosine (Tyr), which can negatively charge the C-terminal of hirudin and enhance the interaction between the C-terminal of hirudin and thrombin, thereby enhancing the anticoagulant activity of hirudin. Since the sulfation modification of tyrosine is a post-translational modification (post-translational modification, PTM) found in higher eukaryotes, recombinant hirudin expressed by E.coli or yeast does not undergo this important post-translational modification, and thus the anticoagulant activity of the recombinant hirudin is significantly reduced.
Post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins is a common mechanism for enriching the structural diversity of the genome of an organism. Two common PTMs include the O-glycosylation modification of serine (Ser) or threonine (Thr) (R.J.Payne, C.H.Wong, chem.Commun.,2010,46,21-43) and the sulfation modification of tyrosine (Tyr) mentioned above (C.Seibert, T.P.Sakmar, pept.Sci.,2008,90,459-477). These two modifications are performed again in the golgi apparatus by glycosyltransferases and Tyrosine Protein Sulfotransferases (TPSTs), respectively. It is estimated that of eukaryotic expressed proteins, more than 50% are O-glycosylation modified and more than 1% are tyrosine sulfation modified. These two PTMs are involved in a number of biological processes including molecular recognition, cell differentiation, immunomodulation, and protein folding, which have led to a great deal of interest in the development of various disease-treating drugs for glycosylated and sulfated proteins. Despite the importance of these modifications, it is very challenging to obtain purified O-glycosylation modified proteins and Tyr sulfate modified proteins. Because the PTM process has non-templated properties, which are determined by the relative activity of the transferase, changes in relative activity result in the organism expressing various protein mixtures of the glycoform (modified with O-glycosylation) and the sulfo form (modified with Tyr sulfation), which are generally not separated by chromatographic separation techniques.
To obtain homogeneous glycoproteins (O-glycosylation modified proteins) and sulfated modified proteins, the main viable pathway is currently the method of chemical synthesis. The technology for obtaining a homogenous glycoprotein by a chemical synthesis method has been mature gradually, and the technology for synthesizing a homogenous sulfated modified protein using the technology is also developing gradually.
The different species of hirudins found at present differ somewhat in amino acid sequence, and it is thought that hirudins undergo mutation to develop several variants. Among them, HIRV1, an european pharmaceutical hirudin, was entered into clinical studies as an anticoagulant in unmodified form and was found to exhibit a certain inhibition of human thrombin activity (C.C.Liu, E.Brustad, W.Liu, P.G.Schultz, J.Am.Chem.Soc.,2007,129,10648-10649.). It is believed that if tyrosine sulfation modified hirudin HIRV1 could be obtained and the synthetic yield of sulfation modified hirudin HIRV1 in the chemical synthesis process was improved by optimizing the synthesis process, this would have a significant impact on the improvement of the anticoagulation activity in the clinical studies of hirudin HIRV1 and the reduction of the clinical study costs. Therefore, there is a need to develop a synthetic method which is convenient to synthesize and purify, can be synthesized in a modularized manner and has a considerable yield, so as to efficiently prepare the uniform hirudin HIRV1 with sulfation modification.
