Extract of Linum usitatissimum seeds was analyzed by ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS. The analysis confirms the presence of previously reported cyclolinopeptides: CLA (c(Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe-Leu-Ile-Ile-Leu-Val) and CLB (c(Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe-Val-Ile-Met-Ile-Leu)). Cyclolinopeptides CLD and CLE, which contain methionine oxide, were detected in small quantities only. These peptides likely result from the oxidation of their precursors, not reported previously: CLD' (c(Pro-Phe-Phe-Trp-Ile-Met-Leu-Leu)) and CLE' (c(Pro-Leu-Phe-Ile-Met-Leu-Val-Phe)), present at higher concentrations in unoxidized extract. Two new cyclic octapeptides: CLF (c(Pro-Phe-Phe-Trp-Val-Met-Leu-Met)) and CLG (c(Pro-Phe-Phe-Trp-Ile-Met-Leu-Met)) were detected and their sequences were proposed on the basis of CID experiments and similarity with those of CLD'.

Recently Boratyński & Roy (Glycoconjugate J., 1998, 15, 131) described a fast and convenient procedure for the synthesis of glycoconjugates. In the present study we used ESI-MS and circular dichroism as tools to analyze non-enzymatic glycation prod- ucts of proteins and peptides. We discuss influence of reaction conditions on the rate of glycation of lysozyme. We analyze for the first time collision induced dissociation spectra of the obtained peptide conjugates.

Our previous studies showed that the nonapeptide fragment of HLA-DQ of the sequence H-Thr-Pro-Gln-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-Thr-OH, located in the β164-172 loop, strongly suppresses the humoral and cellular immune responses, while its shorter analogs, H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-OH, H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-OH and H-Gln-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-OH show only a weak stimulatory activity in respect to the humoral immunological response. These fragments contain the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence, known for its importance for cellular association phenomena. Based on the crystal structure of HLA-DR1, we also designed and synthesized a cyclic analog H-Cys-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-Tyr-Cys-OH with restricted conformation, which strongly suppresses the immune response and selectively inhibits the αvβ3 integrin, suggesting that the mechanism of the immunosuppressory action of the peptide is associated with inhibition of the integrin. In this paper we present the design and synthesis of the cyclodimeric peptide, Arg-Gly-Asp-Arg-Gly-Asp, which is also known as a selective αvβ3 inhibitor. The synthesized peptide strongly suppresses both the humoral and cellular immune response. The results support our hypothesis that the immunomodulatory activity of HLA-DQ fragments may be connected with their interactions with some particular integrins on the cell surface.

We established, that crystalline hydrate of 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-arabino-hexos-2-ulo-2,6-pyranose is a new, convenient and stable reagent for solid phase synthesis of peptide derived Amadori products. The structure of the title compound was studied by X-ray analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and high resolution ESI-MS. The crystal structure indicated the existence of two symmetry-independent molecules that were not connected with hydrogen bonds. A comparison with previously reported 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fructopyranose revealed, that these two compounds are isostructural. [...]

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and vaccinia virus protein C10L share a VTXFYF motif, with X being Lys or Arg residue, respectively. Peptides of such sequence compete successfully with IL-1 for the cellular receptor. A pair of complementary peptides, based on the Siemion's hypothesis on the periodicity of the genetic code (QWLNIN and QWANIN), and another pair, in which, following the Root- Bernstein theory, Lys was used as complementary amino acid to Phe (QWLKIK and QWAKIK), were investigated for the peptide-antipeptide interactions using mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and circular dichroism (CD) methods. The CD measurements indicated some conformational changes, more pronounced in the Siemion's pairs, however, no heterodimer formation was found by MS. In the region of IL-1 receptor situated close to the position of IL-1Ra in the IL-1Ra-receptor complex, a KQKL motif is present, suggesting a possibility of complementary recognition of the Root-Bernstein type in the IL-1 receptor. The biological activity of the complementary peptides is similar to that of the original ones. They efficiently compete with IL-1 and show moderate immunosuppressory activity in humoral and cellular immune response. The inhibition of the IL-1-IL-1 receptor interaction may result from the complementary peptides acting as mini-receptors with affinity for IL-1.
