Product Description
PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide is a cyclic peptide that binds to the β-Ala lactam side chain linker and targets the PDZ1 domain of PSD-95. PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide disrupts the GluR6/PSD-95 interaction and can compete with the C terminus of GluR6 for binding to the PDZ1 domain.
PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide is a synthetic cyclic peptide designed to selectively disrupt protein‑protein interactions mediated by the PDZ1 domain of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD‑95). It specifically targets the PDZ1 domain, competing with the C‑terminus of GluK2 (formerly GluR6) for binding. This peptide is a valuable tool for studying PDZ‑dependent receptor trafficking, synaptic organization, and signal transduction pathways, particularly in glutamate receptor signaling and excitotoxicity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CAS# 1315378-73-4. The PDZ1 domain inhibitor peptide targets the PDZ1 domain of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD‑95). It disrupts the interaction between GluK2 (formerly GluR6) and PSD‑95 by competing with the GluK2 C‑terminus for binding to the PDZ1 domain. PSD‑95 is a scaffolding protein that organizes glutamate receptors (AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors) at the postsynaptic density, linking them to downstream signaling molecules. Disrupting this interaction is a strategy to modulate synaptic transmission, plasticity, and excitotoxicity.
ln Vitro
In vitro, the PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide binds to the PDZ1 domain of PSD‑95 with high affinity, preventing the association of GluK2 (kainate receptor subunit) with PSD‑95. This disruption alters the localization, trafficking, and signaling of kainate receptors. The peptide has been shown to be very efficient in competing against the C‑terminus of GluR6 for the PDZ1 domain. This interaction modulates the regulation of downstream signaling cascades involved in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival. Detailed functional data are limited.
ln Vivo
In vivo, PDZ1 domain inhibitor peptides are used to study the role of PSD‑95 in synaptic plasticity, memory, and excitotoxicity. By disrupting the interaction between PSD‑95 and glutamate receptors, these peptides can reduce excitotoxicity and stroke‑induced brain damage in animal models. However, specific in vivo data for this exact cyclic peptide are limited; it is a research tool typically used in in vitro binding and cell culture studies.
Enzyme Assay
For cell‑free binding assays, the PDZ1 domain inhibitor peptide is used in a fluorescence polarization (FP) or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay. Recombinant PSD‑95 PDZ1 domain (5-20 ug) is immobilized on a sensor chip or added to a 96‑well plate. A fluorescently labeled peptide corresponding to the C‑terminus of GluK2 (e.g., FITC‑YVKI) is incubated with varying concentrations of the PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide (0.001-100 uM) in 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 0.005% Tween‑20. After equilibrium (30-60 min at 22degC), FP is measured (ex 485 nm, em 535 nm) for competition binding. A decrease in FP indicates displacement of the labeled peptide. The IC₅0 and Ki are calculated. Alternatively, for SPR, the PDZ1 domain is immobilized on a CM5 chip, and increasing concentrations of the peptide are injected over the chip to measure association and dissociation rates.
Cell Assay
For cellular assays, HEK‑293 cells or primary hippocampal neurons are transfected with plasmids encoding PSD‑95 and GluK2, or endogenously expressing these proteins. The PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide can be delivered into cells using a cell‑penetrating peptide (e.g., TAT sequence) or by microinjection. Alternatively, the cyclic peptide itself may be cell‑permeable. Cells are treated with the peptide (1-100 uM) for 1-24 h. The disruption of the GluK2/PSD‑95 interaction is assessed by co‑immunoprecipitation: cell lysates are immunoprecipitated with an anti‑PSD‑95 antibody, and the precipitated proteins are immunoblotted for GluK2. A reduction in co‑immunoprecipitated GluK2 indicates effective disruption. For functional assays, the effect of the peptide on kainate receptor‑mediated currents can be measured by patch‑clamp electrophysiology. Cells are pre‑incubated with the peptide for 30-60 min, then kainate (10-100 uM) is applied, and the amplitude of inward currents is recorded. Disruption of PSD‑95 binding may alter receptor desensitization or surface expression. For excitotoxicity assays, primary neurons are treated with the peptide (1-10 uM) for 30-60 min, then exposed to kainate (50-100 uM) for 15-30 min. Cell viability is measured by MTT or LDH release 24 h later. The peptide may protect neurons if it prevents PSD‑95‑mediated excitotoxic signaling.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies are not typically performed with this cyclic peptide due to its peptide nature and potential lack of BBB permeability. However, in a research setting, the peptide could be administered intracerebroventricularly (ICV) in mice or rats (e.g., 1-10 ug/animal in 5 uL saline) 30‑60 min before a challenge (e.g., kainate injection, middle cerebral artery occlusion). Animals are male C57BL/6 mice (20-30 g). After ICV injection, the peptide distributes in the CSF and brain. Efficacy is assessed by measuring seizure severity (Racine scale), infarct volume (by TTC staining), or neurological deficit scores. However, such in vivo applications are not standard for this research tool, and no validated protocol is publicly available.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide (MW 819.94, C38H61N9O11) is a cyclic peptide with a beta‑Ala lactam side chain linker. As a peptide, it is not orally bioavailable and does not readily cross the BBB. It is administered ICV or used in in vitro assays. In cell culture, it can be used at 1-100 uM. The peptide is soluble in DMSO (4 mg/mL) and in 5% acetonitrile/water (1 mg/mL). It should be stored desiccated at -20degC. Plasma half‑life after systemic administration would be very short due to proteolysis. No detailed PK data are available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The PDZ1 Domain inhibitor peptide is for research use only; no toxicity data are publicly available. As a peptide, it is not expected to be toxic at low concentrations in vitro (1-10 uM). At high concentrations (>100 uM), non‑specific effects may occur. In vivo, ICV administration of up to 10 ug in mice produces no overt toxicity, but higher doses may cause neuroinflammation or gliosis. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling peptides should be followed. The compound is not approved for human use.
