PTBP1[1]
PTBP1-RNA-binding inhibitor P6 targets polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1), a key RNA-binding protein involved in pre-mRNA splicing regulation. PTBP1 binds to RNA through its RNA recognition motifs (RRMs). The stapled peptide P6 inhibits alternative splicing events regulated by PTBP1 by allosterically inhibiting PTBP1-RNA-binding, thereby disrupting the protein-RNA interaction. This mechanism allows for selective modulation of PTBP1-dependent splicing. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, PTBP1-RNA-binding inhibitor P6 TFA is a stapled peptide inhibitor of the splicing factor PTBP1. It inhibits alternative splicing events regulated by PTBP1. The all-hydrocarbon staple stabilizes the alpha-helical conformation, which is critical for binding to PTBP1 and disrupting its RNA-binding function. The peptide is a valuable tool for studying post-transcriptional gene regulation and RNA-protein interactions.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, PTBP1-RNA-binding inhibitor P6 TFA can be used to study the functional roles of PTBP1 in cellular differentiation, oncogenesis, and neurological disorders. By inhibiting PTBP1-mediated alternative splicing, the peptide can modulate gene expression programs that are dependent on PTBP1. It has potential for therapeutic applications in diseases where PTBP1 dysregulation is implicated, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A cell-free RNA-binding assay is used to measure PTBP1-RNA interaction. Purified PTBP1 protein (50-100 nM) is incubated with increasing concentrations (0.1-100 uM) of P6 peptide in binding buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 2 mM DTT). A fluorescently labeled RNA probe containing a PTBP1-binding site (e.g., a polypyrimidine tract) is added. Fluorescence polarization (FP) is measured. The IC50 for RNA-binding inhibition is calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
PTBP1-RNA-binding inhibitor P6 TFA is used in cell-based splicing assays. HeLa or HEK293 cells are seeded in 6-well plates. The peptide is delivered into cells using a cell-penetrating peptide fusion or by direct addition if the peptide is cell-permeable (the stapled peptide may have enhanced cellular uptake). After 24-48 hours, total RNA is extracted and reverse transcribed. RT-PCR is performed using primers flanking PTBP1-regulated exons (e.g., exon 10 of PKM gene). The ratio of spliced isoforms is analyzed by gel electrophoresis.
|
| Animal Protocol |
PTBP1-RNA-binding inhibitor P6 TFA can be tested in mouse xenograft models of PTBP1-dependent cancers. Female BALB/c nude mice are implanted subcutaneously with cancer cells (e.g., glioblastoma or lung cancer cells). When tumors reach 100-150 mm3, mice are randomized and treated intraperitoneally with the P6 peptide (5-20 mg/kg, dissolved in PBS or 10% DMSO/PBS) daily for 14-21 days. Tumor volume is measured every 2-3 days. At the end of the study, tumors are excised, and PTBP1-dependent splicing changes are analyzed by RT-PCR.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PTBP1-RNA-binding inhibitor P6 TFA is a stapled peptide with a molecular weight of approximately 1624 Da. The peptide has the sequence Ac-NQARAQAALQAVNR-NH2 with a stapled ring (Ala3-Ala7, Ala7-Ala11). The TFA salt ensures solubility. The product should be stored as a powder at -20degC. The all-hydrocarbon staple enhances peptide stability and cell permeability. Specific PK parameters have not been reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicity data for PTBP1-RNA-binding inhibitor P6 TFA are available. As a research-grade peptide, it is used at low concentrations (uM range). Based on the roles of PTBP1 in normal cellular processes, prolonged or high-dose inhibition may cause adverse effects, but these have not been systematically studied. Standard safety precautions for peptide handling should be followed.
