Beyond Antibodies: Development of a Novel Protein Scaffold Based on Human Chaperonin 10. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Human Chaperonin 10 (hCpn10) is being used as a new scaffold to present important peptides for therapy and diagnostics.
  • Researchers found an optimal peptide linker (P1) that helps form a stable heptamer structure of hCpn10, and tested two targeting peptides: CE76 for Factor VIIa and CP7 for CD44.
  • Functional studies revealed CE76 has a high affinity for Factor VIIa (3 nM) and is a strong inhibitor of coagulation, significantly improving clotting time compared to existing peptides, while CP7 effectively binds to CD44 on cancer cells, showcasing hCpn10's versatility as a peptide presentation scaffold.

Article Abstract

Human Chaperonin 10 (hCpn10) was utilised as a novel scaffold for presenting peptides of therapeutic and diagnostic significance. Molecular dynamic simulations and protein sizing analyses identified a peptide linker (P1) optimal for the formation of the quarternary hCpn10 heptamer structure. hCpn10 scaffold displaying peptides targeting Factor VIIa (CE76) and CD44 (CP7) were expressed in E. coli. Functional studies of CE76 indicated nanomolar affinity for Factor VIIa (3 nM) similar to the E-76 peptide (6 nM), with undetectable binding to Factor X. CE76 was a potent inhibitor of FX activity (via inhibition of Factor VIIa) and prolonged clot formation 4 times longer than achieved by E-76 peptide as determined by prothrombin time (PT) assays. This improvement in clotting function by CE76, highlights the advantages of a heptamer-based scaffold for improving avidity by multiple peptide presentation. In another example of hCPn10 utility as a scaffold, CP7 bound to native CD44 overexpressed on cancer cells and bound rCD44 with high affinity (K 9.6 nM). The ability to present various peptides through substitution of the hCpn10 mobile loop demonstrates its utility as a novel protein scaffold.
