METHODS We synthesized the PACAP/VIP hybrid peptides by a simultaneous multiple solid-phase pep- tide synthesizer using the Fmoc strategy. The peptides were tested on the isolated guinea pig gallbladder us- ing an improved horizontal-type organ bath. RESULTS VIP induced relaxation of gallbladder smooth muscle strips,while PACAP27 contracted them. Positions 4,5,9 and 24~26 can be replaced without significant loss in activity. [Leu^(13)]-PACAP27, a substitution in the α-helix domain,also had no signifi- cant loss in activity (P>0.05). It was more potent than [Gly^8]-and [DAsp^8]-PACAP27 and could substi- tute peptides at position 21. Des-[His^1] and [Ala^6]- PACAP27 had no activity at 10^(-7) mol/L. [Gly^8]-, [DAsp^8]-,[Phe^(21)]- and [Pro^(21)]-PACAP27 at 10^(-7)mol/L were about 25% of PACAP27 at 10^(-7) mol/L (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion,for the physiological action of PACAP in guinea pig gallbladder,the N-termi- nal disordered region is more important than another region.展开更多

[Method] The gene that encodes fusion protein PACAP-PTD was cloned into the expression vector pKYB to construct recombinant expression vector pKYB-PACAP-PTD, which was then transformed into E. coli ER2566. The fusion protein consisting of PACAP-PTD, intein and chitin was expressed under the induction of IPTG. Finally, the target fusion protein PACAP-PTD was purified with IMPACT system ( Intein Mediated Purification with an Affinity of chitin-binding Tag), and its activities to cross blood-brain barrier and to promote cell proliferation were measured. [ Result~ The molecular weight of the fusion protein PACAP-PTD determined with laser time-of-flight mass spectrometry was con- sistent with the theoretical value. In addition, the protein could effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and promote cell proliferation as well. [ Conclusion] The construction and preparation of the fusion protein PACAP-PTD not only lays foundation for further study on its biological function, but also improves the route of PACAP administration, and thus expands its scope of application.展开更多
