Abstract
To photomodulate the interaction of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase SH3 domain with a peptide ligand, a cyclic peptide (cyclic-1)with a photolabile side chain-to-side chain linkerwas synthesized. The conformation of cyclic-1 differs from that of the parent linear peptide, but becomes identical by UV-irradiation. Accordingly, the binding affinity of cyclic-1 to the SH3 domain increased upon conversion of the cyclic to a linear flexible structure by irradiation (Kd: 3.4 ± 1.7 and 0.9 ± 0.3mM, respectively). These results confirm the usefulness of a photocleavable peptide for photocontrol of peptide-protein interactions.
