Probing the α‐Helical Structural Stability of Stapled p53 Peptides: Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Analysis

Abstract

Reactivation of the p53 cell apoptosis pathway through inhibition of the p53‐hDM2 interaction is a viable approach to suppress tumor growth in many human cancers and stabilization of the helical structure of synthetic p53 analogs via a hydrocarbon cross‐link (staple) has been found to lead to increased potency and inhibition of protein–protein binding (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 129: 5298). However, details of the structure and dynamic stability of the stapled peptides are not well understood. Here, we use extensive all‐atom molecular dynamics simulations to study a series of stapled α‐helical peptides over a range of temperatures in solution. The peptides are found to exhibit substantial variations in predicted α‐helical propensities that are in good agreement with the experimental observations. In addition, we find significant variation in local structural flexibility of the peptides with the position of the linker, which appears to be more closely related to the observed differences in activity than the absolute α‐helical stability. These simulations provide new insights into the design of α‐helical stapled peptides and the development of potent inhibitors of α‐helical protein–protein interfaces.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
