| Abstract | A truncated form of the Agouti-related protein (AgRP), a member of the cystine-knot family, has shown promise as a scaffold for engineering novel peptides with new molecular recognition properties. In this study, we replaced a constrained six amino acid loop in AgRP with a nine amino acid loop containing an Arg-Gly-Asp integrin recognition motif, and randomized the neighboring residues to create a library of approximately 20 million AgRP variants. We displayed the AgRP mutants as fusions on the surface of yeast and used high-throughput fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate peptides that bound specifically to the platelet integrin (IIb)ß(3), a clinically important target for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis. These AgRP peptides had equilibrium dissociation (K(D)) constants for (IIb)ß(3) integrin ranging from 60 to 90 nM, and did not bind to (v)ß(3), (v)ß(5), or (5)ß(1) integrins. Using an alternate library screening strategy, we identified AgRP peptides that bound to both (IIb)ß(3) and (v)ß(3) integrins with K(D) values ranging from 40 to 70 nM and 20 to 30 nM, respectively, and did not bind to (v)ß(5) or (5)ß(1) integrins. Unique consensus sequences were identified within both series of AgRP peptides suggesting alternative molecular recognition events that dictate different integrin binding specificities. In addition, the engineered AgRP peptides prevented platelet aggregation as well as or slightly better than the FDA-approved cyclic peptide eptifibatide. Collectively, these data demonstrate that cystine-knot peptides can be generated with high affinity and specificity to closely-related integrins, and provide insights into molecular interactions between small, structured peptide ligands and their receptors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
