| Abstract: | The lipopeptide FSL-1 [S-(2,3-bispalmitoyloxypropyl)-Cys-Gly-Asp-Pro-Lys-His-Pro-Lys-Ser-Phe, Pam2CGDPKHPKSF] synthesized on the basis of the N-terminal structure of a Mycoplasma salivarium lipoprotein capable of activating normal human gingival fibroblasts to induce the cell surface expression of ICAM-1 revealed the activity to induce production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, IL-6 and IL-8. FSL-1 also activated macrophages to produce TNF-α as the M. fermentans-derived lipopeptide MALP-2 (Pam2CGNNDESNISFKEK), a potent macrophage-activating lipopeptide did. The level of the activity of FSL-1 was higher than that of MALP-2. This result suggests that the difference in the amino acid sequence of the peptide portion affects the activity, because the framework structure other than the amino acid sequence of the former is the same as that of the latter. To determine minimal structural requirements for the activity of FSL-1, the diacylglyceryl Cys and the peptideportions were examined for the activity. Both portions did not reveal the activity. A single amino acid substitution from Phe to Arg and a fatty acid substitution from palmitic acid to stearic acid drastically reduced the activity. The similar results were obtained by the NF-κB reporter activity of FSL-1 to human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells transfected with Toll-like receptor 2 and 6 together with a NF-κB dependent luciferase reporter plasmid. These results suggest that both the diacylglyceryl and peptide portions of FSL-1 are indispensable for the expression of biological activities and for the recognition by Toll-like receptors 2 and 6, and that the recognition of FSL-1 by Toll-like receptors 2 and 6 appears to be hydrophobic. |
