  • Influenza Virus

    Matsubara T., Sato T., Diamond Electrodes Fundamentals and Applications, 2022.01

     View Summary

    The rapid diagnosis of patients in clinical practice is important for anti-influenza therapy. However, since the sensitivity of conventional rapid diagnostic test kits is low, false-negative results are often produced. Therefore, simple and convenient test kits with high sensitivity are needed in clinical practice. In this chapter, we describe the construction of a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode that terminates with a receptor (sialic acid-containing oligosaccharide chain)-mimicking peptide as well as its performance in the electrochemical detection of human and avian influenza viruses (IFVs).

  • Prevention of amyloid β fibril deposition on the synaptic membrane in the precuneus by ganglioside nanocluster-targeting inhibitors

    Miyamoto E., Hayashi H., Murayama S., Yanagisawa K., Sato T., Matsubara T.

    Rsc Chemical Biology 5 ( 5 ) 459 - 466 2024.04

     View Summary

    Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative condition, is one of the most common causes of dementia. Senile plaques, a hallmark of AD, are formed by the accumulation of amyloid β protein (Aβ), which starts to aggregate before the onset of the disease. Gangliosides, sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids, play a key role in the formation of toxic Aβ aggregates. In membrane rafts, ganglioside-bound complexes (GAβ) act as nuclei for Aβ assembly, suggesting that GAβ is a promising target for AD therapy. The formation of GAβ-induced Aβ assemblies has been evaluated using reconstituted planar lipid membranes composed of synaptosomal plasma membrane (SPM) lipids extracted from human and mouse brains. Although the effects of gangliosides on Aβ accumulation in the precuneus have been established, effects on Aβ fibrils have not been determined. In this study, Aβ<inf>42</inf> fibrils on reconstituted membranes composed of SPM lipids prepared from the precuneus cortex of human autopsied brains were evaluated by atomic force microscopy. In particular, Aβ<inf>42</inf> accumulation, as well as the fibril number and size were higher for membranes with precuneus lipids than for membranes with calcarine cortex lipids. In addition, artificial peptide inhibitors targeting Aβ-sensitive ganglioside nanoclusters cleared Aβ assemblies on synaptic membranes in the brain, providing a novel therapeutic strategy for AD.

  • Cyclization of Peptides Enhances the Inhibitory Activity against Ganglioside-Induced Aβ Fibril Formation

    Miyamoto E., Sato T., Matsubara T.

    ACS Chemical Neuroscience 14 ( 23 ) 4199 - 4207 2023.12

     View Summary

    Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and is the most common cause of dementia. It has been reported that the assembly of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) on the cell membrane is induced by the interaction of the Aβ monomer with gangliosides such as GM1. The ganglioside-bound Aβ (GAβ) complex acts as a seed to promote the toxic assembly of the Aβ fibrils. In a previous study, we found that a GM1 cluster-binding peptide (GCBP) specifically recognizes Aβ-sensitive ganglioside nanoclusters and inhibits the assembly of Aβ on a GM1-containing lipid membrane. In this study, cysteine-substituted double mutants of GCBP were designed and cyclized by intramolecular disulfide bond formation. Affinity assays indicated that one of the cyclic peptides had a higher affinity to a GM1-containing membrane compared to that of GCBP. Furthermore, surface topography analysis indicated that this peptide recognizes GM1 nanoclusters on the lipid membrane. An evaluation of the inhibitory kinetics indicated that the cyclic peptide could inhibit the formation of Aβ fibrils with an IC<inf>50</inf> value of 1.2 fM, which is 10,000-fold higher than that of GCBP. The cyclic peptide was also shown to have a clearance effect on Aβ fibrils deposited on the lipid membrane and suppressed the formation of toxic Aβ assemblies. Our results indicate that the cyclic peptide that binds to the Aβ-sensitive ganglioside nanocluster is a potential novel inhibitor of ganglioside-induced Aβ assembly.

  • Effects of the Magnetic Orientation of M13 Bacteriophage on Phage Display Selection

    Wang S., Uchida N., Ueno K., Matsubara T., Sato T., Aida T., Ishida Y.

    Chemistry A European Journal 29 ( 63 )  2023.11

    ISSN  09476539

     View Summary

    Although phage display selection using a library of M13 bacteriophage has become a powerful tool for finding peptides that bind to target materials on demand, a remaining concern of this method is the interference by the M13 main body, which is a huge filament >10<sup>3</sup> times larger than the displayed peptide, and therefore would nonspecifically adhere to the target or sterically inhibit the binding of the displayed peptide. Meanwhile, filamentous phages are known to be orientable by an external magnetic field. If M13 filaments are magnetically oriented during the library selection, their angular arrangement relative to the target surface would be changed, being expected to control the interference by the M13 main body. This study reports that the magnetic orientation of M13 filaments vertical to the target surface significantly affects the selection. When the target surface was affinitive to the M13 main body, this orientation notably suppressed the nonspecific adhesion. Furthermore, when the target surface was less affinitive to the M13 main body and intrinsically free from the nonspecific adhesion, this orientation drastically changed the population of M13 clones obtained through library selection. The method of using no chemicals but only a physical stimulus is simple, clean, and expected to expand the scope of phage display selection.

  • Endocytosis-Like Vesicle Fission Mediated by a Membrane-Expanding Molecular Machine Enables Virus Encapsulation for In Vivo Delivery

     View Summary

    Biological membranes are functionalized by membrane-associated protein machinery. Membrane-associated transport processes, such as endocytosis, represent a fundamental and universal function mediated by membrane-deforming protein machines, by which small biomolecules and even micrometer-size substances can be transported via encapsulation into membrane vesicles. Although synthetic molecules that induce dynamic membrane deformation have been reported, a molecular approach enabling membrane transport in which membrane deformation is coupled with substance binding and transport remains critically lacking. Here, we developed an amphiphilic molecular machine containing a photoresponsive diazocine core (AzoMEx) that localizes in a phospholipid membrane. Upon photoirradiation, AzoMEx expands the liposomal membrane to bias vesicles toward outside-in fission in the membrane deformation process. Cargo components, including micrometer-size M13 bacteriophages that interact with AzoMEx, are efficiently incorporated into the vesicles through the outside-in fission. Encapsulated M13 bacteriophages are transiently protected from the external environment and therefore retain biological activity during distribution throughout the body via the blood following administration. This research developed a molecular approach using synthetic molecular machinery for membrane functionalization to transport micrometer-size substances and objects via vesicle encapsulation. The molecular design demonstrated in this study to expand the membrane for deformation and binding to a cargo component can lead to the development of drug delivery materials and chemical tools for controlling cellular activities.

  • Dihydromaniwamycin E, a Heat-Shock Metabolite from Thermotolerant Streptomyces sp. JA74, Exhibiting Antiviral Activity against Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Viruses

    ISSN  01633864

     View Summary

    Dihydromaniwamycin E (1), a new maniwamycin derivative featuring an azoxy moiety, has been isolated from the culture extract of thermotolerant Streptomyces sp. JA74 along with the known analogue maniwamycin E (2). Compound 1 is produced only by cultivation of strain JA74 at 45 °C, and this type of compound has been previously designated a "heat shock metabolite (HSM)" by our research group. Compound 2 is detected as a production-enhanced metabolite at high temperature. Structures of 1 and 2 are elucidated by NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. The absolute structure of 1 is determined after the total synthesis of four stereoisomers. Though the absolute structure of 2 has been proposed to be the same as the structure of maniwamycin D, the NMR and the optical rotation value of 2 are in agreement with those of maniwamycin E. Therefore, this study proposes a structural revision of maniwamycins D and E. Compounds 1 and 2 show inhibitory activity against the influenza (H1N1) virus infection of MDCK cells, demonstrating IC<inf>50</inf>values of 25.7 and 63.2 μM, respectively. Notably, 1 and 2 display antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, when used to infect 293TA and VeroE6T cells, with 1 and 2 showing IC<inf>50</inf>values (for infection of 293TA cells) of 19.7 and 9.7 μM, respectively. The two compounds do not exhibit cytotoxicity in these cell lines at those IC<inf>50</inf>concentrations.
