Protein-protein interactions are part of a large number of signaling networks and
potential targets for drug development. However, discovering molecules that can
specifically inhibit such interactions is a major challenge. S100B, a
calcium-regulated protein, plays a crucial role in the proliferation of melanoma
cells through protein-protein interactions. In this article, we report the design
and development of a bidentate conformationally constrained peptide against
dimeric S100B based on a natural tight-binding peptide, TRTK-12. The helical
conformation of the peptide was constrained by the substitution of ?-amino
isobutyric acid--an amino acid having high helical propensity--in positions which
do not interact with S100B. A branched bidentate version of the peptide was bound
to S100B tightly with a dissociation constant of 8 nM. When conjugated to a
cell-penetrating peptide, it caused growth inhibition and rapid apoptosis in
melanoma cells. The molecule exerts antiproliferative action through simultaneous
inhibition of key growth pathways, including reactivation of wild-type p53 and
inhibition of Akt and STAT3 phosphorylation. The apoptosis induced by the
bidentate constrained helix is caused by direct migration of p53 to mitochondria.
At moderate intravenous dose, the peptide completely inhibits melanoma growth in
a mouse model without any significant observable toxicity. The specificity was
shown by lack of ability of a double mutant peptide to cause tumor regression at
the same dose level. The methodology described here for direct protein-protein
interaction inhibition may be effective for rapid development of inhibitors
against relatively weak protein-protein interactions for de novo drug
development.
