Abstract
The determination of protein-protein interactions and their role in diverse pathophysiological processes is a promising approach to the identification of molecules of therapeutic potential. This paper describes the identification of peptidic CCR5 receptor ligands as potential drug leads against HIV-1 infection using in vitro evolution based on phage display. A phage-displayed peptide library was used to select for anti-CCR5 peptide. Further in vitro evolution of the peptide by exon shuffling was performed to identify peptides with optimized characteristics for CCR5 receptor. This peptide inhibited HIV coreceptor activity in a cell fusion assay with an IC50 of 5 microM. It did not exhibit either agonistic or antagonistic activity on CCR5 in the concentration range used. To our knowledge, this is a first report that describes the identification of peptide ligands specific to the CCR5 receptor from a phage-displayed library and the maturation of the selected peptide sequence by gene shuffling.
