Oxometalates as artificial proteases: sequence versus region selectivity
Inorganic chemistry
Protein chemistry
« Why is protein hydrolysis important? »
« What is wrong with trypsin? »
- limited solvent compatibility- unreactive toward IDPs- small fragments

Often proposed solution:
The use of artificial metallopeptidases
metal ions as hydrolytic active centers
Current problems:
Low reactivity at physiological pH and temperature
Non specific interaction / Non selective cleavage
“The development of alternative cleavage strategies would greatly facilitate the study of protein structure and function.”
Grant 2006
Need for complementary and versatile cleavage agents

Sequence specific hydrolysis at Asp-X bonds
Interaction occurs at many positions and thus is not selective
Reaction only occurs when an Asp-X bond is accesible and thus is sequence selective
8
Side chain assistence mechanism
Polarization of the carbonyl due to [MoO4]2- binding & Internal nucleophilic attack of the Asp side chain

SPECIFIC INTERACTION
Polyoxotungstates as more tunable alternative
Lewis active metal
HYDROLYTIC ACTIVITY
- Higher stability (vs. Oxomolybdate)- Known region specific interaction with protein surfaces- Not reactive as such!!!

Reaction occurs- at pH 7.4- at Asp and Gluresidues
* Ala257-Asp258* Lys313-Asp314* Cys392-Glu393
regions of mixed charge, hydrolysis downstream from acidic residue
Is X-Asp/Glu hydrolysis mechanistically related to Asp-X cleavage?
Proposed assistence mechanism- does only dominate < pH 6- does only occur for Asp(not for Glu)
19
Different mechanisms for oxometalate versus metal-substituted POM reactivity
Non-specific binding
Sequence selective hydrolysis,via side chain assistence mechanism
Region selective interaction
Hydrolysis without side chain assistance, presumably via external water nucleophile delivery
20
(Poly)oxoanions hold promise as artificial proteases
Evidence for * Sequence selective Asp-X protein hydrolysis in the presence of oxomolybdate & * Region selective protein cleavage in the presence of metal-substituted polyoxotungstates
Future perspective
« Hydrolysis of membrane proteins and IDPs possible? »
