title: A ring-reversed analog of atrial natriuretic peptide retains receptor binding, guanylate cyclase stimulation.
abstract: We have prepared an atrial natriuretic peptide analog, ANP[13-27][1-12], in which the connectivity of the disulfide-linked ring has been reversed by formally cleaving the ring and cyclizing the N- and C-terminal tails. This analog, which retains many of the spatial relationships of the native molecule, binds to both ANP-A and ANP-C receptor subtypes, and triggers the production of cyclic-GMP by ANP-A. ANP-C binding of ANP[13-27][1- 12] is roughly equipotent to that of ANP itself, although the ring cleavage falls within the putative ANP-C binding domain. ANP[13-27][1-8], a truncated analog in which much of this binding domain has been removed, surprisingly maintains a high affinity for ANP-C; however, this peptide has lost the ability to activate the ANP-A-linked guanylate cyclase.
