title: Synthesis and characterization of tetramethylrhodaminethiocarbamoyl-(Glu(1))-epidermal mitosis-inhibiting pentapeptide.
abstract: A fluorescent analog of epidermal mitosis-inhibiting pentapeptide (pGlu-Glu-Asp-Ser-Gly) was synthesized by reacting tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate with ring-opened epidermal mitosis-inhibiting pentapeptide. The ring-opening reaction of the pyrrolidone moiety was performed with mild acidic hydrolysis and the product purified by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Tetramethylrhodaminethiocarbamoyl-(Glu(1))-epidermal mitosis-inhibiting pentapeptide was purified by chromatography on Sephadex G-25 and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. After characterization by amino acid analysis, the analog was incubated in presence of A431 cell line to visualize the cellular localization of the epidermal mitosis-inhibiting pentapeptide. The data gave negative results.
