TheS. cerevisiaea-factor, YIIKGVFWDPAC(s-farnesyl)-OCH3, is one of two peptide mating pheromones which mediate cell-cell communication inS. cerevisiae.We previously reported that replacing Gly5withd-Ala led to a 4–6 fold increase in activity while thel-Ala5homolog was 4 to 16-fold less active than the wildtype. To clarify the structural implications of these findings, we conformationally restricted the center of the pheromone by inserting γ-lactam constraints in place of either the Lys4Gly5or the Gly5Val6dipeptide unit. Incorporation of (R)-3-amino-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetic acid in place of Lys4Gly5led to a super-active agonist which exhibited a 32-fold higher bioactivity than that of thea-factor. In contrast, an analog with (S)-3-amino-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetic acid in place of Gly5Val6is about 30 to 60-fold less active than thea-factor. These data strongly suggest that thea-factor adopts a reverse turn as its bioactive conformation.
