Tran TTN, Tran DP, Nguyen TMA, Tran TH, Phan NNA, Nguyen VC, Nguyen VT, Bowie JH Journal of peptide science : an official publication of the European Peptide SocietyJ Pept SciVirtual screening and rational design of antioxidant peptides based on tryptophyllin L structures isolated from the Litoria rubella frog.e338010.1002/psc.3380Discovery of natural antioxidants has been carried out for decades relying mainly on experimental approaches that are commonly associated with time and cost demanding biochemical assays. The maturation of quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) modelling has provided an alternative approach for searching and designing antioxidant compounds with alleviated costs. As a contribution to this approach, this work aimed to establish a fragment-based 3D-QSAR procedure to discover and design potential antioxidants based on tryptophyllin L structures isolated from the red tree frog Litoria rubella. A force field and a Gaussian 3D-QSAR model were built to screen for potential antioxidants from tripeptide fragments covering all sequences of tryptophyllin L database. Among those, PWY(NH2 ) corresponding tryptophyllin L 4.1 was predicted to have the highest 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation (ABTS+ ·) scavenging capability. Two newly designed peptides PYW and PYW(NH2 ) together with PWY(NH2 ), tryptophyllin L 4.1, and the reference peptide PWY were synthesized and subjected to two antioxidant assays including ABTS scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power assays. Although the experimental TEAC values of the five peptides were roughly similar to those from predictions, the activity order was not in agreement with the predictions. The dissimilarities were accounted by the difference in the experimental procedures, the deviation of modelling regression, and the synergetic effect of structural and experimental features. The ABTS radical scavenging assays revealed that all the tested peptides were strong ABTS+ · scavengers with the antioxidant capabilities approximately twice as high as trolox and higher than glutathione. The ferric reducing activities of the peptides were, on the other hand, much weaker than that of trolox suggesting different antioxidant mechanisms inserted by trolox and the peptides. This work was a demonstration that 3D-QSAR methods can be employed in conjunction with experimental methods to effectively detect and design antioxidant peptides.© 2021 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.TranThi Thanh NhaTTNhttps://orcid.org/0000-0003-4792-6540Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, 12 Nguyen Van Bao, Ho Chi Minh City, 700000, Vietnam.TranDinh PhienDPDepartment of Chemistry and Environment, Vietnam-Russia Tropical Centre, 63 Nguyen Van Huyen, Nghia Do, Cau Giay, Ha Noi, 11307, Vietnam.NguyenThi Minh AnhTMAFaculty of Chemical Engineering, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, 12 Nguyen Van Bao, Ho Chi Minh City, 700000, Vietnam.TranThai HoangTHFaculty of Chemical Engineering, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, 12 Nguyen Van Bao, Ho Chi Minh City, 700000, Vietnam.PhanNu Ng?c AnhNNAFaculty of Chemical Engineering, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, 12 Nguyen Van Bao, Ho Chi Minh City, 700000, Vietnam.NguyenVan CuongVCFaculty of Chemical Engineering, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, 12 Nguyen Van Bao, Ho Chi Minh City, 700000, Vietnam.NguyenVan TrongVTFaculty of Chemical Engineering, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, 12 Nguyen Van Bao, Ho Chi Minh City, 700000, Vietnam.BowieJohn HJHFaculty of Science, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, 5000, Australia.engIndustrial University of Ho Chi Minh City 64/H?-?HCN; Code No. 21/1H03Journal Article20211114EnglandJ Pept Sci95063091075-2617IMABTS radical scavengingGaussian 3D-QSARantioxidantsforce fieldvirtual screening2021100420210817202110182021111573120211116602021111660aheadofprint3477909410.1002/psc.3380EvolutionDeclining amphibians might be evolving increased reproductive effort in the face of devastating disease.2555-256710.1111/evo.14327The devastating infectious disease chytridiomycosis has caused declines of amphibians across the globe, yet some populations are persisting and even recovering. One understudied effect of wildlife disease is changes in reproductive effort. Here, we aimed to understand if the disease has plastic effects on reproduction and if reproductive effort could evolve with disease endemism. We compared the effects of experimental pathogen exposure (trait plasticity) and population-level disease history (evolution in trait baseline) on reproductive effort using gametogenesis as a proxy in the declining and endangered frog Litoria verreauxii alpina. We found that unexposed males from disease-endemic populations had higher reproductive effort, which is consistent with an evolutionary response to chytridiomycosis. We also found evidence of trait plasticity, where males and females were affected differently by infection: pathogen exposed males had higher reproductive effort (larger testes), whereas females had reduced reproductive effort (smaller and fewer developed eggs) regardless of the population of origin. Infectious diseases can cause plastic changes in the reproductive effort at an individual level, and population-level disease exposure can result in changes to baseline reproductive effort; therefore, individual- and population-level effects of disease should be considered when designing management and conservation programs for threatened and declining species.© 2021 The Authors.
