Abstract in Portuguese
A proteólise limitada de certas proteínas leva à liberação de peptídeos opióides endógenos. Vários relatos apontam que peptídeos derivados da hemoglobina como hemorfinas e hemopressinas têm efeito antinociceptivo, pela atividade de modulação de receptores acoplados a proteínas G. No presente estudo, um ensaio de captura do substrato (ECS) foi combinado com a marcação isotópica e LC-MS/MS para identificar e caracterizar um novo fragmento da hemoglobina que se liga à EP24.15. O peptídeo AGH, identificado neste trabalho, inibe respostas de hipernocicepção periféricas através de receptores opióides do tipo m . A persistência do peptídeo AGH no tecido nervoso perfundido sugere relevância fisiológica. Embora o AGH seja derivado de hemoglobina e tenha atividade opióide, falta-lhe a sequência chave das hemorfinas (YPWT), indicando que ele pode pertencer a uma nova classe de peptídeos derivados da hemoglobina. Adicionalmente, o AGH modula as interações entre as proteínas 14-3-3e e EP24.15 in vitro, podendo estar relacionado com a secreção não convencional da EP24.15.

Abstract in English
Limited proteolysis of certain proteins leads to the release of endogenous opioid peptides. Several reports have shown that hemoglobin-derived peptides such as hemorphins and hemopressins have an antinociceptive effect by modulating GPCR activity. In the present study, a substrate capture assay (SCA) was combined with isotopic labeling and LC-MS/MS to identify and characterize a new bioactive hemoglobin fragment that binds to EP24.15. AGH, a new peptide identified in this work, inhibits peripheral hyperalgesic responses through m opioid receptors (MOR). The persistence of AGH peptide in perfused nervous tissue suggests its physiological relevance. Although AGH is derived from hemoglobin and it is a peptide with opioid activity, it lacks the key sequence of hemorphins (YPWT), indicating that it is part of a new class of peptides derived from hemoglobin. Additionally, the AGH modulates interactions between 14-3-3e and EP24.15 proteins in vitro and may be related to the unconventional EP24.15 secretion.
