Abstract

DPL (http://www.peptide-ligand.cn/) is a comprehensive database of peptide ligand (DPL). DPL1.0 holds 1044 peptide ligand entries and provides references for the study of the polypeptide platform. The data were collected from PubMed-NCBI, PDB, APD3, CAMPR3, etc. The lengths of the base sequences are varied from 3 to78. DPL database has 923 linear peptides and 88 cyclic peptides. The functions of peptides collected by DPL are very wide. It includes 540 entries of antiviral peptides (including SARS-CoV-2), 55 entries of signal peptides, 48 entries of protease inhibitors, 45 entries of anti-hypertension, 37 entries of anticancer peptides, etc. There are 270 different kinds of peptide targets. All peptides in DPL have clear binding targets. Most of the peptides and receptors have 3D structures experimentally verified or predicted by CYCLOPS, I-TASSER and SWISS-MODEL. With the rapid development of the COVID-2019 epidemic, this database also collects the research progress of peptides against coronavirus. In conclusion, DPL is a unique resource, which allows users easily to explore the targets, different structures as well as properties of peptides.

Small peptide ligands have been highlighted over the past few decades on account of their particular advantages, such as less cost, little immunogenic responses and more stable physicochemical properties (1, 2). Especially, peptide ligands’ chemical structures are highly compatible with those of the target proteins (3).

Peptide–protein interactions are ubiquitous in living cells and are an important part of the entire protein–protein interaction network. These interactions have attracted increasing attention due to their role in signaling and regulation and are therefore attractive targets for computational structure modeling. Peptide-mediated interactions are a major target for drug design because they are primarily present in signaling and regulatory networks. A reliable data set of non-redundant protein–peptide complexes is an indispensable basis for modeling and design, but current data sets of protein–peptide interactions tend to be biased towards specific types of interactions or limited to interactions with small ligands (4).

Peptide–protein interactions can happen in a lot of interaction networks and only need a small interface (5). As a result, these small molecules and inhibitory peptides are attractive drug targets (6, 7). This means that the synthetic peptides can be designed to change the specific interaction of disease or other signal pathways (8). Besides the peptide structure stored in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) (9), there are about 20 new items to show the interaction of small peptides each month (10). As the new and interesting structure of the protein–peptide complex is growing, our understanding of the interaction mechanism between protein and peptide also should be improved. Peptides tend to bind at the largest pocket available on the protein surface (11). To understand and analyze the interaction mechanism of protein and peptide, establishing a reliable database of peptide ligands is necessary. There are many protein–peptide interaction database based on sequences, such as Phospho.ELM (12), DOMINO (13), Pep Bank (14), SCANSITE (15), APD (16), BIOPEP (17) and ASPD (18). However, the database of peptide ligand (DPL) is a set of 1044 peptides for non-redundant protein–peptide complexes based on different binding targets.

Previous studies have reported combined with multiple peptide or protein with the heterogeneity of the structures of the domain (e.g. there are at least 13 different types of peptides was reported to SH3 domain structure (19)). For a detailed analysis of similar proteins and the interaction between different peptides, it needs a lot of data on the structure and ligand of protein–peptide complexes. To solve this problem, we created a DPL.

This DPL project has built a clear target of the peptide ligands database through the literature summary, including specific peptide information 1044, which provides a reference for the study of the polypeptide platform. All the peptides have a clear binding target, have to be experimentally verified and collect the 3D structures of all ligands and receptors. DPL is a unique resource, which allows users easily to explore the different structures as well as properties of peptides.

Construction and content

Data collection

Database of peptide ligand in DPL was collected from PubMed-NCBI, PDB, the 3rd version of the APD (APD3) and Collection of Anti-Microbial Peptides(CAMPR3) by using keywords such as ‘antibacterial peptide’, ‘antiviral peptide’, ‘antifungal peptide’, ‘antiparasitic peptide’, ‘anticancer peptide’, ‘insecticidal peptide’, ‘anti-inflammatory peptides’, ‘anti-toxic peptides’, ‘protease inhibitors peptides’, ‘antioxidant peptides’ ‘anti-hypertension peptides’ or ‘signal peptides’ (12–18).

The most influential databases in this field are PDB, APD3, CAMP3, etc. This resource is powered by the PDB archive-information about the 3D shapes of proteins, nucleic acids and complex assemblies that help students and researchers understand all aspects of biomedicine and agriculture, from protein synthesis to health and disease (23). APD3 reported 2619 peptides. New web pages for FAQs, interesting AMP discovery timeline, classification, nomenclature, AMP facts, My tools, Sequence download and APD News have been created (16). A unified peptide classification system has been proposed and introduced in APD. Besides, the prediction interface has been improved and additional peptide properties can be calculated in APD. CAMPR3 has been created to expand and accelerate antimicrobial peptide family based studies. Antimicrobial peptides have family specific sequence composition which can be mined to discover and design novel AMPs (24). In a word, each database has its advantages and disadvantages.

Peptide ligands can simulate protein–protein interactions and have large binding interfaces with receptors; thus, they possess much higher binding affinity and specificity than small-molecule ligands. Peptides offer a potent resource for targeted drug delivery. Compared to protein ligands, peptides have many advantages, including better penetration, ease of synthesis and lower immunogenicity and cost. Large-scale synthesis of peptides presents a convenient and economical option for drug use; also, due to the abundant chemical groups in peptides, they are suitable for manipulation.

However, this article briefly introduces the DPL database to collect many peptide ligands for users. This DPL database has built a clear target of the peptide ligands database through the literature summary, including specific peptide information 1044, which provides a reference for the study of the polypeptide platform. All the information of peptides and receptors collected in DPL provides material for molecular docking and virtual screening in future. DPL database will build the virtual peptide library through the computer program and set up a molecular docking platform and analyze the differences between global and local molecular docking results in next version. All the peptides and targets have a clear binding target. 16 items anti-coronavirus peptides also were added in DPL, it provides technical support for the target screening and research of vaccines and drugs. DPL database is a unique resource and still being updated, which allows users easily to explore the different structures as well as properties of peptides.

Conclusion

With 1044 entries, DPL is an open-access, manually curated database with a clear binding target, be experimentally verified, and collect the 3D structure of all peptide ligands and receptors. To the best of authors’ knowledge, DPL is the only database available to the public, which provides comprehensive information on DPL, especially provides structures of all peptides. User-friendly interfaces have been established to facilitate peptides searching, browsing and alignment. DPL should help promote our understanding of peptide ligands and should provide a valuable resource for the development of peptide application. We believe that the DPL will be very useful for scientists in peptide research.
