Cyclization of Short Peptides Designed from Late Embryogenesis Abundant Protein to Improve Stability and Functionality

Abstract: LEA peptides, which are designed based on late embryogenic abundant (LEA) protein sequences, have demonstrated chaperone‐like functions, such as improving drought stress tolerance of Escherichia coli (E. coli). Previous studies have focused on the biological functions of linear LEA peptides. However, the function of cyclic LEA peptide still unknown. This study aimed to explore the cyclic LEA peptides’ bio function like enhance the drought stress tolerance of E. coli by cyclizing the LEA peptide using SICLOPPS (Split Intein Circular Ligation of Peptides and Proteins). The results indicated that cyclization significantly improved the function and extended the potential applications. At the same time, we found that peptides containing numerous lysine residues exhibited reduced performance, which may be due to the exteins’ residues affecting the SICLOPPS efficiency.
