Abstract

Four mutants of human insulin-like growth factor I (hIGF I) have been purified from the conditioned media of yeast transformed with an expression vector containing a synthetic gene for hIGF I altered by site-directed mutagenesis. hIGF I has the sequence Phe-23-Tyr-24-Phe-25 which is homologous to a region in the B-chain of insulin. [Phe23,Phe24,Tyr25]IGF I, in which the sequence is altered to exactly correspond to the homologous sequence in insulin, is equipotent to hIGF I at the types 1 and 2 IGF and insulin receptors. [Leu24]IGF I and [Ser24]IGF I have 32- and 16-fold less affinity than hIGF I at the human placental type 1 IGF receptor, respectively. These peptides are 10- and 2-fold less potent at the placental insulin receptor, respectively. [Leu24]IGF I and [Ser24]IGF I have similarly reduced affinities for the type 1 IGF receptor of rat A10 and mouse L cells. Thus, the importance of the interaction of residue 24 with the receptor is conserved in several species. In three cell-based assays, [Leu24]IGF I and [Ser24]IGF I are full agonists with reduced efficacy compared to hIGF I. Desoctapeptide [Leu24]IGF I, in which the loss of aromaticity at position 24 is combined with the deletion of the carboxyl-terminal D region of hIGF I, has 3-fold lower affinity than [Leu24]IGF I for the type 1 receptor and 2-fold higher affinity for the insulin receptor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
