Computational Protein Design to Reengineer Stromal Cell– Derived Factor-1α Generates an Effective and Translatable Angiogenic Polypeptide Analog by William Hiesinger, Jose Manuel Perez-Aguilar, Pavan Atluri, Nicole A. Marotta, John R. Frederick, J. Raymond Fitzpatrick, Ryan C. McCormick, Jeffrey R. Muenzer, Elaine C. Yang, Rebecca D. Levit, Li-Jun Yuan, John W. MacArthur, Jeffery G. Saven, and Y. Joseph Woo Circulation Volume 124(11 suppl 1):S18-S26 September 13, 2011 Copyright © American Heart Association, Inc. All rights reserved. Crystallographic structures of stromal cell–derived factor-1α (SDF)27 and designed model structure of ESA. The different regions of the structure are colored as N-terminal (green), central region (yellow), and C-terminal (magenta). William Hiesinger et al.

Top and side view of model stromal cell–derived factor-1α (SDF) analog peptides using 1-proline (A), 2-proline (B), and 3-proline (C) residues to link the N- and C-termini. William Hiesinger et al. Circulation. 2011;124:S18-S26 Copyright © American Heart Association, Inc. All rights reserved. All of the residues from the ESA loop or linker region (F14, E15, S16, and L20) are located inside favored regions in the Ramachandran plots (bounded by the blue and purple lines), which indicate allowable bond angles.

At 2 weeks, border-zone myocardial tissue samples show increased levels of mouse angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) in the ESA-treated and stromal cell–derived factor-1α (SDF)–treated groups compared with the control group.
