The nonapeptide APRLRFYSL from Aplysia parvula acts as a neurotransmitter locally, upon neurons of the abdominal ganglion and as a hormone by diffusing into the circulating hemolymph and modulating the activity of other organs. It specifically causes contraction of smooth muscle in the ovotestis and expulsion of the egg string.

Definition
Bag cell peptides (BCPs) are a class of small neuropeptides secreted by the bag cell neurons in the marine mollusk Aplysia1. They trigger a series of reproductive behavior in this mollusk that finally culminates in egg-laying1.
Discovery
BCPs were originally identified in the bag cell extracts of abdominal ganglion of mature Aplysia that were obtained in Venice, CA2. They were isolated based on their ability to cause bag cell excitation2.
Classification
Bag cell specific gene that encodes for the precursor form of the egg laying hormone also contains sequences that encode several small BCPs: a-BCP, b-BCP, g-BCP2, d-BCP3,4 and e-BCP5.
Structural Characteristics
a-BCP is a 9 amino acid (Ala-Pro-Arg-Leu-Arg-Phe-Tyr-Ser-Leu) neuro tramsmitter whose Phe6-Tyr7 is necessary and sufficient for its function6. It does not undergo any NH2 or COOH modifications. b-BCP (Arg-Leu-Arg-Phe-His)7 and g-BCP are five amino acid peptides while d-BCP and e-BCP contain 39 and 19 amino acid residues respectively5.
Mode of action
Excitation of Bag Cell neurons triggers an afterdischarge response that results in the secretion of BCPs8. In addition, once the afterdischarge is underway, peptide release occurs in response to both calcium influx from the extracellular space and calcium release from intracellular stores8. Upon secretion the BCPs are packaged into discrete vesicles that are distributed throughout the central nervous system of Aplysia where they exert their functions4.
Functions
Release of egg-laying hormone and BCPs mediates the egg laying behavior in Aplysia4. Egg laying behavior is a result of several neuronal responses that include burst augmentation of cell R15, prolonged excitation of left lower quadrant neurons and inhibition of left upper quadrant neurons. BCPs have several functions in the bag cells2. a-BCP inhibits the left upper quadrant cells, b-BCP excites L1, R1 and bag cells in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia, g-BCP excites bag cells and d-BCP stimulates calcium release from the mitochondria5. This elecrophysiological changes to the bag cells by the BCPs and other hormones culminates in egg-laying.

多肽H2N-Ala-Pro-Arg-Leu-Arg-Phe-Tyr-Ser-Leu-COOH的合成步骤:
1、合成CTC树脂:称取2.26g CTC Resin(如初始取代度约为0.43mmol/g)和1.17mmol Fmoc-Leu-OH于反应器中,加入适量DCM溶解氨基酸(需要注意,此时CTC树脂体积会增大好几倍,避免DCM溶液过少),再加入2.92mmol DIPEA(Mw:129.1,d:0.740g/ml),反应2-3小时后,可不抽滤溶液,直接加入1ml的HPLC级甲醇,封端半小时。依次用DMF洗涤2次,甲醇洗涤1次,DCM洗涤一次,甲醇洗涤一次,DCM洗涤一次,DMF洗涤2次(这里使用甲醇和DCM交替洗涤,是为了更好地去除其他溶质,有利于后续反应)。得到 Fmoc-Leu-CTC Resin。结构图如下:

2、脱Fmoc:加3倍树脂体积的20%Pip/DMF溶液,鼓氮气30分钟,然后2倍树脂体积的DMF 洗涤5次。得到 H2N-Leu-CTC Resin 。(此步骤脱除Fmoc基团,茚三酮检测为蓝色,Pip为哌啶)。结构图如下:

3、缩合:取2.92mmol Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH 氨基酸,加入到上述树脂里,加适当DMF溶解氨基酸,再依次加入5.83mmol DIPEA,2.77mmol HBTU。反应30分钟后,取小样洗涤,茚三酮检测为无色。用2倍树脂体积的DMF 洗涤3次树脂。(洗涤树脂,去掉残留溶剂,为下一步反应做准备)。得到Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-Leu-CTC Resin。氨基酸:DIPEA:HBTU:树脂=3:6:2.85:1(摩尔比)。结构图如下:

最后再经过步骤二得到 H2N-Ala-Pro-Arg(Pbf)-Leu-Arg(Pbf)-Phe-Tyr(tBu)-Ser(tBu)-Leu-CTC Resin,结构如下:

5、切割:6倍树脂体积的切割液(或每1g树脂加8ml左右的切割液),摇床摇晃 2小时,过滤掉树脂,用冰无水乙醚沉淀滤液,并用冰无水乙醚洗涤沉淀物3次,最后将沉淀物放真空干燥釜中,常温干燥24小试,得到粗品H2N-Ala-Pro-Arg-Leu-Arg-Phe-Tyr-Ser-Leu-COOH。结构图见产品结构图。
切割液选择:1)TFA:H2O=95%:5%、TFA:H2O=97.5%:2.5%
2)TFA:H2O:TIS=95%:2.5%:2.5%
3)三氟乙酸:茴香硫醚:1,2-乙二硫醇:苯酚:水=87.5%:5%:2.5%:2.5%:2.5%
(前两种适合没有容易氧化的氨基酸,例如Trp、Cys、Met。第三种适合几乎所有的序列。)
6、纯化冻干:使用液相色谱纯化,收集目标峰液体,进行冻干,获得蓬松的粉末状固体多肽。不过这时要取小样复测下纯度 是否目标纯度。
