We synthetically reconstructed a discontinuous binding site on interleukin-10 (IL-10) that recognizes the neutralizing anti-IL-10 antibody CB/RS/1. To design the 32-mer IL-10 mimic, a discontinuous interaction site on IL-10 was mapped, and binding studies with epitope-derived peptides led to specific replacement of several amino acids. Both parts of the interaction site were combined by addition of a linker molecule. Systematic analoging of the combined molecule then led to introduction of several additional substitutions in both regions and the linker. All possible disulfide bridge-containing variants of the 32-mer were tested by binding studies. Parallel syntheses were performed on continuous cellulose membranes by spot synthesis. As a result, a conformationally stabilized IL-10-derived molecule was obtained that both binds to and neutralizes the biological activity of CB/RS/1 in the low nanomolar range. This synthetic approach is a powerful alternative to phage display methods for the design of protein mimics.
