Its amino acid composition was inferred from the results of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, Raman spectroscopy, and amino acid analysis. Its sequence could not be determined classically, using Edman degradation, given the lack of a free terminal NH2. It was deduced from the interpretation of interresidue nuclear Overhauser effects and confirmed by the sequencing of peptides obtained by limited chemical hydrolysis. It was found to be CLGIGSCNDFAGCGYAVVCFW. An internal amide bond between the NH2 of C1 and the gamma-COOH of D9 was observed, as well as two disulfide bridges, one between C1 and C13 and one between C7 and C19. The three-dimensional structure of RP 71955 was determined from nuclear magnetic resonance derived constraints using distance geometry, restrained molecular dynamics, nuclear Overhauser effect back calculation, and an iterative refinement using a full relaxation matrix approach. Analogies between the structure of RP 71955 and some functional domains of gp41, the transmembrane protein of human immunodeficiency virus 1, suggest hypotheses concerning the mode of action of RP 71955.
