Alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor bound to inhibitory bicyclic peptide KP1877 in a resting state

Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedPeptides targeting the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha7-nAChR) represent promising candidates for therapeutic and chemical probe development. Here, we identified a novel bicyclic peptide KP1877 via phage-displayed peptide library screening followed by chemical synthesis of active analogs. Structural characterization reveals KP1877 adopts a unique bicyclic conformation distinct from known natural alpha7-nAChR-targeting peptides, and exerts potent inhibitory effect by stabilizing the closed, non-conducting state of the receptor via orthosteric binding.
