Overview

Show »« Hide

The Solute Carrier 15 (SLC15) family of peptide transporters, alias H⁺-coupled oligopeptide cotransporter family, is a group of membrane transporters known for their key role in the cellular uptake of di- and tripeptides (di/tripeptides). Of its members, SLC15A1 (PEPT1) chiefly mediates intestinal absorption of luminal di/tripeptides from overall dietary protein digestion, SLC15A2 (PEPT2) mainly allows renal tubular reuptake of di/tripeptides from ultrafiltration and brain-to-blood efflux of di/tripeptides in the choroid plexus, SLC15A3 (PHT2) and SLC15A4 (PHT1) interact with both di/tripeptides and histidine, e.g. in certain immune cells, and SLC15A5 has unknown physiological function. In addition, the SLC15 family of peptide transporters variably interacts with a very large number of peptidomimetics and peptide-like drugs. It is conceivable, based on the currently acknowledged structural and functional differences, to divide the SLC15 family of peptide transporters into two subfamilies [3].

Stoichiometry

Transport is electrogenic and involves a variable proton-to-substrate stoichiometry for uptake of neutral and mono- or polyvalently charged peptides, as well as the other substrates tested to date.

Comment

Although most di/tripeptides can bind PEPT1, not all of them are substrates. The uptake depends on the structural features (charge, hydrophobicity, size, side chain flexibility, etc.) of the di/tripeptide. A variety of dipeptides and drugs interact with PEPT1, including D-Phe-Ala [28,64], D-Phe-Gln [7], cyclo(L-Hyp-L-Ser) (i.e. JBP485) [18,76], nateglinide [124], glibenclamide [106] and penicillin G (benzylpenicillin) [12]. Among many other molecules, PEPT1 has been shown to interact with L-Dopa-L-Phe [119,128], D-Phe-Gly-L-Dopa [135], JBP485 prodrugs (e.g. JBP485-3-CH₂-O-valine, J3V) [59], 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) derivatives (i.e. Gly-ASA, Glu-ASA, Val-ASA) [88,157], cinnabar (i.e. α-HgS >96%) [145], doxorubicin-tripeptide (i.e. doxorubicin-Gly-Gly-Gly) [39], scutellarin methyl ester-4'-dipeptide conjugates (e.g. scutellarin methyl ester-4'-Val-homo-Leu) [74], curcumin (CUR)-peptide derivatives (i.e. CUR-Phe-Val, CUR-Ile-Val) [158], gemcitabine amino acid ester prodrugs (i.e. 5'-L-valyl-gemcitabine, V-Gem) [109,127], decitabine amino acid ester prodrugs (e.g. 5'-O-L-valyl-decitabine, L-Val-DAC) [120-121], didanosine amino acid ester prodrugs (e.g. 5'-O-L-valyl-didanosine, L-Val-DDI) [156], floxuridine amino acid ester prodrugs (e.g. 5'-L-isoleucyl and 5'-L-valyl amino acid ester prodrugs of floxuridine) [70-71], floxuridine amino acid monoester prodrugs (e.g. 5'-O-D-valyl-floxuridine) [130], floxuridine dipeptide monoester prodrugs (e.g. 5'-L-phenylalanyl-L-tyrosyl-floxuridine, 5'-L-phenylalanyl-L-glycyl-floxuridine, and 5'-L-isoleucyl-L-glycyl-floxuridine) [129], amino acid acyloxy ester prodrugs of guanidine oseltamivir carboxylate (GOC) (e.g. GOC-L-Val, the L-valyl acyloxy ethyl prodrug of GOC) [47] and the valyl amino acid prodrug of GOC with the isopropyl-methylene-dioxy linker (i.e. GOC-ISP-Val) [54], amino acid acyloxy ester prodrugs of zanamivir (Zan, e.g. Zan-L-Val, the L-valyl acycloxy ethyl prodrug of Zan) [48], peramivir-(CH₂)₂-L-Val and peramivir-L-Ile [114], thiodipeptide prodrugs of for example, ibuprofen and propofol [29], alanylpyrraline (Ala-Pyrr) and pyrralylalanine (Pyrr-Ala) [35], dipeptide-bound derivatives of N⁶-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and N⁶-(1-carboxyethyl)-lysine (CEL) (i.e. Ala-CML, CML-Ala, Ala-CEL, CEL-Ala) [50], Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide(FVP)-iron(III) complex [FVP-Fe(III) complex] [20], dipeptides of p-borono-L-phenylalanine (BPA) and tyrosine (i.e. L-Tyr-p-L-BPA (Tyr-BPA), p-L-BPA-L-tyrosine (BPA-Tyr)) [87] and Au^III‐peptidodithiocarbamato complexes of the type [Au^IIIBr₂(dtc‐AA₁‐AA₂‐OR], in which AA₁ = N‐methylglycine (Sar), L/D-Pro; AA₂ = L/D-Ala, α‐aminoisobutyric acid (Aib); R = OtBu, triethylene glycol methyl ether) (e.g. dtc‐Pro‐Aib‐OtBu) [15]. In recent years, PEPT1 has been shown to interact with a large variety of specifically targeted (i.e. peptide- or amino acid-functionalized) nanoparticles [21,24,27,41-42,147], (nano)micelles [60,136,144,153] and nanocomposites [44,141,151-152].

The uptake depends on the structural features (charge, hydrophobicity, size, side chain flexibility, etc.) of the di/tripeptide.

The members of the SLC15 family of peptide transporters are particularly promiscuous in the transport of di/tripeptides, and D-amino acid containing peptides are also transported. While SLC15A3 and SLC15A4 transport histidine, none of them transport tetrapeptides. In addition, many molecules, among which beta-lactam antibacterials, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and sartans, variably interact with the SLC15 family transporters. Known substrates include cefadroxil, valacyclovir, 5-aminolevulinic acid, L-Dopa prodrugs, gemcitabine prodrugs, floxuridine prodrugs, Maillard reaction products, JBP485 and JBP485 prodrugs, zanamivir prodrugs, oseltamivir prodrugs, doxorubicin prodrugs, polymyxins, didanosine prodrugs, decitabine prodrugs, peramivir prodrugs, ibuprofen and propofol thiodipeptide prodrugs, curcumin-peptide derivatives, 5-aminosalicylic acid derivatives, cinnabar, dipeptide conjugates of scutellarin, Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide-iron(III) complex, p-borono-L-phenylalanine-containing dipeptides and Au^III-peptidodithiocarbamato complexes. Known substrates also include mirogabalin, javamide-I/-II esters, acetylated di/tripeptides, LY2140023, paclitaxel small molecule prodrugs, JBP923 enantiomers, fluorescein-labeled dipeptides and peptide-bound derivatives of carboxymethyllysine. Notably, PEPT1 interacts with a variety of specifically PEPT1-targeted (via peptide- or amino acid-functionalization) nanoparticles, (nano)micelles and nanocomposites. Frequently used pharmaceutical excipients such as Tween^® 20, Tween^® 80, Solutol^® HS 15 and Cremophor EL^® strongly inhibit cellular uptake of Gly-Sar by SLC15A1 and/or SLC15A2 [96].
There is evidence to suggest the existence of a fifth member of this transporter family, SLC15A5 (A6NIM6; ENSG00000188991), but to date there is no established biological function or reported pharmacology for this protein [110].
