N2 - KTS-disintegrins are a subfamily of short monomeric disintegrins that are potent and selective inhibitors of α1β1 integrin. The amino acid sequence of the new KTS-disintegrin, viperistatin, differs from previously characterized obtustatin in three residues at position 24 (within the integrin binding loop), 38 (hydrophobic core) and 40 (C-terminal region). Noteworthy, viperistatin is about 25-fold more potent than obtustatin inhibiting the binding of this integrin to collagen IV. Synthetic peptides representing the full-length of integrin-binding loops of these disintegrins showed that the Leu24/Arg substitution appears to be partly responsible for the increased inhibitory activity of viperistatin over obtustatin.
