A novel cystine knot peptide, asteropsin E (ASPE), was isolated from an Asteropus sp. marine sponge. The primary, secondary, and tertiary structures of ASPE were determined by high-resolution 2D NMR spectroscopy (900 MHz). With the exception of an N-terminal modification, ASPE shares properties with the previously reported asteropsins A-D, that is, the absence of basic residues, a highly acidic nature, conserved structurally important residues (including two cis-prolines), and a highly conserved tertiary structural framework. ASPE was found to be remarkably stable to gastrointestinal tract enzymes (chymotrypsin, elastase, pepsin, and trypsin) and to human plasma.
