[reaction: see text] A peptide-(alpha)thiophenylester is a key reactant in native chemical ligation. Preformation of the peptide-(alpha)thiophenylester could be useful for enhancing the ligation reaction. We report the direct on-resin preparation of preformed peptide-(alpha)thiophenylesters using a simple and efficient method. The peptide-(alpha)thiophenylester reacted extremely rapidly with a Cys-peptide when compared to the peptide-(alpha)thioalkylester. 相似文献

The chemical synthesis of polypeptide chains >50 amino acids with prescribed sequences is challenging. In one approach, native chemical ligation (NCL), short, unprotected peptides are connected through peptide bonds to render proteins in water. Here we combine chemical ligation with peptide self-assembly to deliver extremely long polypeptide chains with stipulated, repeated sequences. We use a self-assembling fiber (SAF) system to form structures tens of micrometers long. In these assemblies, tens of thousands of peptides align with their N- and C-termini abutting. This arrangement facilitates chemical ligation without the usual requirement for a catalytic cysteine residue at the reactive N-terminus. We introduced peptides with C-terminal thioester moieties into the SAFs. Subsequent ligation and disassembly of the noncovalent components produced extended chains > or =10 microm long and estimated at > or =3 MDa in mass. These extremely long molecules were characterized by a combination of biophysical, hydrodynamic, and microscopic measurements. 相似文献

Sugar-assisted ligation (SAL) presents an attractive strategy for the synthesis of glycopeptides, including the synthesis of cysteine-free beta-O-linked and N-linked glycopeptides. Here we extended the utility of SAL for the synthesis of alpha-O-linked glycopeptides and glycoproteins. In order to explore SAL in the context of glycoprotein synthesis, we developed a new chemical synthetic route for the alpha-O-linked glycoprotein diptericin epsilon. In the first stage of our synthesis, diptericin segment Cys(Acm)37-Gly(52) and segment Val(53)-Phe(82) were assembled by SAL through a Gly-Val ligation junction. Subsequently, after Acm deprotection, diptericin segment Cys(37)-Phe(82) was ligated to segment Asp(1)-Asn(36) by means of native chemical ligation (NCL) to give the full sequence of diptericin epsilon. In the final synthetic step, hydrogenolysis was applied to remove the thiol handle from the sugar moiety with the concomitant conversion of mutated Cys(37) into the native alanine residue. In addition, we extended the applicability of SAL to the synthesis of glycopeptides containing cysteine residues by carrying out selective desulfurization of the sulfhydryl-modified sugar moiety in the presence of acetamidomethyl (Acm) protected cysteine residues. The results presented here demonstrated for the first time that SAL could be a general and useful tool in the chemical synthesis of glycoproteins. 相似文献

Chemical synthesis of glycoproteins from readily available materials is a powerful method for obtaining a pure product with full control of its atomic structure. Sugar-assisted ligation (SAL) is an emerging approach that allows the synthesis of a large glycopeptide from two unprotected fragments. Contrary to other ligation methods that are limited to the use of a cysteine residue or depend on external auxiliary, SAL takes advantage of the existing sugars in glycopeptides to promote proximity between the two peptides to facilitate an amide bond formation. 相似文献

Two-photon excitation (2PE) of "caged" biomolecules represents a powerful method to investigate the temporal and spatial relevance of physiological function in real time and on living tissue, because the excitation volume can be restricted to 1 fL. Additionally, low-energy IR light is used, which minimizes tissue destruction and enables deeper penetration into tissue preparations. Exploitation of this technology for studying cell physiology requires the further development of photoremovable protecting groups with sufficient sensitivity to 2PE for use in "caged" compounds. 8-Bromo-7-hydroxyquinoline (BHQ) is efficiently photolyzed by classic 1PE (365 nm) and 2PE (740 nm) under simulated physiological conditions (aqueous buffer of high ionic strength, pH 7.2) to release carboxylates, phosphates, and diols-functional groups commonly found on bioactive molecules such as neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, and drugs. It is stable in the dark, soluble in water, and exhibits low levels of fluorescence, which will enable use in conjunction with fluorescent indicators of biological function. BHQ-protected effectors are synthetically accessible. Stern-Volmer quenching, time-resolved infrared (TRIR), and (18)O-labeling experiments suggest that the photolysis occurs through a solvent-assisted photoheterolysis (S(N)1) reaction mechanism on the sub-microsecond time scale. BHQ has the requisite photochemical and photophysical properties as a photoremovable protecting group to regulate the action of biological effectors in cell and tissue culture with light, especially 2PE. 相似文献

New thiol-containing auxiliaries were developed for peptide ligation. They were placed at the amidyl N-atom in the second amino acid residue of a peptide fragment. With the new auxiliaries, peptide ligation could be conducted at non-Cys and non-Gly sites. Compared to other recently developed auxiliaries, an important feature of the present design was that the new auxiliaries were generally applicable and readily removable. 相似文献

A novel cysteine derivative, N(alpha)-trityl-S-(9H-xanthen-9-yl)-l-cysteine [Trt-Cys(Xan)-OH] has been introduced for peptide synthesis, specifically for application to a new strategy for the preparation of cyclic peptides. The following steps were carried out to synthesize the cyclic model peptide cyclo(Cys-Thr-Abu-Gly-Gly-Ala-Arg-Pro-Asp-Phe): (i). side-chain anchoring of Fmoc-Asp-OAl via its free beta-carboxyl as a p-alkoxybenzyl ester to a solid support; (ii). stepwise chain elongation of the peptide by standard Fmoc/tBu solid-phase chemistry; (iii). removal of the N-terminal Fmoc group; (iv). coupling of Trt-Cys(Xan)-OH; (v). selective Pd(0)-promoted cleavage of the C-terminal allyl ester; (vi). coupling of the C-terminal residue, i.e., H-Phe-SBzl, preactivated as a thioester; (vii). selective removal of the N(alpha)-Trt and S-Xan protecting groups under very mild acid conditions; (viii). on-resin cyclization by native chemical ligation in an aqueous milieu; and (ix). final acidolytic cleavage of the cyclic peptide from the resin. The strategy was evaluated for three supports: poly[N,N-dimethacrylamide-co-poly(ethylene glycol)] (PEGA), cross-linked ethoxylate acrylate resin (CLEAR), and poly(ethylene glycol)-polystyrene (PEG-PS) graft resin supports. For PEGA and CLEAR, the desired cyclic product was obtained in 76-86% overall yield with initial purities of approximately 70%, whereas for PEG-PS (which does not swell nearly as well in water), results were inferior. Solid-phase native chemical ligation/cyclization methodology appears to have advantages of convenience and specificity, which make it promising for further generalization. 相似文献

[reaction: see text] Here we report a novel modification of our previously reported "Staudinger ligation" that generates an amide bond from an azide and a specifically functionalized phosphine. This method for the selective formation of an amide bond, which does not require the orthogonal protection of distal functional groups, should find general utility in synthetic and biological chemistry. 相似文献

Here, we report a new strategy for rapid synthesis of branched peptide by side-chain hydrazide ligation at Asn. The hydrazide was converted to thioester at Asn side chain by NaNO2 and thiol reagent, and sequential ligation with an N-terminus Cys-peptide efficiently afforded the branched peptide. A branched cyclic peptide was successfully synthesized by side-chain ligation with a two-Cys-peptide and formation of a disulfide bond. This approach provides a new way for expeditious synthesis of branched peptides and facilitates the design of neopeptides as functional bio-mimics. 相似文献

A new approach is described for the general Fmoc-based solid-phase synthesis of C-terminal peptide (thio)esters. One hydroxy group of 2,2-dithiodiethanol (used in large excess) was anchored on trityl resin, and the remaining hydroxy group was loaded with the first amino acid. Standard chain elongation and TFA-based peptide release yielded peptide C-terminal dithiodiethanol esters in good purities. Under standard conditions of native chemical ligation (excess thiol, neutral pH), the dithiodiethanol function is presumably reduced and rearranged (or equilibrated) to the thioester via a 5-membered intermediate. The resulting thioesters are shown to undergo native chemical ligation with N-terminal cysteine peptides. Notably, hydrolysis of the reduced ester is a major competing reaction, especially in the presence of 6 M guanidinium chloride, which is often required for solubilization of large peptide fragments. 相似文献

Computation was used to design a trans-cyclooctene derivative that displays enhanced reactivity in the tetrazine-trans-cycloctene ligation. The optimized derivative is an (E)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-ene with a cis-ring fusion, in which the eight-membered ring is forced to adopt a highly strained 'half-chair' conformation. Toward 3,6-dipyridyl-s-tetrazine in MeOH at 25 °C, the strained derivative is 19 and 27 times more reactive than the parent trans-cyclooctene and 4E-cyclooct-4-enol, respectively. Toward 3,6-diphenyl-s-tetrazine in MeOH at 25 °C, the strained derivative is 160 times more reactive than the parent trans-cyclooctene. 相似文献
