Expanding the scope of alkyne-mediated bioconjugations utilizing unnatural amino acids.

چکیده
The importance of bioconjugates within the field of chemistry drives the need for novel methodologies for their preparation. Well-defined and stable bioconjugates are easily accessible via the utilization of unnatural amino acids (UAAs). As such, we have synthesized and incorporated two new UAAs into green fluorescent protein, and optimized a novel Cadiot-Chodkiewicz bioconjugation, effectively expanding the toolbox of chemical reactions that can be employed in the preparation of bioconjugates.

Utilization of alkyne bioconjugations to modulate protein function.
The ability to introduce or modify protein function has widespread application to multiple scientific disciplines. The introduction of unique unnatural amino acids represents an excellent mechanism to incorporate new functionality; however, this approach is limited by ability of the translational machinery to recognize and incorporate the chemical moiety. To overcome this potential limitation, ...
متن کاملBioorthogonal labelling of living bacteria using unnatural amino acids containing nitrones and a nitrone derivative of vancomycin.
Unnatural D-amino acids bearing endocyclic nitrones were developed for live-cell labelling of the bacterial peptidoglycan layer. Metabolic incorporation of D-Lys and D-Ala derivatives bearing different endocyclic nitrones was observed in E. coli, L. innocua, and L. lactis. The incorporated nitrones of these bacteria then rapidly underwent strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (SPANC) rea...
متن کاملExpanding the Genetic Code of Yeast for Incorporation of Diverse Unnatural Amino Acids via a Pyrrolysyl-tRNA Synthetase/tRNA Pair
We report the discovery of a simple system through which variant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA(CUA Pyl) pairs created in Escherichia coli can be used to expand the genetic code of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the process we have solved the key challenges of producing a functional tRNA(CUA Pyl) in yeast and discovered a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA(CUA Pyl) pair that is orthogonal in yeast....
متن کاملStereo- and regio-selective one-pot synthesis of triazole-based unnatural amino acids and β-amino triazoles.
Synthesis of triazole based unnatural amino acids and β-amino triazoles has been described via a stereo and regioselective one-pot multi-component reaction of sulfamidates, sodium azide, and alkynes under MW conditions. The developed method is applicable to a broad substrate scope and has significant potential for the synthesis of unnatural amino acids with a triazole side chain.
متن کاملExpanding the genetic code to study metalloproteins and protein posttranslational modifications
Genetic code expansion is a useful method to study metalloproteins and protein posttranslational modifications. We constructed several tyrosine and pyrrolysine tRNA synthetase libraries based on tyrosine and pyrrolysine tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs to screen unnatural amino acids (UAAs) with similar chemical structure to tyrosine or lysine. We had incorporated several unnatural amino acids into p...
