Synthesis of coenzyme A thioesters using methyl acyl phosphates in an aqueous medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regioselective S-acylation of coenzyme A (CoA) is achieved under aqueous conditions using various aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids activated as their methyl acyl phosphate monoesters. Unlike many hydrophobic activating groups, the anionic methyl acyl phosphate mixed anhydride is more compatible with aqueous solvents, making it useful for conducting acylation reactions in an aqueous medium.

Facile enzymatic synthesis of fatty acylcoenzyme A thioesters.
The fatty acid:CoA ligase (acyl-CoA synthetase, EC 6.2.1.3) of rat liver microsomes was solubilized with Triton X-100 and bound to Matrex Gel Red A. Fatty acid:CoA ligase immobilized on Matrex Gel Red A was active and proved useful for the synthesis of fatty acyl-CoA thioesters. The immobilized activity was characterized by a 3-fold higher apparent Km for ATP than the soluble activity, similar ...
متن کاملBiomimetic synthesis of cyclic peptides using novel thioester surrogates.
Acyl shifts involving N-S and S-S rearrangements are reactions central to the breaking of a peptide bond and forming of thioester intermediates in an intein-catalyzed protein splicing that ultimately leads to the formation of a new peptide bond by an uncatalyzed S-N acyl shift reaction. To mimic these three acyl shift reactions in forming thioesters and the subsequent peptide ligation, here we ...
متن کاملEngineering of bacterial methyl ketone synthesis for biofuels.
We have engineered Escherichia coli to overproduce saturated and monounsaturated aliphatic methyl ketones in the C₁₁ to C₁₅ (diesel) range; this group of methyl ketones includes 2-undecanone and 2-tridecanone, which are of importance to the flavor and fragrance industry and also have favorable cetane numbers (as we report here). We describe specific improvements that resulted in a 700-fold enha...
متن کاملA Chemo-Enzymatic Road Map to the Synthesis of CoA Esters.
Coenzyme A (CoA) is a ubiquitous cofactor present in every known organism. The thioesters of CoA are core intermediates in many metabolic processes, such as the citric acid cycle, fatty acid biosynthesis and secondary metabolism, including polyketide biosynthesis. Synthesis of CoA-thioesters is vital for the study of CoA-dependent enzymes and pathways, but also as standards for metabolomics stu...
متن کاملPreparation of 2-(Propylamino)Ethanethiol 2- Chlorotrityl (PAET) Resin for the Synthesis of Peptide Thioesters
The preparation of peptide thioesters using Fmoc chemistry requires their synthesis as amides flowed by an N -> S-acyl shift reaction. Recently, bis(2-sulfanylethyl)amino-trityl-polystyrene (SEA) resin has been reported (1, 2), where the peptide is synthesized as a secondary amide, and the N -> S-acyl shift occurs by reaction of one of the two 2-sulfanylethyl groups. The PAET resin described he...
