Hmb(off/on) as a switchable thiol protecting group for native chemical ligation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new thiol protecting group Hmb(off/on) is described, which has a switchable activity that may be useful in the chemical synthesis of proteins. When placed on the side chain of Cys, Cys(Hmb(off)) is stable to trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the process of solid-phase peptide synthesis. When Cys(Hmb(off)) is treated with neutral aqueous buffers, it is cleanly converted to acid-labile Cys(Hmb(on)), which can later be fully deprotected by TFA to generate free Cys. The utility of Cys(Hmb(off/on)) is demonstrated by the chemical synthesis of an erythropoietin segment, EPO[Cys(98)-Arg(166)]-OH through native chemical ligation.

Acceleration of thiol additive-free native chemical ligation by intramolecular S → S acyl transfer.
Peptide-mercaptopropionylcysteine (MPA-Cys) thioesters show a surprisingly high reactivity in native chemical ligation (NCL) and allow thiol-additive free reactions. This facilitates sequential NCL reactions and ligation-desulfurization reactions in one-pot formats. The synthetic utility is demonstrated by the synthesis of a SH3 domain.

متن کاملUtility of the Phenacyl Protecting Group in Traceless Protein Semisynthesis through Ligation–Desulfurization Chemistry
Semisynthesis of proteins via expressed protein ligation is a widely applicable method, even more so because of the possibility of ligation at non-cysteine sites using β-mercapto amino acids that can be converted to the corresponding native amino acids by desulfurization. A drawback of this ligation- desulfurization approach is the removal of any unprotected native cysteine residues within the ...
متن کاملExamination of mercaptobenzyl sulfonates as catalysts for native chemical ligation: application to the assembly of a glycosylated Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogue.
3/4-Mercaptobenzyl sulfonates were investigated as aryl thiol catalysts for native chemical ligation (NCL). Whilst catalysing NCL processes at a similar rate to 4-mercaptophenyl acetic acid (MPAA), the increased polarity and solubility of 3-mercaptobenzyl sulfonate in particular may favour its selection as NCL catalyst in many instances.

The dual native chemical ligation at lysine strategy was revised by replacing the acid-labile Cbz protecting group with photolabile NVOC at the 4-mercaptolysine side chain. The optimized strategy was subsequently applied to the synthesis of K48-linked diubiquitin.
