Native N-glycopeptide thioester synthesis through N→S acyl transfer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peptide thioesters are important tools for the total synthesis of proteins using native chemical ligation (NCL). Preparation of glycopeptide thioesters, that enable the assembly of homogeneously glycosylated proteins, is complicated by the perceived fragile nature of the sugar moiety. Herein, we demonstrate the compatibility of thioester formation via N→S acyl transfer with native N-glycopeptides and report observations that will aid in their preparation.

Shifting Native Chemical Ligation into Reverse through N→S Acyl Transfer
Peptide thioester synthesis by N→S acyl transfer is being intensively explored by many research groups the world over. Reasons for this likely include the often straightforward method of precursor assembly using Fmoc-based chemistry and the fundamentally interesting acyl migration process. In this review we introduce recent advances in this exciting area and discuss, in more detail, our own eff...
متن کاملN-methylcysteine-mediated total chemical synthesis of ubiquitin thioester.
Ubiquitin thioester is a key intermediate in the ubiquitylation of proteins and is formed enzymatically through the activation of alpha-COOH of ubiquitin in an ATP dependent manner using the E1 enzyme. The current methods used for the preparation of ubiquitin thioester rely on either the enzymatic machinery or on expressed protein ligation technology. In this article, we report a new chemical s...
متن کاملExpanding the scope of N → S acyl transfer in native peptide sequences.
Understanding the factors that influence N → S acyl transfer in native peptide sequences, and discovery of new reagents that facilitate it, will be key to expanding its scope and applicability. Here, through a study of short model peptides in thioester formation and cyclisation reactions, we demonstrate that a wider variety of Xaa-Cys motifs than originally envisaged are capable of undergoing e...
متن کاملProtein Assembly Using the Staudinger Ligation
Introduction New methods are facilitating the total chemical synthesis of proteins. In particular, the chemical ligation of synthetic peptides provides a convergent route to proteins. Currently, the most common ligation method is “native chemical ligation” [1]. In native chemical ligation, the thiolate of an N-terminal cysteine residue of one peptide attacks the C-terminal thioester of a second...
متن کاملExploring chemoselective S-to-N acyl transfer reactions in synthesis and chemical biology
C hemoselectivity refers to the preferential reaction of a single chemical reagent with one of two or more different functional groups1. One of the most formidable challenges presented to synthetic chemists involves achieving high levels of chemoselectivity and regioselectivity amongst the myriad of reactive functionalities present in biological systems. Despite the onerous challenges, chemists...
