Chemical modifications in aggregates of recombinant human insulin induced by metal-catalyzed oxidation: covalent cross-linking via michael addition to tyrosine oxidation products.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To elucidate the chemical modifications in covalent aggregates of recombinant human insulin induced by metal catalyzed oxidation (MCO).

Methods

Insulin was exposed for 3 h at room temperature to the oxidative system copper(II)/ascorbate. Chemical derivatization with 4-(aminomethyl) benzenesulfonic acid (ABS) was performed to detect 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) formation. Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was employed to localize the amino acids targeted by oxidation and the cross-links involved in insulin aggregation. Oxidation at different pH and temperature was monitored with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and ESI-MS analysis to further investigate the chemical mechanism(s), to estimate the aggregates content and to quantify DOPA in aggregated insulin.

Results

The results implicate the formation of DOPA and 2-amino-3-(3,4-dioxocyclohexa-1,5-dien-1-yl) propanoic acid (DOCH), followed by Michael addition, as responsible for new cross-links resulting in covalent aggregation of insulin during MCO. Michael addition products were detected between DOCH at positions B16, B26, A14, and A19, and free amino groups of the N-terminal amino acids Phe B1 and Gly A1, and side chains of Lys B29, His B5 and His B10. Fragments originating from peptide bond hydrolysis were also detected.

Conclusion

MCO of insulin leads to covalent aggregation through cross-linking via Michael addition to tyrosine oxidation products.

A halogen-bonding-catalyzed Michael addition reaction.

Project description:Only a few studies on the use of halogen bonding in catalysis have been published so far. Herein, (benz)imidazolium-based halogen bond donors are used as catalysts in a Michael addition reaction. The most potent catalyst, a rigid atropisomer featuring two iodobenzimidazolium moieties, provided a rate acceleration versus a reference compound of ca. 50.

Lipase-Catalyzed Phospha-Michael Addition Reactions under Mild Conditions.

Project description:Organophosphorus compounds are the core structure of many active natural products. The synthesis of these compounds is generally achieved by metal catalysis requiring specifically functionalized substrates or harsh conditions. Herein, we disclose the phospha-Michael addition reaction of biphenyphosphine oxide with various substituted β-nitrostyrenes or benzylidene malononitriles. This biocatalytic strategy provides a direct route for the synthesis of C-P bonds with good functional group compatibility and simple and practical operation. Under the optimal conditions (styrene (0.5 mmol), biphenyphosphine oxide (0.5 mmol), Novozym 435 (300 U), and EtOH (1 mL)), lipase leads to the formation of organophosphorus compounds in yields up to 94% at room temperature. Furthermore, we confirm the role of the catalytic triad of lipase in this phospha-Michael addition reaction. This new biocatalytic system will have broad applications in organic synthesis.

Ionic Liquids: Efficient Media for the Lipase-Catalyzed Michael Addition.

Project description:Recently, ionic liquids (ILs) have been regarded as ideal media for non-aqueous bio-catalysis. In this work, the synthesis of warfarin by the lipase-catalyzed Michael addition in IL media and the parameters that affected the warfarin yield were investigated. Experimental results demonstrated that the chemical structures of the ILs were a major factor for influencing the warfarin yield. The ILs containing the NTf?? anion were suitable reaction media due to the high chemical stability of this anion. The incorporation of the hydroxyl group on the IL cation significantly improved the lipase activity due to the H?O-mimicking property of this group. The lipase activity decreased by increasing the alkyl chain length on the IL cation due to the non-polar domain formation of the IL cation at the active site entrance of lipase. The ILs and lipase could be reused no less than five times without reduction in the warfarin yield.

The mechanism of thia-Michael addition catalyzed by LanC enzymes.

Project description:In both eukarya and bacteria, the addition of Cys to dehydroalanine (Dha) and dehydrobutyrine (Dhb) occurs in various biological processes. In bacteria, intramolecular thia-Michael addition catalyzed by lanthipeptide cyclases (LanC) proteins or protein domains gives rise to a class of natural products called lanthipeptides. In eukarya, dehydroamino acids in signaling proteins are introduced by effector proteins produced by pathogens like Salmonella to dysregulate host defense mechanisms. A eukaryotic LanC-like (LanCL) enzyme catalyzes the addition of Cys in glutathione to Dha/Dhb to protect the cellular proteome from unwanted chemical and biological activity. To date, the mechanism of the enzyme-catalyzed thia-Michael addition has remained elusive. We report here the crystal structures of the human LanCL1 enzyme complexed with different ligands, including the product of thia-Michael addition of glutathione to a Dhb-containing peptide that represents the activation loop of Erk. The structures show that a zinc ion activates the Cys thiolate for nucleophilic attack and that a conserved His is poised to protonate the enolate intermediate to achieve a net anti-addition. A second His hydrogen bonds to the carbonyl oxygen of the former Dhb and may stabilize the negative charge that builds up on this oxygen atom in the enolate intermediate. Surprisingly, the latter His is not conserved in orthologous enzymes that catalyze thia-Michael addition to Dha/Dhb. Eukaryotic LanCLs contain a His, whereas bacterial stand-alone LanCs have a Tyr residue, and LanM enzymes that have LanC-like domains have a Lys, Asn, or His residue. Mutational and binding studies support the importance of these residues for catalysis.

Asymmetric Michael addition reactions catalyzed by calix[4]thiourea cyclohexanediamine derivatives.

Project description:A number of upper rim-functionalized calix[4]thiourea cyclohexanediamine derivatives have been designed, synthesized and used as catalysts for enantioselective Michael addition reactions between nitroolefins and acetylacetone. The optimal catalyst 2 with a mono-thiourea group exhibited good performance in the presence of water/toluene (v/v = 1:2). Under the optimal reaction conditions, high yields of up to 99% and moderate to good enantioselectivities up to 94% ee were achieved. Detailed experiments clearly showed that the upper rim-functionalized hydrophobic calixarene scaffold played an important role in cooperation with the catalytic center to the good reactivities and enantioselectivities.

Primary-tertiary diamine-catalyzed Michael addition of ketones to isatylidenemalononitrile derivatives.

Project description:Simple primary-tertiary diamines easily derived from natural primary amino acids were used to catalyze the Michael addition of ketones with isatylidenemalononitrile derivatives. Diamine 1a in combination with D-CSA as an additive provided Michael adducts in high yield (up to 94%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99%). The catalyst 1a was successfully used to catalyze the three-component version of the reaction by a domino Knoevenagel-Michael sequence. The Michael adduct 4a was transformed into spirooxindole 6 by a reduction with sodium borohydride in a highly enantioselective manner.

Squaramide-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of masked acyl cyanides to substituted enones.

Project description:Masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagents are shown to be effective umpolung synthons for enantioselective Michael addition to substituted enones. The reactions are catalyzed by chiral squaramides and afford adducts in high yields (90-99%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (85-98%). The addition products are unmasked to produce dicyanohydrins that, upon treatment with a variety of nucleophiles, provide γ-keto acids, esters, and amides. The use of this umpolung synthon has enabled, in enantiomerically enriched form, the first total synthesis of the prenylated phenol (+)-fornicin C.

Chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed aminative dearomatization of α-naphthols/Michael addition sequence.

Project description:Asymmetric dearomatization reactions have recently emerged as a powerful tool for the rapid build-up of the molecular complexity. Chiral three-dimensional polycyclic molecules bearing contiguous stereogenic centers can be synthesized from readily available planar aromatic feedstocks. Here we report that an intermolecular asymmetric dearomatization reaction of α-naphthols bearing a tethered nucleophile at the C4 position of the naphthol ring is achieved by a chiral phosphoric acid. The reaction proceeds via a highly chemo- and regioselective aminative dearomatization/Michael addition sequence, affording a wide array of functionalized cyclic ketones in good yields (up to 93%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). The catalyst loading can be reduced to 0.1 mol%. Preliminary mechanistic investigations identify that the enantioselectivity is established in the dearomatization step, while the Michael addition is the rate-limiting step. A working model accounting for the origin of the stereochemistry is proposed based on DFT calculations.

A genetically encoded aza-Michael acceptor for covalent cross-linking of protein-receptor complexes.

Project description:Selective covalent bond formation at a protein-protein interface potentially can be achieved by genetically introducing into a protein an appropriately "tuned" electrophilic unnatural amino acid that reacts with a native nucleophilic residue in its cognate receptor upon complex formation. We have evolved orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNACUA pairs that genetically encode three aza-Michael acceptor amino acids, N(?)-acryloyl-(S)-lysine (AcrK, 1), p-acrylamido-(S)-phenylalanine (AcrF, 2), and p-vinylsulfonamido-(S)-phenylalanine (VSF, 3), in response to the amber stop codon in Escherichia coli. Using an ?ErbB2 Fab-ErbB2 antibody-receptor pair as an example, we demonstrate covalent bond formation between an ?ErbB2-VSF mutant and a specific surface lysine ?-amino group of ErbB2, leading to near quantitative cross-linking to either purified ErbB2 in vitro or to native cellular ErbB2 at physiological pH. This efficient biocompatible reaction may be useful for creating novel cell biological probes, diagnostics, or therapeutics that selectively and irreversibly bind a target protein in vitro or in living cells.
