Chemical Synthesis of GPI Glycan-Peptide Conjugates by Traceless Staudinger Ligation.

ABSTRACT: A new strategy has been developed for GPI glycan-peptide conjugate synthesis based upon a traceless Staudinger reaction between a peptide phosphinothioester and a GPI glycan azide. The strategy was first studied and optimized with simple peptides and GPI glycans, which offered excellent yields of the desired conjugates in both organic and aqueous solvents. It was then used to successfully synthesize an analogue of the human CD52 antigen containing the whole CD52 peptide sequence and the conserved trimannose motif of all GPI anchors.

Traceless Staudinger ligation enabled parallel synthesis of proteolysis targeting chimera linker variants.

Project description:A parallel, one-pot assembly approach to proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) is demonstrated utilizing activated esters generated in situ, and traceless Staudinger ligation chemistry. The method described allows for rapid structure-activity relationship studies of PROTAC linker variants. Two previously studied systems, cereblon and BRD4 degraders, are examined as test cases for the synthetic method. The two related strategies to assemble PROTAC linker variants discussed can accommodate the chromotographic separations capabilities of labs of many sizes and incorporates commercially available degrader building blocks, thereby easing synthetic entry into PROTAC chemical space.

Traceless Staudinger Ligation to Access Stable Aminoacyl- or Peptidyl-Dinucleotide.

Project description:Aminoacyl- and peptidyl-tRNA are specific biomolecules involved in many biological processes, from ribosomal protein synthesis to the synthesis of peptidoglycan precursors. Here, we report a post-synthetic approach based on traceless Staudinger ligation for the synthesis of a stable amide bond to access aminoacyl- or peptidyl-di-nucleotide. A series of amino-acid and peptide ester phenyl phosphines were synthetized, and their reactivity was studied on a 2'-N3 di-nucleotide. The corresponding 2'-amide di-nucleotides were obtained and characterized by LC-HRMS, and mechanistic interpretations of the influence of the amino acid phenyl ester phosphine were proposed. We also demonstrated that enzymatic 5'-OH phosphorylation is compatible with the acylated di-nucleotide, allowing the possibility to access stable aminoacylated-tRNA.

Water-soluble phosphinothiols for traceless staudinger ligation and integration with expressed protein ligation.

Project description:The traceless Staudinger ligation is an effective means to synthesize an amide bond between two groups of otherwise orthogonal reactivity: a phosphinothioester and an azide. An important application of the Staudinger ligation is in the ligation of peptides at a variety of residues. Here, we demonstrate that the traceless Staudinger ligation can be achieved in water with a water-soluble reagent. Those reagents that provide a high yield of amide product discourage protonation of the nitrogen in the key iminophosphorane intermediate. The most efficacious reagent, bis(p-dimethylaminoethyl)phosphinomethanethiol, mediates the rapid ligation of equimolar substrates in water. This reagent is also able to perform a transthioesterification reaction with the thioester intermediate formed during intein-mediated protein splicing. Hence, the traceless Staudinger ligation can be integrated with expressed protein ligation, extending the reach of modern protein chemistry.

Modular Synthesis of Trifunctional Peptide-oligonucleotide Conjugates <i>via</i> Native Chemical Ligation.

Project description:Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are being increasingly used as efficient vectors for intracellular delivery of biologically active agents, such as therapeutic antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). Unfortunately, ASOs have poor cell membrane permeability. The conjugation of ASOs to CPPs have been shown to significantly improve their cellular permeability and therapeutic efficacy. CPPs are often covalently conjugated to ASOs through a variety of chemical linkages. Most of the reported approaches for ligation of CPPs to ASOs relies on methodologies that forms non-native bond due to incompatibility with in-solution phase conjugation. These approaches have low efficiency and poor yields. Therefore, in this study, we have exploited native chemical ligation (NCL) as an efficient strategy for synthesizing CPP-ASO conjugates. A previously characterized CPP [ApoE(133-150)] was used to conjugate to a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) sequence targeting human survival motor neuron-2 (SMN2) mRNA which has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. The synthesis of ApoE(133-150)-PNA conjugate using chemo-selective NCL was highly efficient and the conjugate was obtained in high yield. Toward synthesizing trifunctional CPP-ASO conjugates, we subsequently conjugated different functional moieties including a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotide (PMO), an additional functional peptide or a fluorescent dye (Cy5) to the thiol that was generated after NCL. The in vitro analysis of the bifunctional CPP-PNA and trifunctional CPP-(PMO)-PNA, CPP-(peptide)-PNA and CPP-(Cy5)-PNA showed that all conjugates are cell-permeable and biologically active. Here we demonstrated chemo-selective NCL as a highly efficient and superior conjugation strategy to previously published methods for facile solution-phase synthesis of bi-/trifunctional CPP-ASO conjugates.

Strategic Evaluation of the Traceless Staudinger Ligation for Radiolabeling with the Tricarbonyl Core.

Project description:The traceless Staudinger ligation with its two variants is a powerful biorthogonal conjugation method not only for the connection of biomolecules, but also for the introduction of fluorescence- or radiolabels under mild reaction conditions. Herein, the strategic evaluation of the traceless Staudinger ligation for radiolabeling 99mTc using the fac-[Tc(CO)3]+ core is presented. A convenient and high-yielding three-step synthetic procedure of dipicolylamine-based phosphanols as ligands for the mild radiolabeling was developed. The labeling was accomplished using a tricarbonyl kit and a 99mTc-pertechnetate generator eluate showing 87% radiochemical conversion. The respective rhenium-based, non-radioactive reference compounds were synthesized using (Et4N)2[Re(CO)3Br3] as precursor. All products were analyzed by NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. Additional XRD analyses were performed.

Traceless native chemical ligation of lipid-modified peptide surfactants by mixed micelle formation.

Project description:Biology utilizes multiple strategies, including sequestration in lipid vesicles, to raise the rate and specificity of chemical reactions through increases in effective molarity of reactants. We show that micelle-assisted reaction can facilitate native chemical ligations (NCLs) between a peptide-thioester - in which the thioester leaving group contains a lipid-like alkyl chain - and a Cys-peptide modified by a lipid-like moiety. Hydrophobic lipid modification of each peptide segment promotes the formation of mixed micelles, bringing the reacting peptides into close proximity and increasing the reaction rate. The approach enables the rapid synthesis of polypeptides using low concentrations of reactants without the need for thiol catalysts. After NCL, the lipid moiety is removed to yield an unmodified ligation product. This micelle-based methodology facilitates the generation of natural peptides, like Magainin 2, and the derivatization of the protein Ubiquitin. Formation of mixed micelles from lipid-modified reactants shows promise for accelerating chemical reactions in a traceless manner.

Traceless Photolabile Linker Expedites the Chemical Synthesis of Complex Oligosaccharides by Automated Glycan Assembly.

Project description:Automated glycan assembly (AGA) aims at accelerating access to synthetic oligosaccharides to meet the demand for defined glycans as tools for molecular glycobiology. The linkers used to connect the growing glycan chain to the solid support play a pivotal role in the synthesis strategy as they determine all chemical conditions used during the synthesis and the form of the glycan obtained at the end of it. Here, we describe a traceless photolabile linker used to prepare carbohydrates with a free reducing end. Modification of the o-nitrobenzyl scaffold of the linker is key to high yields and compatibility with the AGA workflow. The assembly of an asymmetrical biantennary N-glycan from oligosaccharide fragments prepared by AGA and linear as well as branched β-oligoglucans is described to illustrate the power of the method. These substrates will serve as standards and biomarkers to examine the unique specificity of glycosyl hydrolases.

Traceless enzymatic protein synthesis without ligation sites constraint.

Project description:Protein synthesis and semisynthesis offer immense promise for life sciences and have impacted pharmaceutical innovation. The absence of a generally applicable method for traceless peptide conjugation with a flexible choice of junction sites remains a bottleneck for accessing many important synthetic targets, however. Here we introduce the PALME (protein activation and ligation with multiple enzymes) platform designed for sequence-unconstrained synthesis and modification of biomacromolecules. The upstream activating modules accept and process easily accessible synthetic peptides and recombinant proteins, avoiding the challenges associated with preparation and manipulation of activated peptide substrates. Cooperatively, the downstream coupling module provides comprehensive solutions for sequential peptide condensation, cyclization and protein N/C-terminal or internal functionalization. The practical utility of this methodology is demonstrated by synthesizing a series of bioactive targets ranging from pharmaceutical ingredients to synthetically challenging proteins. The modular PALME platform exhibits unprecedentedly broad accessibility for traceless protein synthesis and functionalization, and holds enormous potential to extend the scope of protein chemistry and synthetic biology.
