Facile chemoenzymatic synthesis of a novel stable mimic of NAD.

ABSTRACT: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential cofactor participating in a variety of important enzyme-catalyzed physiological and pathophysiological processes. Analogues of NAD+ provide key and valuable agents for investigating NAD+-dependent enzymes. In this study, we report the preparation of a novel stable NAD+ mimic, 4'-thioribose NAD+ (S-NAD+), using a facile and efficient chemoenzymatic approach. Substrate activity assays indicated the resulting S-NAD+ is chemically inert to human CD38 and sirtuin 2 enzymes, but capable of participating in redox reactions in a manner similar to NAD+. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed binding of S-NAD+ to the active site of human CD38 and critical residues involved in leaving group activation and catalysis. By more closely mimicking NAD+ in geometry and electrostatics, the generated S-NAD+ offers a unique and important tool that can be extended to study enzymes utilizing NAD+.

Facile Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of O-Mannosyl Glycans.

Project description:O Mannosylation is a vital protein modification involved in brain and muscle development whereas the biological relevance of O-mannosyl glycans has remained largely unknown owing to the lack of structurally defined glycoforms. An efficient scaffold synthesis/enzymatic extension (SSEE) strategy was developed to prepare such structures by combining gram-scale convergent chemical syntheses of three scaffolds and strictly controlled sequential enzymatic extension catalyzed by glycosyltransferases. In total, 45 O-mannosyl glycans were obtained, covering the majority of identified mammalian structures. Subsequent glycan microarray analysis revealed fine specificities of glycan-binding proteins and specific antisera.

Chemoenzymatic tandem cyclization for the facile synthesis of bicyclic peptides.

Project description:Bicyclic peptides exhibit improved metabolic stabilities and target specificities when compared to their linear or mono-cyclic counterparts; however, efficient and straightforward synthesis remains challenging due to their intricate architectures. Here, we present a highly selective and operationally simple one-pot chemoenzymatic tandem cyclization approach to synthesize bicyclic peptides with small to medium ring sizes. Penicillin-binding protein-type thioesterases (PBP-type TEs) efficiently cyclized azide/alkyne-containing peptides in a head-to-tail manner. Successive copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition generated bicyclic peptides in one-pot, thus omitting the purification of monocyclic intermediates. This chemoenzymatic strategy enabled the facile synthesis of bicyclic peptides bearing hexa-, octa-, and undecapeptidyl head-to-tail cyclic scaffolds.

Facile and selective N-alkylation of gentamicin antibiotics via chemoenzymatic synthesis.

Project description:The rise and spread of antimicrobial resistance has necessitated the development of novel antimicrobials which are effective against drug resistant pathogens. Aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) remain one of our most effective classes of bactericidal drugs. However, they are challenging molecules to selectively modify by chemical synthesis, requiring the use of extensive protection and deprotection steps leading to long, atom- and step-inefficient synthetic routes. Biocatalytic and chemoenzymatic approaches for the generation of AGA derivatives are of interest as they allow access to more concise and sustainable synthetic routes to novel compounds. This work presents a two-step chemoenzymatic route to regioselectively modify the C-6' position of AGAs. The approach uses a transaminase enzyme to generate an aldehyde on the C-6' position in the absence of protecting groups, followed by reductive amination to introduce substituents selectively on this position. Seven candidate transaminases were tested for their ability to deaminate a panel of commercially available AGAs. The C-6' transaminases could deaminate both pseudo di- and trisaccharide AGAs and tolerate the presence or absence of hydroxyl groups on the C-3'- and C-4'-positions. Additionally, sugar substituents on the C-6 hydroxyl were accepted but not on the C-5 hydroxyl. The most promising enzyme, GenB4, was then coupled with a reductive amination step to synthesise eleven novel 6'-gentamicin C1a analogues with conversions of 13-90%. Five of these compounds were active antimicrobials and four of these retained activity against an aminoglycoside-resistant Escherichia coli. This approach allows facile and step-efficient access to novel aminoglycoside compounds under mild reaction conditions and could potentially enable the development of greener, sustainable, and more cost-effective syntheses of novel AGAs.

Highly efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis and facile purification of ?-Gal pentasaccharyl ceramide Gal?3nLc4?Cer.

Project description:A highly efficient chemoenzymatic method for synthesizing glycosphingolipids using ?-Gal pentasaccharyl ceramide as an example is reported here. Enzymatic extension of the chemically synthesized lactosyl sphingosine using efficient sequential one-pot multienzyme (OPME) reactions allowed glycosylation to be carried out in aqueous solutions. Facile C18 cartridge-based quick (<30 minutes) purification protocols were established using minimal amounts of green solvents (CH3CN and H2O). Simple acylation in the last step led to the formation of the target glycosyl ceramide in 4 steps with an overall yield of 57%.

Facile chemoenzymatic strategies for the synthesis and utilization of S-adenosyl-(L)-methionine analogues.

Project description:A chemoenzymatic platform for the synthesis of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) analogues compatible with downstream SAM-utilizing enzymes is reported. Forty-four non-native S/Se-alkylated Met analogues were synthesized and applied to probing the substrate specificity of five diverse methionine adenosyltransferases (MATs). Human MAT II was among the most permissive of the MATs analyzed and enabled the chemoenzymatic synthesis of 29 non-native SAM analogues. As a proof of concept for the feasibility of natural product "alkylrandomization", a small set of differentially-alkylated indolocarbazole analogues was generated by using a coupled hMAT2-RebM system (RebM is the sugar C4'-O-methyltransferase that is involved in rebeccamycin biosynthesis). The ability to couple SAM synthesis and utilization in a single vessel circumvents issues associated with the rapid decomposition of SAM analogues and thereby opens the door for the further interrogation of a wide range of SAM utilizing enzymes.

Chemoenzymatic Preparation of 4'-Thioribose NAD.

Project description:This chemoenzymatic procedure describes a strategy for the preparation of 4'-thioribose nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (S-NAD+ ), including chemical synthesis of nicotinamide 4'-riboside (S-NR), recombinant expression and purification of two NAD+ biosynthesis enzymes nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK) and nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT), and enzymatic synthesis of S-NAD+ . The first basic protocol describes the procedures for introduction of nicotinamide onto 4'-thioribose and subsequent deprotection to generate S-NR as the key intermediate for enzymatically synthesizing S-NAD+ . In the second basic protocol, experimental methods are detailed for the production of recombinant human NRK1 and NMNAT1 to catalyze conversion of S-NR to S-NAD+ . The third basic protocol presents the enzymatic approach for the generation of S-NAD+ from S-NR precursor. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Facile Synthesis of a Novel Hierarchical ZSM-5 Zeolite: A Stable Acid Catalyst for Dehydrating Glycerol to Acrolein.

Project description:Catalytic biomass conversion is often hindered by coking. Carbon compounds cover active surface and plug pores, causing catalyst deactivation. Material design at the nanoscale allows tailoring of the catalytic activity and stability. Here, we report a simple synthesis of nanosized ZSM-5 materials by using a silicalite-1 seeding suspension. ZSM-5 crystals were grown from a deionized silica source in the presence of ammonia. By using silicalite-1 seeds, crystalline ZSM-5 is synthesized without any structure-directing agent. This method allows parallel preparation of a range of ZSM-5 samples, eliminating time-consuming ion-exchange steps. Mesoporosity is introduced by formation of intercrystallite voids, owing to nanocrystal agglomeration. The effects of crystal sizes and morphologies are then evaluated in the catalytic dehydration of glycerol to acrolein, with results compared against commercial ZSM-5. The most active nanosized ZSM-5 catalysts were five times more stable compared with commercial ZSM-5, giving quantitative conversion and twice the acrolein yield compared with the commercial catalyst. The influence of the catalyst structure on the chemical diffusion and the resistance to coking are discussed.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Tenofovir.

Project description:We report on novel chemoenzymatic routes toward tenofovir using low-cost starting materials and commercial or homemade enzyme preparations as biocatalysts. The biocatalytic key step was accomplished either via stereoselective reduction using an alcohol dehydrogenase or via kinetic resolution using a lipase. By employing a suspension of immobilized lipase from Burkholderia cepacia (Amano PS-IM) in a mixture of vinyl acetate and toluene, the desired (R)-ester (99% ee) was obtained on a 500 mg scale (60 mM) in 47% yield. Alternatively, stereoselective reduction of 1-(6-chloro-9H-purin-9-yl) propan-2-one (84 mg, 100 mM) catalyzed by lyophilized E. coli cells harboring recombinant alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from Lactobacillus kefir (E. coli/Lk-ADH Prince) allowed one to reach quantitative conversion, 86% yield and excellent optical purity (>99% ee) of the corresponding (R)-alcohol. The key (R)-intermediate was transformed into tenofovir through "one-pot" aminolysis-hydrolysis of (R)-acetate in NH3-saturated methanol, alkylation of the resulting (R)-alcohol with tosylated diethyl(hydroxymethyl) phosphonate, and bromotrimethylsilane (TMSBr)-mediated cleavage of the formed phosphonate ester into the free phosphonic acid. The elaborated enzymatic strategy could be applicable in the asymmetric synthesis of tenofovir prodrug derivatives, including 5'-disoproxil fumarate (TDF, Viread) and 5'-alafenamide (TAF, Vemlidy). The molecular basis of the stereoselectivity of the employed ADHs was revealed by molecular docking studies.
