Small peptide diversification through photoredox-catalyzed oxidative C-terminal modification.

ABSTRACT: A photoredox-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative coupling of small peptides is reported, giving access to a variety of N,O-acetals. They were used as intermediates for the addition of phenols and indoles, leading to novel peptide scaffolds and bioconjugates. Amino acids with nucleophilic side chains, such as serine, threonine, tyrosine and tryptophan, could also be used as partners to access tri- and tetrapeptide derivatives with non-natural cross-linking.

Decarboxylative Peptide Macrocyclization through Photoredox Catalysis.

Project description:A method for the decarboxylative macrocyclization of peptides bearing N-terminal Michael acceptors has been developed. This synthetic method enables the efficient synthesis of cyclic peptides containing γ-amino acids and is tolerant of functionalities present in both natural and non-proteinogenic amino acids. Linear precursors ranging from 3 to 15 amino acids cyclize effectively under this photoredox method. To demonstrate the preparative utility of this method in the context of bioactive molecules, we synthesized COR-005, a somatostatin analogue that is currently in clinical trials.

Dual gold/photoredox-catalyzed C(sp)-H arylation of terminal alkynes with diazonium salts.

Project description:The arylation of alkyl and aromatic terminal alkynes by a dual gold/photoredox catalytic system is described. Using aryldiazonium salts as readily available aryl sources, a range of diversely-functionalized arylalkynes could be synthesized under mild, base-free reaction conditions using visible light from simple household sources or even sunlight. This process, which exhibits a broad scope and functional group tolerance, expands the range of transformations amenable to dual gold/photoredox catalysis to those involving C-H bond functionalization and demonstrates the potential of this concept to access AuI/AuIII redox chemistry under mild, redox-neutral conditions.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Decarboxylative <i>C</i>-Terminal Differentiation for Bulk- and Single-Molecule Proteomics.

Project description:Methods for the selective labeling of biogenic functional groups on peptides are being developed and used in the workflow of both current and emerging proteomics technologies, such as single-molecule fluorosequencing. To achieve successful labeling with any one method requires that the peptide fragments contain the functional group for which labeling chemistry is designed. In practice, only two functional groups are present in every peptide fragment regardless of the protein cleavage site, namely, an N-terminal amine and a C-terminal carboxylic acid. Developing a global-labeling technology, therefore, requires one to specifically target the N- and/or C-terminus of peptides. In this work, we showcase the first successful application of photocatalyzed C-terminal decarboxylative alkylation for peptide mass spectrometry and single-molecule protein sequencing that can be broadly applied to any proteome. We demonstrate that peptides in complex mixtures generated from enzymatic digests from bovine serum albumin, as well as protein mixtures from yeast and human cell extracts, can be site-specifically labeled at their C-terminal residue with a Michael acceptor. Using two distinct analytical approaches, we characterize C-terminal labeling efficiencies of greater than 50% across complete proteomes and document the proclivity of various C-terminal amino-acid residues for decarboxylative labeling, showing histidine and tryptophan to be the most disfavored. Finally, we combine C-terminal decarboxylative labeling with an orthogonal carboxylic acid-labeling technology in tandem to establish a new platform for fluorosequencing.

AgeMTPT, a Catalyst for Peptide N-Terminal Modification.

Project description:A key goal of synthetic biology is to enable designed modification of peptides and proteins, both in vivo and in vitro. N- and C-Terminal modification enzymes are crucial in this regard, but there are a few enzymatic options to protect peptide termini. AgeMTPT protects the N-terminus of short peptides with isoprene and the C-terminus as a methyl ester, but its substrate scope is unknown, limiting its application. Here, we investigate the substrate selectivity of the prenyltransferase domain, revealing a requirement for N-terminal aromatic amino acids, but with tolerance for diverse uncharged amino acids in the remaining positions. To demonstrate the potential of the enzyme, substrate selectivity data were used in the enzymatic modification of leu-enkephalin at the critical N-terminal residue. AgeMTPT active site mutagenesis led to an enzyme with expanded substrate scope, including the reverse geranylation of the N-termini of peptides. These data reveal potential applications of enzymatic peptide protection in synthetic biology.

Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative 1,1-diarylation of terminal olefins.

Project description:Evaluation of the scope of a Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative 1,1-diarylation reaction of terminal olefins using aryl stannanes is reported. The reaction is shown to be tolerant of functionality commonly encountered in organic synthesis; however, the reaction outcome was found to be dependent on the nature of the aryl stannane used. A mechanistic rationale for the observation of this influence is provided.

Structure diversification of vancomycin through peptide-catalyzed, site-selective lipidation: a catalysis-based approach to combat glycopeptide-resistant pathogens.

Project description:The emergence of antibiotic-resistant infections highlights the need for novel antibiotic leads, perhaps with a broader spectrum of activity. Herein, we disclose a semisynthetic, catalytic approach for structure diversification of vancomycin. We have identified three unique peptide catalysts that exhibit site-selectivity for the lipidation of the aliphatic hydroxyls on vancomycin, generating three new derivatives 9a, 9b, and 9c. Incorporation of lipid chains into the vancomycin scaffold provides promising improvement of its bioactivity against vancomycin-resistant enterococci (Van A and Van B phenotypes of VRE). The MICs for 9a, 9b, and 9c against MRSA and VRE (Van B phenotype) range from 0.12 to 0.25 μg/mL. We have also performed a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study to investigate the effect of lipid chain length at the newly accessible G4-OH derivatization site.

Multicomponent Oxidative Nitrile Thiazolidination Reaction for Selective Modification of N-terminal Dimethylation Posttranslational Modification.

Project description:Protein α-N-terminal dimethylation (Nme2) is an underexplored posttranslational modification (PTM) despite the increasing implications of α-N-terminal dimethylation in vital physiological and pathological processes across diverse species; thus, it is imperative to identify the sites of α-N-terminal dimethylation in the proteome. So far, only ∼300 α-N-terminal methylation sites have been discovered including mono-, di-, and tri-methylation, due to the lack of a pan-selective method for detecting α-N-terminal dimethylation. Herein, we introduce the three-component coupling reaction, oxidative nitrile thiazolidination (OxNiTha) for chemoselective modification of α-Nme2 to thiazolidine ring in the presence of selectfluor, sodium cyanide, and 1,2 aminothiols. One of the major challenges in developing a pan-specific method for the selective modification of α-Nme2 PTM is the competing reaction with dimethyl lysine (Kme2) PTM of a similar structure. We tackle this challenge by trapping nitrile-modified Nme2 with aminothiols, leading to the conversion of Nme2 to a five-membered thiazolidine ring. Surprisingly, the 1,2 aminothiol reaction with nitrile-modified Kme2 led to de-nitrilation along with the de-methylation to generate monomethyl lysine (Kme1). We demonstrated the application of OxNiTha reaction in pan-selective and robust modification of α-Nme2 in peptides and proteins to thiazolidine functionalized with varying fluorescent and affinity tags under physiological conditions. Further study with cell lysate enabled the enrichment of Nme2 PTM containing proteins.

DNA-Catalyzed Introduction of Azide at Tyrosine for Peptide Modification.

Project description:We show that DNA enzymes (deoxyribozymes) can introduce azide functional groups at tyrosine residues in peptide substrates. Using in vitro selection, we identified deoxyribozymes that transfer the 2'-azido-2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphoryl group (2'-Az-dAMP) from the analogous 5'-triphosphate (2'-Az-dATP) onto the tyrosine hydroxyl group of a peptide, which is either tethered to a DNA anchor or free. Some of the new deoxyribozymes are general with regard to the amino acid residues surrounding the tyrosine, while other DNA enzymes are sequence-selective. We use one of the new deoxyribozymes to modify free peptide substrates by attaching PEG moieties and fluorescent labels.

Lipid modification of proteins through sortase-catalyzed transpeptidation.

Project description:A general chemoenzymatic method for the site-specific attachment of lipids to protein substrates is described. Sortase A is used to append short lipid-modified oligoglycine peptides to the C terminus of protein substrates bearing a five amino acid sortase A recognition sequence (LPETG). We demonstrate the attachment of a range of hydrophobic modifications in excellent yield (60-90%), including a simple step for removing the sortase enzyme postreaction. Lipoproteins prepared using these procedures were subsequently shown to associate with mammalian cells in a lipid tail-dependent fashion and localized to the plasma membrane and endosomes.
