The first total synthesis of glycocin F, a uniquely diglycosylated antimicrobial peptide bearing a rare S-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety in addition to an O-linked GlcNAc, has been accomplished using a native chemical ligation strategy. The synthetic and naturally occurring peptides were compared by HPLC, mass spectrometry, NMR and CD spectroscopy, and their stability towards chymotrypsin digestion and antimicrobial activity were measured. This is the first comprehensive structural and functional comparison of a naturally occurring glycocin with an active synthetic analogue.
Design and synthesis of trivalent Tn glycoconjugate polymers by nitroxide-mediated polymerization

A new synthetic method for preparing Tn glycoconjugate polymers, containing tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, by controlled living radical polymerization is reported. To mimic the authentic structures of Tn glycopeptide antigens and to explore the controlled living radical polymerization, three tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (GalNAc, GalNAcα1-O-Ser, and GalNAcα1-O-Thr) were attached to a styrene-type monomer through a diethylene glycol spacer. Under nitroxide-mediated polymerization, controlled living radical polymerization proceeded to afford defined glycopeptide polymers with different Tn densities and compositions. The polydispersity index (PDI) and molecular weights were increased and conversions were decreased upon increasing the concentration of Tn glycoconjugate monomers. The resulting Tn glycoconjugate polymers were characterized by NMR and IR. The spectral data indicate that the Tn glycoconjugate moiety did attach to the polymer chain and Tn glycoconjugate density could be adjusted through the nitroxide-mediated polymerization conditions. The number of Tn units containing in the polymer chains could be estimated by NMR integration. This synthetic approach provides a new and efficient tool for constructing novel Tn glycoconjugate polymers.

Four cyclic dipeptides modeling the active site of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), UU, CU, UC, and CC, where U and C represent selenocystine and cystine, respectively, were synthesized and their glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like catalytic activity was evaluated by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with glutathione (GSH) in the presence of glutathione reductase (GR). Among these, only UC exhibited the significant antioxidant capacity, suggesting that an atomic environment around the Se–S bond is relevant to the reactivity toward a thiol substrate.

Specific spin labeling allows the site-selective investigation of biomolecules by EPR and DNP enhanced NMR spectroscopy. A novel spin labeling strategy for commercially available Fmoc-amino acids is developed. In this approach, the PROXYL spin label is covalently attached to the hydroxyl side chain of three amino acids hydroxyproline (Hyp), serine (Ser) and tyrosine (Tyr) by a simple three-step synthesis route. The obtained PROXYL containing building-blocks are N-terminally protected by the Fmoc-protection group, which makes them applicable for the use in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). This approach allows the insertion of the spin label at any desired position during SPPS, which makes it more versatile than the widely used post synthetic spin labeling strategies. For the final building-blocks, the radical activity is proven by EPR. DNP enhanced solid-state NMR experiments employing these building-blocks in a TCE solution show enhancement factors of up to 26 for 1H and 13C (1H→13C cross-polarization). To proof the viability of the presented building-blocks for insertion of the spin label during SPPS the penta-peptide Acetyl-Gly-Ser(PROXYL)-Gly-Gly-Gly was synthesized employing the spin labeled Ser building-block. This peptide could successfully be isolated and the spin label activity proved by EPR and DNP NMR measurements, showing enhancement factors of 12.1±0.1 for 1H and 13.9±0.5 for 13C (direct polarization).

Tyrosine sulfation is an important post-translational modification of peptides and proteins which underpins and modulates many protein-protein interactions. In order to overcome the inherent instability of the native modification, we report the synthesis of two sulfonate analogues and their incorporation into two thrombin-inhibiting sulfopeptides. The effective mimicry of these sulfonate analogues for native sulfotyrosine was validated in the context of their thrombin inhibitory activity and binding mode, as determined by X-ray crystallography.

The rise of CuI-catalyzed click chemistry has initiated an increased demand for azido and alkyne derivatives of amino acid as precursors for the synthesis of clicked peptides. However, the use of azido and alkyne amino acids in peptide chemistry is complicated by their high cost. For this reason, we investigated the possibility of the in-house preparation of a set of five Fmoc azido amino acids: β-azido l-alanine and d-alanine, γ-azido l-homoalanine, δ-azido l-ornithine and ω-azido l-lysine. We investigated several reaction pathways described in the literature, suggested several improvements and proposed several alternative routes for the synthesis of these compounds in high purity. Here, we demonstrate that multigram quantities of these Fmoc azido amino acids can be prepared within a week or two and at user-friendly costs. We also incorporated these azido amino acids into several model tripeptides, and we observed the formation of a new elimination product of the azido moiety upon conditions of prolonged couplings with 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate/DIPEA. We hope that our detailed synthetic protocols will inspire some peptide chemists to prepare these Fmoc azido acids in their laboratories and will assist them in avoiding the too extensive costs of azidopeptide syntheses. Experimental procedures and/or analytical data for compounds 3–5, 20, 25, 26, 30 and 43–47 are provided in the supporting information.
Synthesis and Bioactivity of Diastereomers of the Virulence Lanthipeptide Cytolysin

Cytolysin, a two-component lanthipeptide comprising cytolysin S (CylLS″) and cytolysin L (CylLL″), is the only family member to exhibit lytic activity against mammalian cells in addition to synergistic antimicrobial activity. A subset of the thioether cross-links of CylLS″ and CylLL″ have ll stereochemistry instead of the canonical dl stereochemistry in all previously characterized lanthipeptides. The synthesis of a CylLS″ variant with dl stereochemistry is reported. Its antimicrobial activity was found to be decreased, but not its lytic activity against red blood cells. Hence, the unusual ll stereochemistry is not responsible for the lytic activity.

Lantibiotics are a large family of antibacterial peptide natural products containing multiple post-translational modifications, including the thioether structures lanthionine and methyllanthionine. Efforts to probe structure-activity relationships and engineer improved pharmacological properties have driven the development of new methods to produce non-natural analogues of these compounds. In this study, solid-supported chemical synthesis was used to produce analogues of the potent lantibiotic epilancin 15X, in order to assess the importance of several N-terminal post-translational modifications for biological activity. Surprisingly, substitution of these moieties, including the unusual N-terminal d-lactyl moiety, resulted in relatively small changes in the antimicrobial activity and pore-forming ability of the peptides.
