- Efficient synthesis of hydrocarbon-bridged diaminodiacids through nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling
-
Solid-phase incorporation of pre-prepared diaminodiacids has been established as an efficient strategy for the chemical synthesis of peptide disulfide bond mimics. Hydrocarbon-bridged diaminodiacids represent one important category of diaminodiacids but they remain difficult to synthesize. In the present work, we reported the use of newly-developed nickel catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reaction to efficiently synthesize diaminodiacids with hydrocarbon bridges. Through optimization of the reaction conditions, the yield of the hydrocarbon bridge formation reached about 50%, even when the reaction was scaled up to the gram level. Subsequently, using our recently developed Dmab/ivDde protecting group system, we obtained a new hydrocarbon-bridged diaminodiacid that are suitable for metal-free deprotection conditions. We demonstrated the utility of this Dmab/ivDde protected hydrocarbon-bridged diaminodiacid in the synthesis of a disulfide surrogate of oxytocin.

- Trifluoroselenomethionine: A New Unnatural Amino Acid
-
Trifluoroselenomethionine (TFSeM), a new unnatural amino acid, was synthesized in seven steps from N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-l-aspartic acid tert-butyl ester. TFSeM shows enhanced methioninase-induced cytotoxicity, relative to selenomethionine (SeM), toward HCT-116 cells derived from human colon cancer. Mechanistic explanations for this enhanced activity are computationally and experimentally examined. Comparison of TFSeM and SeM by selenium EXAFS and DFT calculations showed them to be spectroscopically and structurally very similar. Nonetheless, when two different variants of the protein GB1 were expressed in an Escherichia coli methionine auxotroph cell line in the presence of TFSeM and methionine (Met) in a 9:1 molar ratio, it was found that, surprisingly, 85 % of the proteins contained SeM residues, even though no SeM had been added, thus implying loss of the trifluoromethyl group from TFSeM. The transformation of TFSeM into SeM is enzymatically catalyzed by E. coli extracts, but TFSeM is not a substrate of E. coli methionine adenosyltransferase.

- Facile synthesis of Fmoc-protected phosphonate pSer mimetic and its application in assembling a substrate peptide of 14-3-3 ζ
-
Phosphatase-inert peptidomimetics containing phosphonate pSer analogue have been developed as valuable biological tools for probing and regulating pSer-dependent protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in cellular context. Herein, we report a facile and efficient synthesis route of Fmoc-protected phosphonate pSer mimetic and also present the application of this building block in the solid-phase synthesis of a phosphatase-resistant substrate peptide of 14-3-3 ζ, retaining 14-3-3 ζ binding efficacy similar to the parent pSer-containing peptide.

- Chemical synthesis of disulfide surrogate peptides by using beta-carbon dimethyl modified diaminodiacids
-
The replacement of disulfide bridges with metabolically stable isosteres is a promising strategy to improve the stability of disulfide-rich polypeptides towards reducing agents and isomerases. A diaminodiacid-based strategy is one of the most effective methods to construct disulfide bond mimics, but modified diaminodiacids have not been developed till now. Inspired by the fact that alkylation of disulfide bonds can regulate the activity of polypeptides, herein, we report the first example of thioether bridged diaminodiacids incorporating Cys Cβdimethyl modification, obtained by penicillamine (Pen)-based thiol alkylation. The utility of these new diaminodiacids was demonstrated by the synthesis of disulfide surrogates of oxytocin containing a short-span disulfide bond and of KIIIA with large-span disulfide bonds. This new type of synthetic bridge further extends the diaminodiacid toolbox to facilitate the study of the structure-activity relationship of disulfide-rich peptides.

- Diaminodiacid bridge improves enzymatic and in vivo inhibitory activity of peptide CPI-1 against botulinum toxin serotype A
-
The replacement of the disulfide bridge of CPI-1, a peptide inhibitor of light chain of Botulinum toxin serotype A, with the thioether-containing and biscarba-containing diaminodiacid bridge leads to a significant decrease in the degradation by trypsin and increase in the detoxification activity in vivo, the addition of hydrophobic or positive amino acid at C-terminus of modified peptides further improves the inhibitory activity.
