Using amber suppression in coordination with a mutant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNAPylpair, azidonorleucine is genetically encoded in E. coli. Its genetic incorporation followed by traceless Staudinger ligation with a phosphinothioester allows the convenient synthesis of a protein with a site-specifically installed lysine acylation. By simply changing the phosphinothioester identity, any lysine acylation type could be introduced. Using this approach, we demonstrated that both lysine acetylation and lysine succinylation can be installed selectively in ubiquitin and synthesized histone H3 with succinylation at its K4 position (H3K4su). Using an H3K4su-H4 tetramer as a substrate, we further confirmed that Sirt5 is an active histone desuccinylase. Lysine succinylation is a recently identified post-translational modification. The reported technique makes it possible to explicate regulatory functions of this modification in proteins.

(Chemical equation presented) Stereoselective methods for the chemical synthesis of β-N-glycosyl amides are needed to generate glycopeptides and glycoproteins. Here, we report that the Staudinger ligation can be used to form glycosylated asparagine deriva

Secondary and tertiary phosphine-boranes were synthesized in one-pot from phosphine oxides or substituted chlorophosphines without isolation of the intermediate phosphines. Phosphine-boranes having a methyl group were metalated with sec-butyllithium. The generated carbanions reacted with alkyl halides or carbonyl compounds to yield various phosphine-borane derivatives. The carbanions underwent copper(II)-promoted oxidative coupling without impairment of the borane functionality. Secondary phosphine-boranes reacted with alkyl halides, aldehydes, or α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give phosphine-borane derivatives having a functional group. The boranato group of phosphine-boranes was removed in a stereospecific manner with retention of configuration by treatment with a large excess of amine such as morpholine. A new route to bidentate ligands with homochiral phosphine centers has been explored by utilizing these characteristic reactivities of phosphine-boranes. Thus, optically pure (S,S)-1,2-bis(o-anisylphenylphosphino)ethane, (R,R)-1,2-bis(tert-butylphenyl-phosphino)ethane, and (S,S)-1,4-bis(o-anisylphenylphosphino)butane have been synthesized via phosphine-boranes.
