A new reagent, 3-azaspiro[5,5]undecan-2,4-dioxo-3-yl diphenyl phosphate (ASUD-diphenyl phosphate) is described for the synthesis of N-protected amino acid-ASUD esters which are active esters useful in the synthesis of peptides. This compound was synthesized by reacting N-hydroxy-3-azaspiro[5,5]undecane-2,4-dione (HO-ASUD) with diphenyl chlorophosphate in the presence of a base at room temperature and was obtained in high yields. The ASUD-diphenyl phosphate reagent reacts with N-protected amino acids under mild conditions to give the corresponding ASUD active esters, while preserving the enantiomeric purity of the amino acid. The new reagent is a stable crystalline compound and eliminates the need for DCC, a potent skin allergen, used previously for the synthesis of N-protected amino acid-ASUD ester.

Two uncharacterized enzymes from the amidohydrolase superfamily belonging to cog1228 were cloned, expressed, and purified to homogeneity. The two proteins, Sgx9260c (gi|44242006) and Sgx9260b (gi|44479596), were derived from environmental DNA samples originating from the Sargasso Sea. The catalytic function and substrate profiles for Sgx9260c and Sgx9260b were determined using a comprehensive library of dipeptides and N-acyl derivative of l-amino acids. Sgx9260c catalyzes the hydrolysis of Gly-l-Pro, l-Ala-l-Pro, and N-acyl derivatives of l-Pro. The best substrate identified to date is N-acetyl-l-Pro with a value of kcat/Km of 3 × 105 M -1 s-1. Sgx9260b catalyzes the hydrolysis of l-hydrophobic l-Pro dipeptides and N-acyl derivatives of l-Pro. The best substrate identified to date is N-propionyl-l-Pro with a value of kcat/Km of 1 × 105 M-1 s-1. Three-dimensional structures of both proteins were determined by X-ray diffraction methods (PDB codes 3MKV and 3FEQ). These proteins fold as distorted (β/α) 8-barrels with two divalent cations in the active site. The structure of Sgx9260c was also determined as a complex with the N-methylphosphonate derivative of l-Pro (PDB code 3N2C). In this structure the phosphonate moiety bridges the binuclear metal center, and one oxygen atom interacts with His-140. The α-carboxylate of the inhibitor interacts with Tyr-231. The proline side chain occupies a small substrate binding cavity formed by residues contributed from the loop that follows β-strand 7 within the (β/α)8-barrel. A total of 38 other proteins from cog1228 are predicted to have the same substrate profile based on conservation of the substrate binding residues. The structure of an evolutionarily related protein, Cc2672 from Caulobacter crecentus, was determined as a complex with the N-methylphosphonate derivative of l-arginine (PDB code 3MTW).
