The unique hydroxylproline (Hyp)-linked O-glycan modification is a common process in hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs). The modification occurs through post-translational hydroxylation at 4-position of proline residues some of which are followed by O-glycosylation at the resulting Hyp which is also found in some secreted peptide hormones such as CLAVATA3 (CLV3) of Arabidopsis thaliana plants. An active mature CLV3 is a tridecapeptide linked to β-l-Araf-(1→2)-β-l-Araf-(1→2)-β-l-Araf at a Hyp residue in the center of the peptide sequence such as Arg-Thr-Val-Hyp-Ser-Gly-Hyp(l- Arafn)-Asp-Pro-Leu-His-His-His (n = 3). We report here the synthesis of the secreted and modified CLV3 glycopeptide with all glycoforms (Araf 0-3CLV3) of A. thaliana plants. A highly stereoselective β-arabinofuranosylation of Hyp derivatives as the key step of the synthesis of CLV3 glycopeptide was achieved by NAP ether-mediated IAD, which was effectively applied to the synthesis of oligoarabinosylated hydroxylproline [Hyp(l-Araf1-3)] derivatives. Fmoc-solid phase peptide synthesis was carried out using COMU as the coupling reagent for the introduction of [Hyp(l-Araf0-3)] derivatives as well as further elongation to the CLV3 glycopeptides.
