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.

In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of water-soluble p-dimethylaminoethyl substituted phosphinomethanethiol in acetyl transfer reactions by the traceless Staudinger ligation with unprotected *-azido lysine containing peptides in aqueous buffer systems. Additionally, we present an improved synthesis pathway for the water-soluble phosphinothiol linkers requiring less steps in a comparable overall yield in comparison to previously published protocols.

The traceless Staudinger ligation has recently found various applications in the field of peptide synthesis and modification, including immobilization and cyclization strategies. In this report, we utilize the traceless Staudinger ligation in the formation of amide bonds, which allows the acquisition of acylated aminosugars and peptides as well as the cyclization of peptides. A key element in these synthetic procedures is the use of a borane-protected phosphinomethanethiol, which is demonstrated to be prone towards oxidation in its unprotected form, during the synthesis of phosphinothioesters. In combination with acidic and basic deprotection strategies for the borane-protected phosphinothioesters, amide bonds can be formed in the presence of azides in moderate to good overall yields.
