Protein post-translational modifications are involved in essentially all aspects of cellular signaling. Their dynamic nature and the difficulties in installing them using enzymatic approaches limits their direct study in human cells. Reported herein is the first synthesis, delivery and cellular study of a stable phosphoubiquitin probe. Our results compare Parkin's substrate preference during mitophagyviadirect visualization of a phosphorylated ubiquitin probe in the cellular environment.

The conjugation of organometallic complexes to peptides is generally achieved through covalent organic linkages of the metal's ligand to the peptide. Examples of direct coordination to metal centers by amino acid side chain residues remain rare. In one such example, side chain methylation of the natural amino acid histidine (His) resulted in an imidazolium functionalized amino acid which was used for the synthesis of rhodium(I), iridium(I), iridium(III), palladium(II) and ruthenium(III) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of the single amino acid and peptides containing this amino acid. Here, we have synthesized two new, non-natural imidazolium functionalized amino acid derivatives, which were used for solid phase peptide synthesis and for the synthesis of [M(COD)(NHC)Cl] (COD = 1,5 cyclooctadiene) complexes of Rh(I) and Ir(I). In total, six new complexes of the single amino acids and four complexes where the amino acids are present in a peptide environment were synthesized. Their characterization provides convincing evidence of conversion of the imidazolium moiety to an NHC ligand and thus the presence of a direct metal-carbon bond between the metal center and the amino acid side chain. Therefore, our compounds represent unique examples of peptide-conjugated complexes that bear the potential to be used for the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene complexes conjugated to cancer cell targeting peptides.

Anti-virulence approaches in the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA)-induced infections have shown clinical potential in multiple in vitro and in vivo studies. However, development of these compounds is limited by several factors, including the lack of molecules capable of penetrating the membrane of gram-negative organisms. Here, we report the identification of novel structurally diverse compounds that inhibit PqsR and LasR-based signaling and diminish virulence factor production and biofilm growth in two clinically relevant strains of P. aeruginosa. It is the first report where potential anti-virulent agents were evaluated for inhibition of several virulence factors of PA. Finally, co-treatment with these inhibitors significantly reduced the production of virulence factors induced by the presence of sub-inhibitory levels of ciprofloxacin. Further, we have analyzed the drug-likeness profile of designed compounds using quantitative estimates of drug-likeness (QED) and confirmed their potential as hit molecules for further development.

Discovery of new A- and B-type laxaphycins with synergistic anticancer activity
Cai, Weijing,Matthew, Susan,Chen, Qi-Yin,Paul, Valerie J.,Luesch, Hendrik
, p. 2310 - 2319 (2018/04/02)
Two new cyclic lipopeptides termed laxaphycins B4 (1) and A2 (2) were discovered from a collection of the marine cyanobacterium Hormothamnion enteromorphoides, along with the known compound laxaphycin A. The planar structures were solved based on a combined interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR data and mass spectral data. The absolute configurations of the subunits were determined by chiral LC-MS analysis of the hydrolysates, advanced Marfey's analysis and 1D and 2D ROESY experiments. Consistent with similar findings on other laxaphycin A- and B-type peptides, laxaphycin B4 (1) showed antiproliferative effects against human colon cancer HCT116 cells with IC50 of 1.7 μM, while laxaphycins A and A2 (2) exhibited weak activities. The two major compounds isolated from the sample, laxaphycins A and B4, were shown to act synergistically to inhibit the growth of HCT116 colorectal cancer cells.
Reaction of (S)-homoserine lactone with Grignard reagents: synthesis of amino-keto-alcohols and β-amino acid derivatives

The ring-opening reaction of homoserine lactone with phenylmagnesium bromides was systematically examined. A reliable method to achieve β-amino acid precursors was developed by tuning the reaction conditions to favor mono-addition to the carbonyl moiety of the lactone.

Amino acids are of paramount importance as chiral building blocks of life, for drug development in modern medicinal chemistry, and for the manufacture of industrial products. In this work, the stereoselective synthesis of (S)- and (R)-2-amino-4-hydroxybutanoic acid was accomplished using a systems biocatalysis approach comprising a biocatalytic one-pot cyclic cascade by coupling of an aldol reaction with an ensuing stereoselective transamination. A class II pyruvate aldolase from E. coli, expressed as a soluble fusion protein, in tandem with either an S- or R-selective, pyridoxal phosphate dependent transaminase was used as a catalyst to realize the conversion, with formaldehyde and alanine being the sole starting materials. Interestingly, the class II pyruvate aldolase was found to tolerate formaldehyde concentrations of up to 1.4 M. The cascade system was found to reach product concentrations for (S)- or (R)-2-amino-4-hydroxybutanoic acid of at least 0.4 M, rendering yields between 86% and >95%, respectively, productivities of >80 g L-1 d-1, and ee values of >99%.

, p. 4516 - 4529 (2016/07/06)
A detailed account of the synthesis of chiral bicyclic guanidinium salts is presented. This work represents the first systematic investigation of an approach toward the challenging target molecules via a key guanylation step employing di(imidazole-1-yl)methanimine (6) followed by a two-fold cyclization, which resulted in guanidinium salts 8 and 10. Factors governing the regioselectivity of the final cyclization step are discussed based on further data obtained in the course of the attempted syntheses of two additional bicyclic guanidinium salts.

S-Adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) analogues have previously demonstrated their utility as chemical reporters of methyltransferases. Here we describe the facile, large-scale synthesis of Se-alkyl Se-adenosyl-l-selenomethionine (SeAM) analogues and their precursor, Se-adenosyl-l-selenohomocysteine (SeAH). Comparison of SeAM analogues with their equivalent SAM analogues suggests that sulfonium-to-selenonium substitution can enhance their compatibility with certain protein methyltransferases, favoring otherwise less reactive SAM analogues. Ready access to SeAH therefore enables further application of SeAM analogues as chemical reporters of diverse methyltransferases.
Deracemization of amino acids by coupling transaminases of opposite stereoselectivity
Park, Eul-Soo,Shin, Jong-Shik
, p. 3505 - 3509 (2015/02/19)
Biocatalytic deracemization of amino acids without relying on oxidase-based deamination of an unwanted enantiomer was demonstrated by coupling a-and w-transaminases displaying opposite stereoselectivity. This strategy employs isopropylamine and a keto acid as cosubstrates and is free of generation of hydrogen peroxide which is troublesome in the conventional oxidase-based methods.
