Ketonization of 2-hydroxy-2,4-pentadienoate by 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase: Implications for the stereochemical course and the mechanism

4-Oxalocrotonate tautomerase (EC 5.3.2-; 4-OT), an enzyme involved in the bacterial degradation of catechol to intermediates in the Krebs cycle, catalyzes the ketonization of 2-hydroxymuconate (1) to the α,β-unsaturated ketone (E)-2-oxo-3-hexenedioate (2). Kinetic studies on 4-OT suggest that the enzyme is an isomerase and catalyzes the transformation of (E)-2-oxo-4-hexenedioate (3) to 2 through the intermediacy of 1. Isomerases can proceed by either a "one-base" or a "two-base" mechanism. The overall stereochemical course of an isomerase reaction can be used to distinguish between these two mechanisms. The stereochemical analysis of the 4-OT reaction presents a challenge because the proposed substrate, 3, cannot be synthesized or isolated. This complication is circumvented by utilizing strategies based on the expected stereospecific partitioning of 1 and related dienols in 2H2O. It was previously determined that 4-OT ketonizes 1 to (5S)-[5-2H]2. Because it was not possible to obtain sufficient quantities of [3-2H]3 for stereochemical analysis, an alternate substrate for 4-OT, 2-hydroxy-2,4-pentadienoate (4), was used in order to determine the stereochemistry of deuterium incorporation at the 3-position. The dienol 4 is ketonized rapidly by 4-OT to the β,γ-unsaturated ketone 2-oxo-4-pentenoate (5) before a much slower conversion to its α,β-isomer, 2-oxo-3-pentenoate (6). This behavior allows for the accumulation of 5 in solution. In order to assign the stereochemistry, the 4-OT-catalyzed ketonization of 4 was performed in 2H2O. The product, [3-2H]5, was trapped with NaBH4, processed to [3-2H]malate by chemical and enzymatic degradative procedures, and analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. It was concluded that 4-OT ketonizes 4 stereoselectively to (3R)-2-oxo-[3-2H]-4-pentenoate. This result and the previous stereochemical finding indicate that the isomerization of 3 to 2 is predominantly a suprafacial process suggesting that 4-OT proceeds by a one-base mechanism.

Developing an efficient and versatile process to transform a single linear polymer chain into a shape-defined nanoobject is a major challenge in the fields of chemistry and nanotechnology to replicate sophisticated biological functions of proteins and nucleic acids in a synthetic polymer system. In this study, we performed one-shot intrablock cross-linking of linear block copolymers (BCPs) to realize single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) with two chemically compartmentalized domains (Janus-shaped SCNPs). Detailed structural characterizations of the Janus-shaped SCNP composed of polystyrene-block-poly(glycolic acid) revealed its compactly folded conformation and compartmentalized block localization, similar to the self-folded tertiary structures of natural proteins. Versatility of the one-shot intrablock cross-linking was demonstrated using several different BCP precursors. In addition, the Janus-shaped SCNP produce miniscule microphase-separated structures.

Efficient access to diverse screening compounds with desirable, lead-like properties can be a bottleneck in early drug discovery and chemical biology. Herein we present an efficient, rapid route to three structurally distinct classes of compounds (A–C) from a single precursor, which in turn is available through a one-pot Petasis 3-component reaction/Diels–Alder cascade reaction. We demonstrate the versatility of the approach through the synthesis of 35 exemplary compounds from the three classes, as well as by the production of 2188 final compounds, which have been included in the Joint European Compound Library of the European Lead Factory.

Hydroxyglycine, the ammonia adduct of glyoxylic acid, was found to react with various allylboronates in the presence of triethylamine in methanol to give unprotected α-amino acids directly with high stereoselectivity. For instance, the reactions with (E)- and (Z)-crotylboronates afforded the corresponding anti- and syn-crotylated products (isoleucine and alloisoleucine after hydrogenation) with high diastereoselectivity, respectively. Interestingly, it was found that isomerization of the products (γ-adducts to α-adducts) occurred under the reaction conditions in some cases. Control experiments have suggested that the isomerization took place via 2-aza (or azonia) Cope rearrangement of imines derived from γ-adducts and glyoxylic acid.
