Synthesis of (S)- and (R)-enantiomers of p-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)phenylalanine, useful photoaffinity labeling probes for peptide–protein binding sites
摘要:
A high yield, multigram synthesis of both enantiomers of p-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)phenylalanine, cross-linking probes for peptide-protein binding interactions, is reported. The synthesis was accomplished using Schollkopf chiral auxiliary reagents. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Disclosed is a compound represent by the following structural formula: ##STR1## X is --H or an amine protecting group; --OY is --OH, an activating group for a carboxylic acid or a protecting group for a carboxylic acid; Z is --H or a phenolic protecting group, with the proviso that Z is not a straight chained, unsaturated alkyl group such as, for example, methyl or ethyl, and at least one of X, Y or Z is not --H. Also disclosed is a photoreactive polypeptide having a polypeptide chain comprising a residue of the compound described above. Also disclosed is a method of labeling a target molecule which forms a complex with the photoreactive polypolypeptide by photolyzing the photoreactive polypeptide when complexed with the target molecule.
The invention provides isolated nucleic acid encoding one or more gene products that allow for degradation of caffeine and related structures, and for preparation of intermediates in that catabolic pathway. Further provided are methods of using one or more of those gene products.

A polynucleotide encoding a modified luciferase polypeptide. The modified luciferase polypeptide has at least 60% amino acid sequence identity to a wild-type Oplophorus luciferase and includes at least one amino acid substitution at a position corresponding to an amino acid in a wild-type Oplophorus luciferase of SEQ ID NO:1. The modified luciferase polypeptide has at least one of enhanced luminescence, enhanced signal stability, and enhanced protein stability relative to the wild-type Oplophorus luciferase.
