Aziridine-2-carboxylic Acid-Containing Peptides: Application to Solution- and Solid-Phase Convergent Site-Selective Peptide Modification
摘要:
The development of a method for site- and stereoselective peptide modification using aziridine2-carboxylic acid-containing peptides is described. A solid-phase peptide synthesis methodology that allows for the rapid generation of peptides incorporating the aziridine residue has been developed. The unique electrophilic nature of this nonproteinogenic amino acid allows for site-selective conjugation with various thiol nucleophiles, such as anomeric carbohydrate thiols, farnesyl thiol, and biochemical tags, both in solution and on solid support. This strategy, combined with native chemical ligation, provides convergent and rapid access to complex thioglycoconjugates.
The preparation of the N-Fmoc-O-Trt derivatives of serine, threonine and tyrosine is described. Their usefulness in peptide synthesis has been determined in the successful solid phase preparation of the partially protected ACTH (fragment 1-10) and peptide T 12. The latter, having six hydroxy amino acid side chains protected with Trt groups, can be quantitatively cleaved from the applied 2-chlorotrityl resin with simultaneous side chain deprotection.
