Peptidyl N-alkylcysteine as a peptide thioester surrogate in the native chemical ligation
摘要:
Peptides having the C-terminal N-alkylcysteine (NAC) with a free carboxy group, which can be easily prepared by the conventional 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), was directly used for the native chemical ligation (NCL) based on the in situ thioesterification method. The reaction efficiently proceeded under a mild acidic condition (pH similar to 5) to give the ligated product. This method was successfully used for the synthesis of the human brain natriuretic peptide, (BNP)-32, showing the usefulness of the peptidyl NAC as a thioester surrogate for the NCL reaction.

The synthesis of Fmoc-aminoacyl-N-ethyl-S-triphenylmethylcysteine, an N- to S-acyl migratory device for the preparation of peptide thioesters by Fmoc-SPPS (solid-phase peptide synthesis) is described. Condensation of Fmoc-aminoacyl pentafluorophenyl ester and N-ethyl-S-triphenylmethylcysteine was efficiently performed in the presence of HOOBt (3-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,2,3-benzotriazine) in DMF. A small amount of diastereomer yielded during the reaction was easily separated by HPLC purification and the highly pure devices were obtained for most of the proteinogenic amino acids.
