N-Terminal Modification of Proteins with o-Aminophenols
摘要:
The synthetic modification of proteins plays an important role in chemical biology and biomaterials science. These fields provide a constant need for chemical tools that can introduce new functionality in specific locations on protein surfaces. In this work, an oxidative strategy is demonstrated for the efficient modification of N-terminal residues on peptides and N-terminal proline residues on proteins. The strategy uses o-aminophenols or o-catechols that are oxidized to active coupling species in situ using potassium ferricyanide. Peptide screening results have revealed that many N-terminal amino acids can participate in this reaction, and that proline residues are particularly reactive. When applied to protein substrates, the reaction shows a stronger requirement for the proline group. Key advantages of the reaction include its fast second-order kinetics and ability to achieve site-selective modification in a single step using low concentrations of reagent. Although free cysteines are also modified by the coupling reaction, they can be protected through disulfide formation and then liberated after N-terminal coupling is complete. This allows access to doubly functionalized bioconjugates that can be difficult to access using other methods.

vegetables contain naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds that can undergo enzyme-catalyzed oxidation during food preparation. Many of these compounds contain catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) moieties that may be transformed into o-quinone derivatives by polyphenoloxidases and molecular oxygen. Secondary reactions of the o-quinones include the Strecker degradation of ambient amino acids to form flavor-important
