Chemical Labeling Strategy with (R)- and (S)-Trifluoromethylalanine for Solid State 19F NMR Analysis of Peptaibols in Membranes
摘要:
Substitution of a single Aib-residue in a peptaibol with (R)- and (S)-trifluoromethylalanine yields two local orientational constraints theta by solid state F-19 NMR. The structure of the membrane-perturbing antibiotic alamethicin in DMPC bilayers was analyzed in terms of two angles tau and rho from six such constraints, showing that the N-terminus (up to a kink at Pro14) is folded as an alpha-helix, tilted away from the membrane normal by 8 degrees, and assembled as an oligomer. The new F-19 NMR label CF3-Ala has thus been demonstrated to be highly sensitive, virtually unperturbing, and ideally suited to characterize peptaibols in membranes.

Subtilisin, alpha-chymotrypsin and papain catalyzed hydrolyses of alpha-trifluoromethyl substituted N-benzyloxycarbonyl amino acid methylesters (Z-TFM-Xaa-OMe) 1 can be achieved only in the case of 3,3,3-trifluoroalanine. Enzymatic incorporation of Z-TFM amino acids 2 into N-terminal position of dipeptides also fails. In contrary, dipeptides with a TFM amino acid moiety in N-terminal position, e. g. TFM-Phg-L-Phe-OMe 5, react with H-Leu-NH2 to give the corresponding tripeptides 6 in high yield. Z protected dipeptide derivatives 8 with N-terminal TFM amino acids can be obtained via 4-trifluoromethyl-5-(4H)-oxazolones 7.
