Peptide Segments

One of the main limitations encountered during the chemical synthesis of proteins through native chemical ligation (NCL) is the limited solubility of some of the peptide segments. The most commonly used solution to overcome this problem is to derivatize the segment with a temporary solubilizing tag. Conveniently, the tag can be introduced on the thioester segment in such a way that it is removed concomitantly with the NCL reaction. We herein describe a generalization of this approach to N-terminal cysteinyl segment counterparts, using a straightforward synthetic approach that can be easily automated from commercially available building blocks, and applied it to a well-known problematic target, SUMO-2 (93 amino acids).

Depth Study

An in-depth study of the Fmoc-based solid phase peptide synthesis of N-Hnb-Cys crypto-thioester peptides, advantageous building blocks for the native chemical ligation-based synthesis of proteins, led to the identification of epimerized and imidazolidinone side products formed during a key reductive amination step. The understanding of the underlying reaction mechanisms was crucial for the developement of an automatable optimized synthetic protocol.
