- A Versatile Approach for Site-Specific Lysine Acylation in Proteins
-
Using amber suppression in coordination with a mutant pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNAPylpair, azidonorleucine is genetically encoded in E. coli. Its genetic incorporation followed by traceless Staudinger ligation with a phosphinothioester allows the convenient synthesis of a protein with a site-specifically installed lysine acylation. By simply changing the phosphinothioester identity, any lysine acylation type could be introduced. Using this approach, we demonstrated that both lysine acetylation and lysine succinylation can be installed selectively in ubiquitin and synthesized histone H3 with succinylation at its K4 position (H3K4su). Using an H3K4su-H4 tetramer as a substrate, we further confirmed that Sirt5 is an active histone desuccinylase. Lysine succinylation is a recently identified post-translational modification. The reported technique makes it possible to explicate regulatory functions of this modification in proteins.

- A Photo-Triggered Traceless Staudinger–Bertozzi Ligation Reaction
-
The use of light to control the course of a chemical/biochemical reaction is an attractive idea because of its ease of administration with high precision and fine spatial resolution. Staudinger ligation is one of the commonly adopted conjugation processes that involve a spontaneous reaction between azides and arylphosphines to form iminophosphoranes, which further hydrolyze to give stable amides. We designed an anthracenylmethyl diphenylphosphinothioester (1) that showed promising Staudinger ligation reactivity upon photo-excitation. Broadband photolysis at 360–400 nm in aqueous organic solvents induced heterolytic cleavage of its anthracenylmethyl–phosphorus bond, releasing a diphenylphosphinothioester (2) as an efficient traceless Staudinger–Bertozzi ligation reagent. The quantum yield of such a photo-induced heterolytic bond-cleavage at the optimal wavelength of photolysis (376 nm) at room temperature is ≥0.07. This work demonstrated the feasibility of photocaging arylphosphines to realize the photo-triggering of the Staudinger ligation reaction.

- Traceless Staudinger acetylation of azides in aqueous buffers
-
In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of water-soluble p-dimethylaminoethyl substituted phosphinomethanethiol in acetyl transfer reactions by the traceless Staudinger ligation with unprotected *-azido lysine containing peptides in aqueous buffer systems. Additionally, we present an improved synthesis pathway for the water-soluble phosphinothiol linkers requiring less steps in a comparable overall yield in comparison to previously published protocols.

- Acidic and basic deprotection strategies of borane-protected phosphinothioesters for the traceless Staudinger ligation
-
The traceless Staudinger ligation has recently found various applications in the field of peptide synthesis and modification, including immobilization and cyclization strategies. In this report, we utilize the traceless Staudinger ligation in the formation of amide bonds, which allows the acquisition of acylated aminosugars and peptides as well as the cyclization of peptides. A key element in these synthetic procedures is the use of a borane-protected phosphinomethanethiol, which is demonstrated to be prone towards oxidation in its unprotected form, during the synthesis of phosphinothioesters. In combination with acidic and basic deprotection strategies for the borane-protected phosphinothioesters, amide bonds can be formed in the presence of azides in moderate to good overall yields.

- Chemoselective peptide cyclization by traceless staudinger ligation
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Two birds with one stone! An intramolecular traceless Staudinger ligation was employed to synthesize cyclic peptides. The final amide bond formation was induced by deprotection of the azidopeptide phosphinothioesters. Treatment with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) results in the simultaneous removal of the borane along with the protecting groups on the peptide side chains, and chemoselective amide bond cyclization ensues.

- Staudinger ligation of α-azido acids retains stereochemistry
-
The Staudinger ligation of peptides with a C-terminal phosphinothioester and N-terminal azide is an emerging method in protein chemistry. Here, the first Staudinger ligations of nonglycyl azides are reported and shown to proceed both in nearly quantitative yield and with no detectable effect on the stereochemistry at the α-carbon of the azide. These results demonstrate further the potential of the Staudinger ligation as a general method for the total synthesis of proteins from peptide fragments.
