Abstract
Strategies for one-pot peptide ligation enable chemists to access synthetic proteins at a high yield in a short time. Herein, we report a novel one-pot multi-segments ligation strategy using N-terminal thiazolidine (Thz) peptide and a newly designed formaldehyde scavenger. Among the designed 2-aminobenzamide-based aldehyde scavengers, 2-amino-5-methoxy-N',N'-dimethylbenzohydrazide (AMDBH) can remarkably convert Thz into unprotected cysteine at pH 4.0. Furthermore, AMDBH degrades Thz at a considerably low rate at pH 7.5, and thioester degradation caused by this scavenger is negligible. As a result, we have developed an efficient one-pot peptide ligation strategy by simply repetitively changing the pH with AMDBH. Finally, we synthesize mono-ubiquitinated histone H2A.Z (209 amino acids) via AMDBH-mediated one-pot four-segment peptide ligation in good yield.
