摘要:
A method of preparing an assembled peptide comprising:
a) binding a first peptide segment to a solid phase via a linker to form a solid phase-bound peptide; b) ligating at least a second peptide segment to said solid phase-bound peptide in aqueous solution to form a solid phase-bound peptide. Preferably the first and second peptide segments are unprotected, except that if the second peptide segment has an N-terminal cysteine, it is optionally protected.

The invention is directed to nucleophile-stable thioester generating compounds comprising an orthothioloester or a carboxyester thiol, methods of production and use. The compounds and methods have wide applicability in organic synthesis, including the generation of peptide-, polypeptide- and other polymer-thioesters. The invention is particularly useful for generating activated-thioesters from precursors that are made under conditions in which strong nucleophiles are employed, such as peptides or polypeptides made using Fmoc SPPS, as well as multi-step ligation or conjugation schemes that require (or benefit from the use of) compatible selective approaches for directing a specific ligation or conjugation reaction of interest.

The present invention concerns methods and compositions for extending the technique of native chemical ligation of a wider range of peptides, polypeptides, other polymers and other molecules via an amide bond (see FIG. 1 ). The invention further provides methods and uses for such proteins and derivatized proteins. The invention is particularly suitable for use in the synthesis of optionally polymer-modified, synthetic bioactive proteins, and of pharmaceutical compositions that contain such proteins.

The invention is directed to methods and compositions for aqueous-compatible solid phase chemical ligation. The methods and compositions of the invention involve the chemical ligation of first and second polymers, where the first polymer is attached to a support through a displaceable linker. The displaceable linker can be cleaved or otherwise displaced under aqueous conditions compatible with subsequent removal of the ligation product from the solid support. The methods and compositions of the invention are particularly useful for ligation of peptides and polypeptides on a solid support. The ligation system of the invention is applicable to a wide variety of molecules, and thus can be exploited to generate ligated polymers including peptides, polypeptides and other amino acid containing polymers.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for lipid matrix-assisted chemical ligation and synthesis of membrane polypeptides that are incorporated in a lipid matrix. The invention is exemplified in production of a prefolded membrane polypeptide embedded within a lipid matrix via stepwise chemoselective chemical ligation of unprotected peptide segments, where at least one peptide segment is embedded in a lipid matrix. Any chemoselective reaction chemistry amenable for ligation of unprotected peptide segments can be employed. Suitable lipid matrices include liposomes, micelles, cell membrane patches and optically isotropic cubic lipidic phase matrices. Prefolded synthetic and semi-synthetic membrane polypeptides synthesized according to the methods and compositions of the invention also permit site-specific incorporation of one or more detectable moieties, such as a chromophore, which can be conveniently introduced during synthesis. The methods and compositions of the invention have multiple uses. For example, they can be used to assay ligand binding to membrane polypeptides and domains comprising a receptor, and thus are extremely useful for structure/function studies, drug screening/selection/design, and diagnostics and the like, including high-throughput applications. The methods and compositions of the invention are particularly suited for FRET analyses of previously inaccessible membrane polypeptides.

摘要:
The invention concerns a multiplex polymer ligation method involving water-soluble polymeric protecting groups, compositions and methods of use. The method involves synthesis of a first compound bearing one or more water-soluble polymeric protecting groups followed by replacing one or more of the water-soluble protecting groups with a chemical adduct of interest. Multiple different compounds derived from the first compound can be readily prepared by splitting the first compound into first and second reaction systems, followed by replacing one or more of the water-soluble polymeric protecting groups of the first reaction system with a first chemical adduct, and replacing one or more of the water-soluble polymeric protecting groups of the second reaction system with a second chemical adduct of interest, where the first and second chemical adducts are different. Also provided are kits useful for carrying out the multiplex polymer ligation methods of the invention.
