| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, chemical methodology for the conversion of naturally occurring peptide sequences to the thioester units or their equivalent. We developed two innovative methodologies for this purpose. One methods uses the Ni(II)-coordination to four residue sequence, consisting of Ser-Xaa-His-Yaa. After coordination of the Ni(II) to the four residue sequence, four sequential acyl-transfer occurred to produce peptide hydrazide. The resulting hydrazide could be successfully converted to the corresponding thioesters. Other procedure utilizes the regioselective S-cyanylation followed by hydrazynolysis of the N-terminal side peptide bond of the cyanylation residue. This procedure allowed for the formation of thioester. Established two methodologies were successfully applied to the conversion of various type of naturally occurring peptide sequences to the corresponding peptide and protein thioesters. And such thioesters will find great utility for the semi-synthesis of antibody molecules.
