A new class of N-linked protein glycosylation - arginine rhamnosylation - has recently been discovered as a critical modification for the function of bacterial elongation factor P (EF-P). Herein, we describe the synthesis of suitably protected α- and β-rhamnosylated arginine amino acid "cassettes" that can be directly installed into rhamnosylated peptides. Preparation of a proteolytic fragment of EF-P bearing both α- and β-rhamnosylated arginine enabled the unequivocal determination of the native glycosidic linkage to be α through 2D NMR and nano-UHPLC-tandem mass spectrometry studies.
最近发现了一类新的N-连接蛋白糖基化——精氨酸鼠李糖基化——是细菌延伸因子P(EF-P)功能的关键修饰。在此,我们描述了可直接安装到鼠李糖基化肽中的适当保护的α-和β-鼠李糖基化精氨酸氨基酸“盒”的合成。制备同时含有α-和β-鼠李糖基化精氨酸的EF-P蛋白水解片段,通过二维核磁共振和纳升超高效液相色谱-串联质谱研究,明确确定了天然糖苷键为α型。
