Abstract
Previous studies have led to opposing hypotheses about the requirement of intermolecular disulfide exchange in the binding of the iron regulatory peptide hepcidin to its receptor ferroportin. To clarify this issue, we used the diaminodiacid approach to replace the disulfide bonds in hepcidin with non-reducible thioether bonds. Our results implied that disulfide exchange is not required for the interaction between hepcidin and ferroportin. This theory is further supported by our development of biologically active minihepcidins that do not show activity dependence on cysteine.

Abstract
A counterintuitive freezing-induced peptide ligation was discovered during the total synthesis of human interferon-ε (hIFN-ε) which blocks HIV infection through unique mechanisms. The successful synthesis of hIFN-ε (187 amino acids) in this research laid the foundation for related anti-AIDS drug development. Moreover, alanine mutation based on sequence alignment to solve the maldistribution of the ligation site and freezing-induced dominant conformation that facilitates peptide ligation are expected to be helpful for the synthesis of macrobiomolecules.

Abstract
One-pot multiple peptide ligation is a key technology to improve the efficiency of chemical protein synthesis. One-pot repetitive peptide ligation requires a cycle of three steps: peptide ligation, removal of a protecting group, and inactivation of the deprotection reagent. However, previous strategies are not sufficient because of harsh deprotection conditions, slow deprotection rates, and difficulty in quenching the deprotection reagent. To address these issues, we developed a rapid, efficient deprotection and subsequent quenching strategy using an allyloxycarbonyl group to protect the N-terminal cysteine residue. 4-Mercaptophenylacetic acid (MPAA), a thiol additive for native chemical ligation, functioned not only as a scavenger for π-allyl palladium complexes, but also as a quencher of palladium(0) complexes. By utilizing the multifunctionality of MPAA, we carried out a one-pot five-segment ligation to afford histone H2AX (142 amino acids), which was isolated in 59 % yield.

Abstract
The Piezo channel is a versatile mechanosensitive cation channel that mediates tactile, vascular development, and proprioception. GsMTx4 is the only reported inhibitor specifically targeting Piezo channels. Although the sequence of GsMTx4 is reported, the crystal structure of GsMTx4 is still unknown. Here, we achieved the two-segment synthesis of GsMTx4 and its enantiomer, enGsMTx4, through hydrazide based Native Chemical Ligation, and analyzed the crystal structure of GsMTx4 through the racemic crystallization technology. By analyzing the structure, we found that there is a hydrophobic patch surrounded by aromatic residues and charged residues.

Abstract
A robust, microwave-assisted, highly efficient, solid-phase peptide synthesis method for preparing isopeptide-linked 62-mer and 76-mer isoubiquitins and polyubiquitin is developed. The strategy avoids the use of costly resins and pseudoprolines, and the isopeptide-linked building blocks can be assembled with high initial purity within 1 day. All seven diubiquitins are successfully synthesized on a multi-milligram scale; a four-segment, three-ligation method is used to obtain a K33-/K11-linked mixed triubiquitin in excellent yield. Circular dichroism and crystallographic analyses are used to verify the structures of the well-folded, synthetic polyubiquitin chains. The facile synthetic strategy is expected to be generally applicable for the rapid synthesis of isopeptide-linked isoUbs and to pave the way for the study of longer polyubiquitin chains.

Abstract
In the post-genome era, epigenetics has received increasing attentions in recent years. The post-translational modifications (PTMs) of four core histones play central roles in epigenetic regulation of eukaryotic genome by either directly altering the biophysical properties of nucleosomes or by recruiting other effector proteins. In order to study the biological functions and structural mechanisms of these histone PTMs, an obligatory step is to prepare a sufficient amount of homogeneously modified histones. This task cannot be fully accomplished either by recombinant technology or enzymatic modification. In this context, synthetic chemists have developed novel protein synthetic tools and state-of-the-art chemical ligation strategies for the preparation of homologous modified histones. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the preparation of modified histones, focusing on the total chemical synthesis strategies. The importance and potential of synthetic chemistry for the study of histone code will be also discussed.

Abstract
A new thiol protecting group Hmb(off/on) is described, which has a switchable activity that may be useful in the chemical synthesis of proteins. When placed on the side chain of Cys, Cys(Hmb(off)) is stable to trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the process of solid-phase peptide synthesis. When Cys(Hmb(off)) is treated with neutral aqueous buffers, it is cleanly converted to acid-labile Cys(Hmb(on)), which can later be fully deprotected by TFA to generate free Cys. The utility of Cys(Hmb(off/on)) is demonstrated by the chemical synthesis of an erythropoietin segment, EPO[Cys(98)-Arg(166)]-OH through native chemical ligation.

Abstract
The synthesis of a peptide selenoester was efficiently carried out by the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) method using N-alkylcysteine, at the C-terminus of the peptide, as the N-to-S acyl shift device. The selenoester selectively reacted with the terminal amino group of the peptide aryl thioester in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine and dipyridyldisulfide, thus leaving the aryl thioester intact. Combined with silver-ion-promoted and silver-ion-free thioester activation methods, a one-pot four-segment ligation was realized. The method was successfully used to assemble the entire sequence of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is composed of 153 amino-acid residues, in one pot. After the folding reaction, the fully active SOD was obtained.

Abstract
Cysteine-mediated native chemical ligation is a powerful method for protein chemical synthesis. Herein, we report an unprecedentedly mild system (TCEP/NaBH4 or TCEP/LiBEt3 H; TCEP=tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine) for chemoselective peptide desulfurization to achieve effective protein synthesis via the native chemical ligation-desulfurization approach. This method, termed P-B desulfurization, features usage of common reagents, simplicity of operation, robustness, high yields, clean conversion, and versatile functionality compatibility with complex peptides/proteins. In addition, this method can be used for incorporating deuterium into the peptides after cysteine desulfurization by running the reaction in D2 O buffer. Moreover, this method enables the clean desulfurization of peptides carrying post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation and crotonylation. The effectiveness of this method has been demonstrated by the synthesis of the cyclic peptides dichotomin C and E and synthetic proteins, including ubiquitin, γ-synuclein, and histone H2A.

Abstract
Long, homogeneously glycosylated peptides and proteins can be assembled from multiple segments via sequential chemoselective reactions. The efficiency of the synthesis depends on the effectiveness and number of steps and on their compatibility with glycosylation methods. Here, we present how the combination of auxiliary-mediated native chemical ligation and thioester generation via hydrazinolysis from Wang-type resin enables multiple, sequential N-to-C and C-to-N ligations. The method can be applied to glycosylated peptides and peptide α-thioesters and has the potential to be further extended to sequential glycosylation, thus paving the way to the synthesis of complex homogeneous glycoproteins. We applied this methodology to the synthesis of long MUC1 variants comprising 2, 4 and 6 tandem repeats and three O-glycosylations.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of S403 or S407 of the autophagic receptor protein p62 has recently been discovered to enhance the binding of p62 with ubiquitinated protein substrates to upregulate selective autophagy. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of how phosphorylation regulates the recruitment of ubiquitinated proteins, we report the first chemical synthesis of homogeneously phosphorylated p62, which enables the setting up of accurate in vitro systems for biochemical studies. Our synthesis employs the technology of sortase A-mediated protein hydrazide ligation, which successfully affords three types of phosphorylated p62 at the multi-milligram scale. Quantitative biochemical measurements show that the binding affinity of S403/S407-bisphosphorylated p62 to K63 diubiquitin is significantly higher than that of mono-phosphorylated p62. This finding suggests that phosphorylated S403 and S407 sites should bind to different epitopes on the ubiquitin chain. Furthermore, glutamate mutation is found to give a significantly impaired binding affinity, implying the necessity of using chemically synthesized phosphorylated p62 for the biochemical study of selective autophagy.

Abstract
We show that the combination of solid phase and solution ligation techniques facilitates the production of a challenging and biologically active protein made of 180 amino acids.
Chemical protein synthesis gives access to well-defined native or modified proteins that are useful for studying protein structure and function. The majority of proteins synthesized up to now have been produced using native chemical ligation (NCL) in solution. Although there are significant advantages to assembling large peptides or proteins by solid phase ligation, reports of such approaches are rare. We report a novel solid phase method for protein synthesis which relies on the chemistry of the acetoacetyl group and ketoxime ligation for the attachment of the peptide to the solid support, and on a tandem transoximation/rearrangement process for the detachment of the target protein. Importantly, we show that the combination of solid phase and solution ligation techniques facilitates the production of a challenging and biologically active protein made of 180 amino acids. We show also that the solid phase method enables the purification of complex peptide segments through a chemoselective solid phase capture/release approach.

Abstract
Native chemical ligation and extended methodologies are the most popular chemoselective reactions for protein chemical synthesis. Their combination with desulfurization techniques can give access to small or challenging proteins that are exploited in a large variety of research areas. In this report, we have conducted a statistical review of their use for protein chemical synthesis in order to provide a flavor of the recent trends and identify the most popular chemical tools used by protein chemists. To this end, a protein chemical synthesis (PCS) database (http://pcs-db.fr) was created by collecting a set of relevant data from more than 450 publications covering the period 1994-2017. A preliminary account of what this database tells us is presented in this report.

Abstract
Acetylation of Atg3 regulates the lipidation of the protein Atg8 in autophagy. The molecular mechanism behind this important biochemical event remains to be elucidated. We describe the first semi-synthesis of homogeneous K19/K48-diacetylated Atg3 through sequential hydrazide-based native chemical ligation. In vitro reconstitution experiments with the semi-synthetic proteins confirm that Atg3 acetylation can promote the lipidation of Atg8. We find that acetylation of Atg3 enhances its binding to phosphatidylethanolamine-containing liposomes and to endoplasmic reticulum, through which it promotes the lipidation process.

Abstract
A convenient synthesis of a library of tetrazoles through a novel and operationally simple protocol effecting the direct conversion of arylboronic acids catalyzed by a new ONO pincer-type Pd(II) complex under mild reaction conditions using the readily available reagents is reported. The palladium complex was reused up to four cycles in an open-flask condition.
