Abstract
Limited understanding of human proteoforms with complex posttranslational modifications and the underlying mechanisms poses a major obstacle to research on human health and disease. This Outlook discusses opportunities and challenges of de novo chemical protein synthesis in human proteoform studies. Our analysis suggests that to develop a comprehensive, robust, and cost-effective methodology for chemical synthesis of various human proteoforms, new chemistries of the following types need to be developed: (1) easy-to-use peptide ligation chemistries allowing more efficient de novo synthesis of protein structural domains, (2) robust temporary structural support strategies for ligation and folding of challenging targets, and (3) efficient transpeptidative protein domain-domain ligation methods for multidomain proteins. Our analysis also indicates that accurate chemical synthesis of human proteoforms can be applied to the following aspects of biomedical research: (1) dissection and reconstitution of the proteoform interaction networks, (2) structural mechanism elucidation and functional analysis of human proteoform complexes, and (3) development and evaluation of drugs targeting human proteoforms. Overall, we suggest that through integrating chemical protein synthesis with in vivo functional analysis, mechanistic biochemistry, and drug development, synthetic chemistry would play a pivotal role in human proteoform research and facilitate the development of precision diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Rhizomides are a family of depsipeptide macrolactones synthesized by a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) encoded in the genome of Paraburkholderia rhizoxinica str. HKI 454. In this study, the total and chemoenzymatic synthesis of the depsipeptide rhizomide A is described. Rhizomide A was generated through macrolactamization while thelinear C-terminal N-acetylcysteamine (SNAC) thioester substrate was synthesized through a C-terminal thioesterification strategy. It was shown that the rhizomide A thioesterase (RzmA-TE) is an active macrocyclization catalyst, allowing the chemoenzymatic synthesis of rhizomide A.This work further showcases the biocatalytic power of TEs in accessing complex macrocyclic natural products.

Abstract
Chemical protein synthesis (CPS) is a consolidated field founded on the high chemospecificity of amide-forming reactions, most notably the native chemical ligation (NCL), but also on new technologies such as the Ser/Thr ligation of C-terminal salicylaldehyde esters and the α-ketoacid-hydroxylamine (KAHA) condensation. NCL was conceptually devised for the ligation of peptides having a C-terminal thioester and an N-terminal cysteine. The synthesis of C-terminal peptide thioesters has attracted a lot of interest, resulting in the invention of a wide diversity of different methods for their preparation. The N-acylurea (Nbz) approach relies on the use of the 3,4-diaminobenzoic (Dbz-COOH) and the 3-amino-(4-methylamino)benzoic (MeDbz-COOH) acids; the latter disclosed to eliminate the formation of branching peptides. Dbz-COOH has been also used for the development of the benzotriazole (Bt)-mediated NCL, in which the peptide-Dbz-CONH2 precursor is oxidized to a highly acylating peptide-Bt-CONH2 species. Here, we have brought together the Nbz and Bt approaches in a versatile linker, the 1,2-diaminobenzene (Dbz). The Dbz combines the robustness of MeDbz-COOH and the flexibility of Dbz-COOH: it can be converted into the Nbz or Bt C-terminal peptides. Both are ligated in high yields, and the reaction intermediates can be conveniently characterized. Our results show that the Bt precursors have faster NCL kinetics that is reflected by a rapid transthioesterification (<5 min). Taking advantage of this major acylating capacity, peptide-Bt can be transselenoesterified in the presence of selenols to afford peptide selenoesters which hold enormous potential in NCL.

Abstract
Native chemical ligation is a widely used technique for peptide fragment condensation in aqueous solutions, which has broken through the length limitation of traditional solid-phase peptide synthesis. It can achieve high-efficient chemical synthesis of proteins containing more than 300 amino acid residues. Peptide hydrazide, as a valuable reagent equivalent to a thioester peptide, can be easily and efficiently prepared by the Fmoc-based SPPS method and has been widely used in native chemical ligation. Here we take the chemical synthesis of a SARS-CoV-2 miniprotein inhibitor LCB1 as an example to describe the detailed procedure of hydrazide-based native chemical ligation.

Abstract
The chemical synthesis of proteins allows for the precise control of structural information at the atomic level, overcoming the limits of protein expression. Peptide hydrazides are widely used as thioester equivalents in the total chemical synthesis and semisynthesis of proteins as they can be easily prepared using standard solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and recombinant peptide techniques. Via treatment with NaNO2 and subsequent thiolysis, peptide hydrazides can be rapidly converted to peptide thioesters, which then selectively react with recombinant protein containing an N-terminal cysteine (Cys) to form a native peptide bond, thereby linking the two peptide segments without isolating any intermediates.

Abstract
We herein report a robust upgraded synthetic protocol for the synthesis of N-Hnb-Cys crypto-thioester peptides, useful building blocks for segment-based chemical protein synthesis through native chemical ligation. We recently observed the formation of an isomeric co-product when using a different solid support than the originally-reported one, thus hampering the general applicability of the methodology. We undertook a systematic study to characterize this compound and identify the parameters favouring its formation. We show here that epimerization from l- to d-cysteine occurred during the key solid-supported reductive amination step. We also observed the formation of imidazolidinones by-products arising from incomplete reduction of the imine. Structural characterization combined with the deciphering of underlying reaction mechanisms allowed us to optimize conditions that abolished the formation of all these side-products.

Abstract
Protein ubiquitination regulates almost every process in eukaryotic cells. The study of the many enzymes involved in the ubiquitination system and the development of ubiquitination-associated therapeutics are important areas of current research. Synthetic tools such as ubiquitin-based chemical probes have been making an increasing contribution to deciphering various biochemical components involved in ubiquitin conjugation, recruitment, signaling, and deconjugation. In the present minireview, we summarize the progress of ubiquitin-based chemical probes with an emphasis on their various structures and chemical synthesis. We discuss the utility of the ubiquitin-based chemical probes for discovering and profiling ubiquitin-dependent signaling systems, as well as the monitoring and visualization of ubiquitin-related enzymatic machinery. We also show how the probes can serve to elucidate the molecular mechanism of recognition and catalysis. Collectively, the development and application of ubiquitin-based chemical probes emphasizes the importance and utility of chemical protein synthesis in modern chemical biology. This article reviews the design, synthesis, and application of different classes of Ub-based chemical probes.![]()

Abstract
We report an Fmoc-compatible and external-thiol-free method of peptide C-terminus thioesterification with cysteinylprolyl imide. The newly synthesized structure, i.e., cysteinylprolyl-thiazolidinone, provided high conversion and sequence-independent fast kinetics (90 min) in the diketopiperazine thioester formation under relatively mild conditions: pH 6.0, 37 °C. Employing this thioesterification method, we synthesized histone H3.2 bearing K56 acetylation.

Abstract
A prompt preparation method of the Fmoc-aminoacyl-N-alkylcysteine dipeptide by an Ugi four-component condensation reaction is described. Through a reaction with a commercially available Fmoc-amino acid, an amine, an isocyanide, and a mercaptoacetaldehyde derivative, one step synthesis of dipeptides containing 20 kinds of natural amino acid residues was achieved, which avoided the problematic N-alkylation of S-tritylcysteine and its coupling reaction. The dipeptide was applied to the Fmoc-solid-phase peptide synthesis, and peptide thioesters were successfully obtained in high efficiency via N-alkylcysteine (NAC)-assisted thioesterification.

Abstract
A new crypto-thioester, cysteinylprolyl imide (CPI) peptide, offers a practical synthetic pathway and reliable reaction rate to be successfully applied to chemical protein synthesis.
Native chemical ligation (NCL) between the C-terminal peptide thioester and the N-terminal cysteinyl-peptide revolutionized the field of chemical protein synthesis. The difficulty of direct synthesis of the peptide thioester in the Fmoc method has prompted the development of crypto-thioesters that can be efficiently converted into thioesters. Cysteinylprolyl ester (CPE), which is an N–S acyl shift-driven crypto-thioester that relies on an intramolecular O–N acyl shift to displace the amide-thioester equilibrium, enabled trans-thioesterification and subsequent NCL in one pot. However, the utility of CPE is limited because of the moderate thioesterification rates and the synthetic complexity introduced by the ester group. Herein, we develop a new crypto-thioester, cysteinylprolyl imide (CPI), which replaces the alcohol leaving group of CPE with other leaving groups such as benzimidazolidinone, oxazolidinone, and pyrrolidinone. CPI peptides were efficiently synthesized by using standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and subsequent on-resin imide formation. Screening of the several imide structures indicated that methyloxazolidinone-t-leucine (MeOxd-Tle) showed faster conversion into thioester and higher stability against hydrolysis under NCL conditions. Finally, by using CPMeOxd-Tle peptides, we demonstrated the chemical synthesis of affibody via N-to-C sequential, three-segment ligation and histone H2A.Z via convergent four-segment ligation. This facile and straightforward method is expected to be broadly applicable to chemical protein synthesis.

Abstract
Peptidyl thioesters or their surrogates with C-terminal β-branched hydrophobic amino acid residues usually exhibit poor reactivities in ligation reactions. Thus, activation using exogenous additives is required to ensure an acceptable reaction efficiency. Herein, we report a traceless ligation at Val-Xaa sites under mild thiol additive-free reaction conditions, whereby the introduction of β-mercaptan on the C-terminal valine residue effectively activates the otherwise unreactive N-acyl-benzimidazolinone (Nbz), and enables the use of a one-pot ligation-desulfurization strategy to generate the desired peptide products. The orthogonality between β-thiovaline-Nbz and a conventional alkyl thioester, as well as the convenient access to the former from readily available penicillamine, also allowed expedited assembly of the peptidic hormone β-LPH and hPTH analogues, based on a kinetically controlled one-pot three-segment ligation and desulfurization strategy.

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
Peptide Weinreb amide derivatives with an N-substituted mercaptoethyl group are designed as thioester precursors for native chemical ligation. We show that these amides undergo rapid ligation with a cysteinyl peptide under normal NCL conditions to form various Xaa-Cys peptide bonds, including the difficult Val-Cys junction. Facile synthesis of the Weinreb amide linkers allows easy access to this new type of peptide thioester precursor by standard Fmoc solid phase synthesis.

Abstract
An N-sulfanylethylaminooxybutyramide (SEAoxy) has been developed as a novel thioester equivalent for native chemical ligation. SEAoxy peptide was straightforwardly synthesized by conventional Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis without a problem. Moreover, SEAoxy peptide could be directly applied to native chemical ligation owing to the intramolecular N-to-S acyl shift that releases the peptide-thioester in situ. This methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of two bioactive peptides.

Abstract
Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis of peptide thioesters by displacement of the cyclic urethane moiety obtained by the selective activation of C-terminal serine.
Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis of thioesters for the chemical synthesis of proteins via native chemical ligation is a challenge. We have developed a versatile approach for direct synthesis of peptide thioesters from a solid support utilizing Fmoc chemistry. Peptide thioester synthesis is performed by the formation of a cyclic urethane moiety via a selective reaction of the backbone amide chain with the side group of serine. The activated cyclic urethane moiety undergoes displacement by a thiol to generate the thioester directly from the solid support. Importantly, the method activates the serine residue for the synthesis of peptide thioesters; thus it is fully automated and free of the types of resins, linkers, handles, and unnatural amino acids typically needed for the synthesis of peptide thioesters using Fmoc chemistry. The resulting thioester is free of epimerization and is successfully applied for the synthesis of longer peptides using NCL.

Abstract
N-Sulfanylethylcoumarinyl amide (SECmide) peptide, which was initially developed for use in the fluorescence-guided detection of promoters of N-S acyl transfer, was successfully applied to a facile and side reaction-free protocol for N-S acyl-transfer-mediated synthesis of peptide thioesters. Additionally, 4-mercaptobenzylphosphonic acid (MBPA) was proven to be a useful catalyst for the SECmide or N-sulfanylethylanilide (SEAlide)-mediated NCL reaction.

Abstract
A bio-inspired method for the synthesis of peptide thioester surrogates for native chemical ligation was developed. The process can be fully automated and does not require postsynthetic steps.
Despite recent advances, the direct Fmoc-based solid phase synthesis of peptide α-thioesters for the convergent synthesis of proteins via native chemical ligation (NCL) remains a challenge in the field. We herein report a simple and general methodology, enabling access to peptide thioester surrogates. A novel C-terminal N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)cysteine thioesterification device based on an amide-to-thioester rearrangement was developed, and the resulting peptide crypto-thioesters can be directly used in NCL reactions with fast N → S shift kinetics at neutral pH. These fast kinetics arise from our bio-inspired design, via intein-like intramolecular catalysis. Due to a well-positioned phenol moiety, an impressive >50 fold increase in the kinetic rate is observed compared to an O-methylated derivative. Importantly, the synthesis of this new device can be fully automated using inexpensive commercially available materials and does not require any post-synthetic steps prior to NCL. We successfully applied this new method to the synthesis of two long naturally-occurring cysteine-rich peptide sequences.

Abstract
Peptide thioesters are very useful in protein chemistry, and chemistry- and biochemistry-based protocols are used for the preparation of thioesters. Among such protocols, only a few biochemistry-based approaches have been use for naturally occurring peptide sequences. The development of chemistry-based protocols applicable to natural sequences remains a challenge, and the development of such methods would be a major contribution to protein science. Here, we describe the preparation of peptide thioesters using innovative methodology that features nickel(II)-mediated alcoholysis of a naturally occurring peptide sequence, followed by O−N and N−S acyl transfers. This protocol involves sequential quadruple acyl transfer, termed SQAT. Notably, the SQAT system consists of sequential chemical reactions that allow naturally occurring peptide sequences to be converted to thioesters without requiring an artificial chemical unit.
