The site-specific tagging of proteins with organic fluorophores [2] has been proven to be a powerful method in structural and functional studies of a wide range of biological systems.[3-5] The most challenging aspect of this approach is the regiospecific incorporation of a suitable fluorophore on or nearby a rationally selected amino acid residue within a protein chain. The demonstration that pyrrolysine (1, Figure 1), the 22nd geneticallyencoded amino acid, can be incorporated into recombinant proteins in response to the UAG codon,[6, 7] prompted us to search for similarly incorporable analogs of 1 harboring reactive functionalities suitable for anchoring small organic fluorophores. We previously reported the synthesis of the THF-containing lysine derivative 2 that reads through the UAG codon,[8] as does its close structural analog 3.[9] The latter compound, thanks to the presence of the terminal alkyne functionality, enables site-specific post-translational modification of the resulting protein with azide-based fluorophores via the CuI-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC). Our recent work has gone beyond the field of protein click chemistry resulting in the synthesis and application of the cysteine derivative 4 for protein ubiquitination via native chemical ligation.[10]The main obstacle in the widespread use of 3 stems from its inaccessibility and high cost associated with the length of its synthesis (16 steps from ascorbic acid).[9] The guiding principle in the design of both 2 and 3 was the desire to maintain the steric and electronic similarity between 1 and its analogues, as it was believed to be a prerequisite for a successful pyrrolysine mimic. An earlier report by Polycarpo et al.[1] on simple pyrrolysine analogs had seemed to reinforce this notion. In particular, lysine derivatives bearing an acyclic acyl substituent at N-6 had been reported not to read through the UAG codon. However, a more recent work by Yanagisawa et al.[11] revealed that some acyclic analogs can also serve as viable pyrrolysine substitutes. Moreover, it was also reported that even N6-acetyllysine, when supplied at high concentration [12] or in the presence of a PylS (pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase) mutant,[13] can be charged onto PylT (tRNAPyl) or even incorporated into recombinant proteins.
