Site-specific functionalization of proteins by organopalladium reactions

Chembiochem. 2007 Jan 22;8(2):232-8. doi: 10.1002/cbic.200600432.

Abstract

A new carbon-carbon bond has been regioselectively introduced into a target position (position 32 or 174) of the Ras protein by two types of organopalladium reactions (Mizoroki-Heck and Sonogashira reactions). Reaction conditions were screened by using a model peptide, and the stability of the Ras protein under the reaction conditions was examined by using the wild-type Ras protein. Finally, the iF-Ras proteins containing a 4-iodo-L-phenylalanine residue were subjected to organopalladium reactions with vinylated or propargylated biotin. Site-specific biotinylations of the Ras protein were confirmed by Western blot and LC-MS/MS.
