The reduction of N-hydroxy-α-imino esters with Zn-MsOH in THF afforded α-amino esters in high yields. The reduction of N-hydroxy-α-iminocarbonyl-oligopeptide methyl esters prepared from L-phenylalanine and L-leucine di-, tri-, tetrapeptides gave the corre

Subunit-selective proteasome inhibitors are valuable tools to assess the biological and medicinal relevance of individual proteasome active sites. Whereas the inhibitors for the β1c, β1i, β5c, and β5i subunits exploit the differences in the substrate-binding channels identified by X-ray crystallography, compounds selectively targeting β2c or β2i could not yet be rationally designed because of the high structural similarity of these two subunits. Here, we report the development, chemical synthesis, and biological screening of a compound library that led to the identification of the β2c- and β2i-selective compounds LU-002c (4; IC50 β2c: 8 nM, IC50 β2i/β2c: 40-fold) and LU-002i (5; IC50 β2i: 220 nM, IC50 β2c/β2i: 45-fold), respectively. Co-crystal structures with β2 humanized yeast proteasomes visualize protein-ligand interactions crucial for subunit specificity. Altogether, organic syntheses, activity-based protein profiling, yeast mutagenesis, and structural biology allowed us to decipher significant differences of β2 substrate-binding channels and to complete the set of subunit-selective proteasome inhibitors.

Phosphothreonine (pThr)-embedded peptide catalysts are found to mediate the reductive amination of 3-amidocyclohexanones with divergent selectivity. The choice of peptide sequence can be used to alter the diastereoselectivity to favor either the cis-product or trans-product, which are obtained in up to 93:7 er. NMR studies and DFT calculations are reported and indicate that both pathways rely on secondary interactions between substrate and catalyst to achieve selectivity. Furthermore, catalysts appear to accomplish a parallel kinetic resolution of the substrates. The facility for phosphopeptides to tune reactivity and access multiple products in reductive aminations may translate to the diversification of complex substrates, such as natural products, at numerous reactive sites.
