Chemical Synthesis of Interleukin‐2 and Disulfide Stabilizing Analogues

Murar, Claudia E; Ninomiya, Mamiko; Shimura, Satomi; Karakus, Ufuk; Boyman, Onur; Bode, Jeffrey W (2020). Chemical Synthesis of Interleukin‐2 and Disulfide Stabilizing Analogues. Angewandte Chemie Internationale Edition, 59(22):8425-8429.

Abstract

Chemical protein synthesis allows the construction of well-defined structural variations and facilitates the development of deeper understanding of protein structure-function relationships and new protein engineering strategies. Herein, we report the chemical synthesis of interleukin-2 (IL-2) variants on a multimilligram scale and the formation of non-natural disulfide mimetics that improve stability against reduction. The synthesis was accomplished by convergent KAHA ligations; the acidic conditions of KAHA ligation proved to be valuable for the solubilization of the hydrophobic segments of IL-2. The bioactivity of the synthetic IL-2 and its analogues were shown to be equipotent to recombinant IL-2 and exhibit improved stability against reducing agents.
