4-chloroprolines: synthesis, conformational analysis, and effect on the collagen triple helix
Matthew D Shoulders et al. Biopolymers. 2008 May.
Abstract
Collagen is an abundant, triple-helical protein comprising three strands of the repeating sequence: Xaa-Yaa-Gly. (2S)-Proline and (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (Hyp) are common in the primary structure of collagen. Here, we use nonnatural proline derivatives to reveal determinants of collagen stability. Specifically, we report high-yielding syntheses of (2S,4S)-4-chloroproline (clp) and (2S,4R)-4-chloroproline (Clp). We find that the molecular structure of Ac-Clp-OMe in the solid state is virtually identical to that of Ac-Hyp-OMe. In contrast, the conformational properties of Ac-clp-OMe are similar to those of Ac-Pro-OMe. Ac-Clp-OMe has a stronger preference for a trans amide bond than does Ac-Pro-OMe, whereas Ac-clp-OMe has a weaker preference. (Pro-Clp-Gly)(10) forms triple helices that are significantly more stable than those of (Pro-Pro-Gly)(10). Triple helices of (clp-Pro-Gly)(10) have stability similar to those of (Pro-Pro-Gly)(10). Unlike (Pro-Clp-Gly)(10) and (clp-Pro-Gly)(10), (clp-Clp-Gly)(10) does not form a stable triple helix, presumably due to a deleterious steric interaction between proximal chlorines on different strands. These data, which are consistent with previous work on 4-fluoroprolines and 4-methylprolines, support the importance of stereoelectronic and steric effects in the stability of the collagen triple helix and provide another means to modulate that stability.

Ring conformations of 4-substituted prolines. The Cγ -endo conformation is favored strongly by stereoelectronic effects when R1 = H, R2 = F (flp) or Cl (clp) and by steric effects when R1 = Me (mep), R2 = H. The Cγ -exo conformation is favored strongly by stereoelectronic effects when R1 = OH (Hyp), F (Flp) or Cl (Clp), R2 = H and by steric effects when R1 = H, R2 = Me (Mep).
