Bioincorporation of the methionine analogue S-(2-fluoroethyl)-l-homocysteine (l-MFE) into bacteriophage lysozyme overproduced in Escherichia coli results not only in the expected l-MFE incorporation but surprisingly substantial l-vinthionine incorporation into the labeled lysozymes. Synthetic l-vinthionine itself however is not activated by purified Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase. The indirect preparation of vinthionine-containing proteins has the potential to be an alternate strategy to prepare vinyl thioether moieties for click chemistry applications on proteins.
