This paper outlines chemically and enzymatically synthesized S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) analogs and their use in the site-specific modification of RNA by methyltransferases, enabling the facile attachment of clickable moieties to the nucleic acid. We then focus on methodological aspects of setting up a methyltransferase-based enzymatic cascade reaction starting from methionine analogs. This strategy is applied to the one-pot modification of the mRNA cap which is subsequently derivatized in copper free and copper-catalyzed click reactions. We show that high transfer efficiencies to the cap are obtained using Se-propargyl-, hexenynyl- and azido-bearing methionine analogs. By switching to other methyltransferases our one-pot modification approach should be directly applicable to the regiospecific modification of other target molecules including nucleic acids, proteins and small molecules.
