Ribosome-Mediated Incorporation of Hydrazinophenylalanine into Modified Peptide and Protein Analogues
摘要:
(S)-alpha-Hydrazinophenylalanyl-tRNA(Phe), an amino acyl-tRNA derivative containing the unnatural amino acid (S)-alpha-hydrazinophenylalanine, was prepared in an effort to examine the stereochemical requirements of the A-site of the ribosome during in vitro protein synthesis. The (S)-alpha-hydrazinophenylalanine moiety was of interest because it contains two nucleophilic centers, the secondary nitrogen attached to Ca, which is normally acylated during the course of peptide bond formation, and the sterically less hindered primary nitrogen. To determine the position of acylation, (S)-alpha-hydrazinophenylalanyl-tRNA(Phe) was tested in an Escherichia coli in vitro protein biosynthesizing system lacking elongation factor G, such that only dipeptide products were formed. The dipeptide product mixture was analyzed by HPLC in direct comparison with authentic synthetic standards. The dipeptide assay utilizing (S)-alpha-hydrazinophenylalanyl-tRNA(Phe) as the A-site tRNA established that the analogue functioned well as an acceptor tRNA; HPLC analysis of the products showed that both dipeptides were formed in approximately equal amounts. When attached to a suppressor tRNA transcript, (S)-alpha-hydrazinophenylalanine was also incorporated into position 27 of dihydrofolate reductase in an E. coli protein synthesizing system by readthrough of a nonsense codon. This finding expands the currently accepted model of peptide bond formation at the ribosome and adds to the repertoire of peptide-like products shown to form at the peptidyltransferase center of the ribosome.

The stabilization of β-sheet secondary structure through peptide backbone modification represents an attractive approach to protein mimicry. Here, we present strategies toward stable β-hairpinfolds based on peptide strand N-amination. Novel pyrazolidinone and tetrahydropyridazinone dipeptide constraints were introduced via on-resin Mitsunobu cyclization between α-hydrazino acid residues and a serine

amide substituents have received less attention due, in part, to the lack of practical synthetic strategies. Here, we report the synthesis of α-hydrazino acids derived from 19 out of the 20 canonical proteinogenic amino acids and demonstrate their use in the solid-phase synthesis of N-amino peptide derivatives.

acids suitable for chemoselective incorporation into growing peptide chains. Acid-catalyzed cyclization to form the Tpd ring during cleavage affords the target peptidomimetics in good yield and purity. The scope of Tpd incorporation is demonstrated through the synthesis of constrained peptides featuring nucleophilic/electrophilic side chains and sterically encumbered α-substituted hydrazino acid residues

The conformational heterogeneity of backbone N‐substituted peptides limits their ability to adopt stable secondary structures. Herein, we describe a practical synthesis of backbone aminated peptides that readily adopt β‐sheet folds. Data derived from model N‐amino peptides suggest that extendedconformations are stabilized through cooperative steric, electrostatic, and hydrogen‐bonding interactions
