Misacylation of tRNA with Ser-Pro Dipeptide for In Vitro Transcription-Translation.
Current protocols. 2024 March
Serine-proline (Ser-Pro) backbone-modified dipeptide analogues are powerful tools to investigate the role of cis-trans isomerization in the regulation of the cell cycle and transcription. These studies have previously been limited to synthetic peptides, whose synthesis is a challenge for larger peptides due to the compounding yield loss incurred in each step. We now introduce a method for the aminoacylation of tRNA with dipeptides and dipeptide analogs to permit the installation of cis- and trans-locked Ser-Pro analogues into full-length proteins. To that end, we synthesized the 3,5-dinitrobenzyl (DNB)-activated esters of a native Ser-Pro dipeptide and its cis- and trans-locked alkene analogs. Murakami et al. created the DNB flexizyme (dFx), a ribozyme that acylates tRNA with DNB esters of amino acids to permit unnatural amino acids to be incorporated into proteins. A tRNA from yeast that recognizes the amber stop codon, along with the dFx flexizyme, were generated by in vitro transcription with T7 RNA polymerase. dFx was used to successfully catalyze the chemical misacylation of truncated amber tRNA with the Ser-Pro-DNB activated dipeptide. This method allows the introduction of non-native Ser-Pro dipeptide mimics into full-length proteins by in vitro transcription-translation. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
