Here, we report that wild type ribosomes accept and elongate precharged initiator tRNAs acylated with multiple benzoic acids, including aramid precursors, as well as malonyl (1,3-dicarbonyl) substrates to generate a diverse set of aramid-peptide and polyketide-peptide hybrid molecules. This work expands the scope of ribozyme- and ribosome-catalyzed chemical transformations, provides a starting point for translation engineering efforts, and offers an alternative strategy for the biosynthesis of polyketide-peptide natural products.
在此,我们报道野生型核糖体能够接受并延长用多种苯甲酸(包括芳酰胺前体)以及丙二酰(1,3 - 二羰基)底物酰化的预充电起始tRNA,以生成多种芳酰胺 - 肽和聚酮 - 肽杂合分子。这项工作扩展了核酶和核糖体催化的化学转化的范围,为翻译工程研究提供了一个起点,并为聚酮 - 肽天然产物的生物合成提供了一种替代策略。
