Figure 7. (left) Enzymatic ligation of the full-length tRNACys-30ꢀNH-
CWVRM-NH2 and (right) ribosomal binding assay using chemical probing
(by CMCT) and primer extension analysis of E. coli 23S rRNA. The footprint
at U2585 indicates efficient tRNAꢀpeptide conjugate binding to the ribosomal
P-site of the peptidyl transferase center (PTC). For details, see the main text.
Taken together, these results indicate that our approach creates
efficient access to hydrolysis-resistant, biologically active 30-peptidylꢀ
tRNA mimics. With the use of native chemical ligation, greater side-
chain flexibility is achieved in comparison with the previously intro-
duced route that relied exclusively on solid-phase synthesis.14 Using
this novel approach, we have obtained five resistance peptideꢀRNA
conjugates that are awaited for structural and functional ribosomal
studies to shed light on that specific antibiotic resistance phenomenon.
