We report the development of the orthogonal amber-suppressor pair Archaeoglobus fulgidus seryl-tRNA (Af-tRNASer)/Methanosarcina mazei seryl-tRNA synthetase (MmSerRS) in Escherichia coli. Furthermore, the crystal structure of MmSerRS was solved at 1.45 ? resolution, which should enable structure-guided engineering of its active site to genetically encode small, polar noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs).

The nucleoside antibiotic ascamycin (2-chloro-5'-O-(N-(L-alanyl)sulfamoyl)adenosine (1)) has been synthesized by an improved procedure involving the direct condensation of 2-chloro-2',3'-O-isopropylidene-5'-O-sulfamoyladenosine (3) with Boc-L-Ala-OSu in DMF and the presence of DBU, followed by removal of the protecting groups.A similar condensation of 3 with Boc-D-Ala-Osu and Boc-Gly-Osu, and subsequent deprotection, yielded the D-Ala and Gly analogues of 1, namely 2-chloro-5'-O-(N-(D-alanyl)sulfamoyl) and 2-chloro-5'-O-(N-(glycyl)sulfamoyl)adenosine (D-ascamycin (14) and (18)).Similar reactions of 2',3'-O-isopropylidene-5'-O-sulfamoyladenosine, (6) with the tree amino acid derivatives above mentioned provided the corresponding adenosine analogues 12,16, and 20.Several studies directed to demonstrate that the previous protection of the 6-NH2 group of the adenosine derivatives 3 and 6 is not necessary for the selective aminoacylation of the SO2NH2 group are also reported.

Two nonhydrolyzable prolyl adenylate analogs, 5'-O-[N-(L-prolyl)-sulfamoyl]adenosine (L-PSA) and 5'-O-[N-(D-prolyl)-sulfamoyl]adenosine (D-PSA), were prepared in three steps from 2',3'-di-O-isopropylideneadenosine. Both of these compounds inhibited the in vitro activity of Escherichia coli and human prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS). The human enzyme used in this study was derived from the carboxy-terminal domain of the multifunctional human EPRS gene. The K(i)(ATP) values for L-PSA, determined using the ATP-PP(i) exchange assay, are very similar for both synthetases (~1-2 nM). The K(i)(Pro) values, on the other hand, vary approximately seven-fold between the two synthetases (0.6 nM for human and 4.3 nM for E. coli). The K(i) values measured for the D-PSA analog are much higher (51-470 nM) for all cases examined; however, the same species-specific differences are observed with respect to K(i)(Pro). These results indicate possible structural differences in or near the active sites of the two enzymes that may be exploited in the future design of compounds that function as species-specific synthetase inhibitors in vivo.

Iron is essential for the pathogenicity and virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which synthesises salicyl-capped siderophores (mycobactins) to acquire this element from the host. MbtA is the adenylating enzyme that catalyses the initial reaction of mycobactin biosynthesis and is solely expressed by mycobacteria. A 3200-member library comprised of lead-like, structurally diverse compounds was screened against M. tuberculosis for whole-cell inhibitory activity. A set of 846 compounds that inhibited the tubercle bacilli growth were then tested for their ability to bind to MbtA using a fluorescence-based thermal shift assay and NMR-based Water-LOGSY and saturation transfer difference (STD) experiments. We identified an attractive hit molecule, 5-hydroxyindol-3-ethylamino-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl)benzene (5), that bound with high affinity to MbtA and produced a MIC90 value of 13 μm. The ligand was docked into the MbtA crystal structure and displayed an excellent fit within the MbtA active pocket, adopting a binding mode different from that of the established MbtA inhibitor Sal-AMS.
