Synthesis and Evaluation of a Library of Fluorescent Dipeptidomimetic Analogues as Substrates for Modified Bacterial Ribosomes

Abstract: Described herein are the synthesis and photophysical characterization of a library of aryl-substituted oxazole- and thiazole-based dipeptidomimetic analogues, and their incorporation into position 66 of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in lieu of the natural fluorophore. These fluorescent analogues resemble the fluorophore formed naturally by GFP. As anticipated, the photophysical properties of the analogues varied as a function of the substituents at the para position of the phenyl ring. The fluorescence emiss… Show more

“…For example, Hecht introduced 6-cyano tryptophan as a FRET pair to study the binding of several proteins to DNA labeled with fluorescent nucleobases [26]. Using the dipeptidyl-tRNA tolerant ribosomes, he incorporated aryl oxazole and thiazole dipeptide mimics into the GFP structure, leading to the formation of modified fluorophores and fluorescent proteins [27]. Introduction of ncAAs has also made its mark in the synthesis of radiolabeled proteins for PET imaging.…”

“…In addition, ongoing studies show the potential of amino and amido-oxazoles to act as fluorescent dipeptidomimetics ( Fig. 1 ) [ 9 ]. Due to their diene character, oxazoles find also use as intermediates in the synthesis of other organic scaffolds such as furans and pyridines, via cycloaddition/retro-cycloaddition tandem processes ( Fig.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, the only adequate approach reported in the literature is the use of a mutated ribosome that incorporates azolecontaining dipeptide units into the nascent peptide chain [30][31][32][33][34] . Unfortunately, the incorporation of such azole-containing dipeptide units into the nascent peptide chain was very modest where only 1-7% efficiency was observed for the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) mutants compared to the wildtype GFP expression even using the dedicated mutant ribosome (i.e., the conventional wildtype ribosome could not do the job at all) 31,32 . This implies that direct incorporation of azole moiety via such a peptidyl-transfer reaction is yet an arduous task.…”
