RNA–peptide conjugates that mimic acylated tRNA termini are valuable compounds for structural and functional studies of the ribosomal elongation cycle, particularly if they contain a hydrolysis-resistant linkage between the RNA and the peptide moiety.[1] In a very reduced form, puromycin ((S)-3’-((2-amino-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-oxopropyl) amino)-3’-desoxy-N, N-dimethyladenosine), which possesses an amide instead of an ester junction, represents such a stable conjugate.[2] This mimic, for example, was positioned as a substrate in the P-site of the ribosomal peptidyl transferase center (PTC) to capture snapshots along the route to peptide bond formation, as analyzed by X-ray crystallography.[3] A more recent example made use of short, stable, 3’-aminoacyl-RNA conjugates to explore how the nascent peptide chain triggers ribosomal stalling, as analyzed by a variety of biochemical methods.[4] Straightforward experimental approaches to synthesize this type of bioconjugate are expected to stimulate further investigations and functional characterization of the different states along the ribosomal elongation cycle.[5]The total syntheses of 3’-aminoacyl-and 3’-peptidyl-RNA represent substantive challenges for organic chemists;[2c, d] therefore, a central focus of our research is the de novo synthesis of these derivatives.[6] We have recently elaborated a convergent strategy that involves native chemical ligation (NCL) of 3’-cysteinylamino-3’-deoxy-RNA and peptide thioesters.[7] NCL was originally developed to link unprotected peptide fragments under mild conditions, and this approach eventually emerged as a major advance in chemical protein synthesis.[8] Our work has shown that NCL can also work efficiently in the context of RNA [7] and therefore might serve as a launching point for further investigations in the field of RNA bioconjugation.
