2-Aminobenzoic acid and heterocyclic amino acids are aromatic homologues of beta-amino acids, but their chemical properties are quite distinct. Because of the poor nucleophilicity of the amino group conjugated with the aromatic ring, no literature reports of their successful ribosomal elongation in nascent peptide chains have appeared to date. Here we report for the first time their incorporation in nascent peptide chains by means of a reconstituted translation system in which a designer tRNA(Pro1E2) capable of recruiting the elongation factors EF-Tu and EF-P was charged with their derivatives and the corresponding peptides were successfully expressed. We also demonstrate the expression of macrocyclic peptides containing exotic amino acids, including aminobenzoic acid derivatives.
