With few exceptions, ribosomal protein synthesis begins with methionine (or its derivative N-formyl-methionine) across all domains of life. The role of methionine as the initiating amino acid is dictated by the unique structure of its cognate tRNA known as tRNAfMet. By mis-acylating tRNAfMet, we and others have shown that protein synthesis can be initiated with a variety of canonical and noncanonical amino acids both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, because the α-amine of the initiating amino acid is not required for peptide bond formation, translation can be initiated with a variety of structurally disparate carboxylic acids that bear little resemblance to traditional α-amino acids. Herein, we provide a detailed protocol to initiate in vitro protein synthesis with substituted benzoic acid and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. These moieties are introduced at the N-terminus of peptides by mis-acylated tRNAfMet, prepared by flexizyme-catalyzed tRNA acylation. In addition, we describe a protocol to initiate in vivo protein synthesis with aromatic noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs). This method relies on an engineered chimeric initiator tRNA that is acylated with ncAAs by an orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. Together, these systems are useful platforms for producing N-terminally modified proteins and for engineering the protein synthesis machinery of Escherichia coli to accept additional nonproteinogenic carboxylic acid monomers.
