2'(3')-O-L-Phenylalanyl derivatives of N2,5'-anhydroformycin and N4,5'-anhydroformycin: new substrates for ribosomal peptidyltransferase with a fixed anti and syn conformation of the base. 1985

P Bhuta, and J Zemlicka

The 2'(3')-O-L-phenylalanyl-N2,5'-anhydroformycin (1c) and 2'(3')-O-L-phenylalanyl-N4,5'-anhydroformycin (2c), obtained by chemical synthesis, are substrates for ribosomal peptidyltransferase from Escherichia coli. Nucleoside 1c, which mimics an anti conformation of antibiotic formycin, has 80% of the acceptor activity of puromycin at 5 x 10(-4) M determined by the release of N-Ac-Phe residue from the 70 S ribosome-poly(U)-N-Ac-[14C]Phe-tRNA complex. The reaction product, 2'(3')-O-(N-acetyl)-L-phenylalanyl-L-phenylalanyl-N2,5'-anhydroformyc in (1d), was characterized by paper electrophoresis before and after alkaline hydrolysis. By contrast, nucleoside 2c, which resembles a syn conformation of formycin, exhibited only 20% of the acceptor activity of puromycin at 5 x 10(-4) M. The results which are in accord with previous models have shown that a substrate with its base in an anti conformation is preferable for the acceptor site of peptidyltransferase than the corresponding syn counterpart. Nevertheless, it is possible that an intermediate conformation, for example, high anti (amphi-minus), is an optimal arrangement for acceptor site substrates.
