Abstract

Azoles are five-membered heterocycles often found in the backbones of peptidic natural products and synthetic peptidomimetics. Here, we report a method of ribosomal synthesis of azole-containing peptides involving specific ribosomal incorporation of a bromovinylglycine derivative into the nascent peptide chain and its chemoselective conversion to a unique azole structure. The chemoselective conversion was achieved by posttranslational dehydrobromination of the bromovinyl group and isomerization in aqueous media under fairly mild conditions. This method enables us to install exotic azole groups, oxazole and thiazole, at designated positions in the peptide chain with both linear and macrocyclic scaffolds and thereby expand the repertoire of building blocks in the mRNA-templated synthesis of designer peptides.
