Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By the addition of elongation factor P (EF-P) to an E. coli reconstituted cell-free translation system, PURE system (Protein-synthesis Using Recombinant Elements systen), we successfully evaluated translation efficiency of cyclic N-alkyl amino acids in a library of mRNA-displayed highly N-alkylated polycyclic peptidomimetics. By using bio-orthognal chemical reaction or enzymatic reaction, we developed a novel method to incorporate electorically-charged N-alkyl amino acids to ribosomally synthesized peptides. By combining the PURE system with an mRNA display method, we successfully in vitro-evolved cyclized N-alkyl peptides targeted to VEGFR2 expressed in living human cells.
