These pendant moieties are essential determinants of the biological activity and selective toxicity of ST antibiotics. We previously demonstrated that during ST biosynthesis, the beta-lysyl pendant moiety is installed by nonribosomal peptide synthetases, whereas the glycyl pendant moiety is generated by a Gly-tRNA(Gly)-dependent amide-forming enzyme. Here, we present a chemoenzymatic approach to transform aminoacyl pendant moieties using the promiscuous tRNA-dependent amide-forming enzyme Sba18. Remarkably, Sba18 generates two new ST derivatives, alanylthricin and serylthricin, by utilizing Ala-tRNA(Ala) and Ser-tRNA(Ser), respectively. Moreover, Sba18 accepts aminoacyl-tRNA mimics prepared by flexizyme-mediated charging of chemically synthesized aminoacyl groups and produces additional 11 ST derivatives. Alanylthricin and serylthricin retain antibiotic activity, demonstrating that this tRNA-dependent chemoenzymatic approach provides a viable strategy for expanding the structural diversity of streptothricin antibiotics. Furthermore, structural comparison of Sba18 with its Gly-tRNA(Gly)-specific orthologue Sbb17 elucidates the catalytic and substrate-recognition mechanisms underlying the broad specificity of Sba18. These structural insights provide a foundation for expanding the structural diversity not only of ST antibiotics but also of other peptide natural products biosynthesized using aminoacyl-tRNAs. tRNA-Dependent Chemoenzymatic Transformation of Aminoacyl Pendant Moieties of Streptothricin Antibiotics.,Maruyama C, Nakashima Y, Matsuda K, A Hamdy S, Uchiyama S, Goto Y, Mori T, Ogasawara Y, Shin-Ya K, Abe I, Dairi T, Suga H, Morita H, Hamano Y J Am Chem Soc. 2026 Mar 25;148(11):12154-12165. doi: 10.1021/jacs.6c00367.
