Ignoring the STOP sign: A pyrrolysine analogue bearing a terminal alkyne was site-specifically incorporated into recombinant calmodulin (CaM) through a UAG codon. The resulting protein was labeled with an azide-containing dye using a copper(I)-catalyzed click reaction. Subsequent application of an orthogonal cysteine tagging method yielded a CaM labeled with two distinct fluorophores that enabled its study by FRET spectroscopy.
一种带有末端炔烃的吡咯赖氨酸类似物通过UAG密码子位点特异性地掺入重组钙调蛋白(CaM)中。使用铜(I)催化的点击反应,用含叠氮化物的染料对所得蛋白质进行标记。随后应用正交半胱氨酸标记方法得到了用两种不同荧光团标记的CaM,这使得能够通过荧光共振能量转移(FRET)光谱对其进行研究。
