We report the development of the orthogonal amber-suppressor pair Archaeoglobus fulgidus seryl-tRNA (Af-tRNA)/Methanosarcina mazei seryl-tRNA synthetase (MmSerRS) in Escherichia coli. Furthermore, the crystal structure of MmSerRS was solved at 1.45 Å resolution, which should enable structure-guided engineering of its active site to genetically encode small, polar noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs).
我们报告了古菌门火球菌丙氨酰-tRNA(Af-tRNA)/产甲烷八叠球菌丙氨酰-tRNA 合成酶(MmSerRS)正交琥珀终止密码子对在大肠杆菌中的开发。此外,MmSerRS 的晶体结构已解析至 1.45Å 分辨率,这应该能够通过结构指导工程改造其活性位点,从而实现对小的、极性非典型氨基酸(ncAA)的遗传编码。
