additional information development of a one-plasmid expression system encoding an inducible modified tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, the orthogonal cognate suppressor tRNA, and eGFPUAG in an individually regulatable fashion, overview. Assessment of the system for the incorporation of a non-natural amino acid yielding a fluorescent readout. Mutant library construction by random mutagenesis, and selection for O-methyl-L-tyrosine-specific mutant variants Methanocaldococcus jannaschii
Y32Q/D158A/L162P/D286R The engineered enzyme is improved with specificity for O-methyl-L-tyrosine and 10fold improved incorporation. The optimized synthetase is used for the preparative expression of a modified uvGFP carrying MeTyr at position 66 as part of its fluorophore. This biosynthetic protein shows quantitative incorporation of the non-natural amino acid, The Asp286Arg mutation serves for improved recognition of the CUA anticodon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii
