摘要:
In the method for introducing a noncanonical amino acid residue into a desired position in a protein, the structure of tRNA is so modified as to have improved affinity for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase or improved specificity to aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. An unnatural base is contained at any position in tRNA, whereby the efficiency of aminoacylation of the tRNA with a noncanonical amino acid can be improved.

The present invention relates to novel unnatural fluorescent nucleic acid bases, that is, a purine base, a 1-deazapurine base, and a 1,7-deazapurine base each having a functional group which consists of two or more heterocyclic moieties linked together, at the 6-position thereof (the 6-position of purine ring). The present invention also relates to a compound containing the unnatural base, a derivative thereof, and a nucleic acid containing a nucleotide having the unnatural base. The present invention also relates to a method of preparing the nucleic acid. The unnatural base of the present invention has excellent fluorescence characteristics and also has excellent properties as a universal base.
摘要:
Producing proteins incorporating non-natural amino acids can involve introducing genes into and knocking inherent genes out of eukaryote-type cells. Genes to be introduced include genes encoding eukaryote-type aminoacyl tRNA synthetase mutants having enhanced specificity to non-natural amino acids, compared with specificity to similar natural amino acids, and tRNA genes for non-natural amino acids capable of binding to the non-natural amino acids in the presence of the eukaryote-type aminoacyl tRNA synthetase mutants. Inherent genes to be knocked out include genes encoding aminoacyl tRNA synthetase having specificity to natural amino acids and tRNA genes capable of binding to the natural amino acids in the presence of the inherent aminoacyl tRNA synthetase.
摘要:
It is intended to provide an extract, kit and a process for synthesizing a protein in a cell-free system. The extract is characterized by being prepared from mutant Escherichia coli cells having a mutation in the ribosomal protein S12 gene. In a preferred embodiment, the mutation is such a mutation as conferring a resistance or dependence to streptomycin on E. coli whereby the reading efficiency of mRNA codon on ribosomes can be improved and thus the protein productivity can be elevated.

Prepared is an extract composition having an improved protein synthetic activity in a cell-free protein synthesis system using a mammalian cultured cell extract. An eukaryotic translation initiation factor and/or translational regulator are added to a cell-free protein synthesis system comprising an extract prepared from cultured mammalian cells and a template mRNA. These factors are one or more selected from the group consisting of eukaryotic translation initiation factors 4E (eIF4E), 2 (eIF2) and 2B (eIF2B), and eukaryotic translational regulator p97.

A polypeptide according to the present invention includes: an altered polypeptide obtained by altering an ArgRS, a CysRS, a MetRS, a GlnRS, a GluRS, a LysRS, a TyrRS, or a TrpRS so that an unnatural amino acid is recognized; and an editing polypeptide derived from a PheRS, a LeuRS, an IleRS, a ValRS, an AlaRS, a ProRS, or a ThrRS, the editing polypeptide having been either inserted between a Rossman-fold N domain and a Rossman-fold C domain that exist in the altered polypeptide, or bound to an N terminal of the altered polypeptide. Thus provided are a new aaRS that exhibits high substrate specificity to an unnatural amino acid and a technique that involves the use of such an aaRS.
