Machine Learning Enables Prediction of Pyrrolysyl-tRNA Synthetase Substrate Specificity

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2023
Knowledge about the substrate scope for a given enzyme is informative for elucidating biochemical pathways and also for expanding applications of the enzyme. However, no general methods are available to accurately predict the substrate specificity of an enzyme. Pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) is a powerful tool for incorporating various noncanonical

Thermophilic Pyrrolysyl-tRNA Synthetase Mutants for Enhanced Mammalian Genetic Code Expansion

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2020
Genetic code expansion (GCE) is a powerful technique for site-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins in living cells, which is achieved through evolved aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase mutants. Stability is important for promoting enzyme evolution, and we found that many of the evolved synthetase mutants have reduced ...

Specificity of Pyrrolysyl-tRNA Synthetase for Pyrrolysine and Pyrrolysine Analogs

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2009
Pyrrolysine, the 22nd amino acid, is encoded by amber (TAG=UAG) codons in certain methanogenic archaea and bacteria. PylS, the pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase, ligates pyrrolysine to tRNA(Pyl) for amber decoding as pyrrolysine. PylS and tRNA(Pyl) have potential utility in making tailored recombinant proteins.

Recognition of Non-α-amino Substrates by Pyrrolysyl-tRNA Synthetase

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2009
Pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS), an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS) recently found in some methanogenic archaea and bacteria, recognizes an unusually large lysine derivative, L-pyrrolysine, as the substrate, and attaches it to the cognate tRNA (tRNA(Pyl)). The PylRS-tRNA(Pyl) pair interacts with none of the endogenous aaRS-tRNA pairs in Escherichia

Generating Efficient Methanomethylophilus alvus Pyrrolysyl-tRNA Synthetases for Structurally Diverse Non-Canonical Amino Acids

ACS Chemical Biology, 2022
Genetic code expansion (GCE) technologies commonly use the pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS)/tRNAPyl pairs from Methanosarcina mazei (Mm) and Methanosarcina barkeri (Mb) for site-specific incorporation of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins. Recently a homologous PylRS/tRNAPyl pair from Candidatus Methanomethylophilus alvus Mx1201 (Ma) was
