Single amino acid changes in AspRS reveal alternative routes for expanding its tRNA repertoire in vivo.

Nucleic acids research - 1 Jan 2004

Martin Franck, Barends Sharief, Eriani Gilbert

Abstract excerpt

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are enzymes that are highly specific for their tRNA substrates. Here, we describe the expansion of a class IIb aaRS-tRNA specificity by a genetic selection that involves the use of a modified tRNA displaying an amber anticodon and the argE(amber) and lacZ(amber) reporters. The study was performed on Escherichia coli aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS) and amber tRNA(Asp). Nine...
