Abstract excerpt
Methanosarcina barkeri inserts pyrrolysine (Pyl) at an in-frame UAG codon in its monomethylamine methyltransferase gene. Pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase acylates Pyl onto tRNAPyl, the amber suppressor pyrrolysine Pyl tRNA. Here we show that M. barkeri Fusaro tRNAPyl can be misacylated with serine by the M. barkeri bacterial-type seryl-tRNA synthetase in vitro and in vivo in Escherichia coli. Compared to the M. barkeri...
