Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli-derived tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase was the first enzyme engineered for genetic code expansion in a eukaryotic system but can charge only a limited set of structurally simple noncanonical amino acids. In contrast, the thermophilic Methanocaldococcus jannaschii-derived tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase mutants, used in only a prokaryotic system, can charge a surprisingly large set of structurally diverse...
