− |
| |
− | In order to charge Met to tRNA<sup>Met</sup> with mutated anticodon, we need to deprive MetRS of its anticodon specificity. Directed Evolution Strategy is used. Error-prone PCR is used to introduce random mutations into MetRS.When this part, ''metY''-CGA (BBa_K567016) and KanaR (BBa_K567020) are co-transformed into the cell, the cell is expected to survive Kana. We screened the MetRS obtained through error-prone PCR using Kana and obtained one target mutant.

| |
− | When this part, ''metY''-CGA (BBa_K567016) and KanaR (BBa_K567020) are co-transformed into the cell, the cell is expected to survive Kana. This enzyme lost specificity for tRNA<sup>Met</sup> anticodon while maintained aminoacylation ability.

| |
− | Cell growth shows that the cells show Kana resistance only when both modified MetRS (''metG''M) and modified tRNA<sup>Met</sup>(''metY''-CGA) are transformed into the cell, proving that ''metG''M works well.
