Alanine tRNA synthetase

Alanine tRNA synthetase is an enzyme that catalyses the binding of alanine to tRNA. Modelling demonstrated that the expression of spider silk proteins (spidroins), which have a number of repetitive alanine regions, would be increased with the co-expression of alanine tRNA synthetase.

The enzyme was intended for co-expression with MaSps (Major Ampullate Spidroin Proteins) as part of a helper plasmid, containing genes for alanine tRNA and CycA (BBa_K4339000 - an alanine import channel protein) expression. This system was designed to increase alanine uptake and synthesis of alanyl-tRNA to maximise possible rate of alanine incorporation into protein and thus, production of alanine-rich MaSps.

This part was successfully synthesised but was not transformed due to time constraints.
