O-Methyl-L-tyrosine tRNA synthetase

This part encodes for the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) for the non-natural amino-acid O‑methyl‑l‑tyrosine.

Figure 1:Dimer of the Methanocaldococcus jannaschii tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase specific for O-methyl-l-tyrosine.


Usage

The aaRS is used in combination with the supressor tRNA (for example BBa_K1976023). Together they form a so called orthogonal pair used for non-natural amino acid incorporation at position of the amber stop codon. In this case the non-natural amino acid is O‑methyl‑l‑tyrosine.

Characteristica

Figure 2: SDS-PAGE of E. coli TOP10 culture lysate after 6 hours of constitutive expression of OMT-RS. Left: Cell lysate from E. coli TOP10 not transformed with any plasmid. Right: Cell lysate from E. coli TOP10 transformed with the constitutive OMT generator BBa_K1976022. The OMT-RS holds a molar mass of ~35 kDa.
