Construction of BBa_K567014

In order to charge Met to tRNAMet 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.


Characterization of BBa_K567015

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 tRNAMet anticodon while maintained aminoacylation ability.

Cell growth shows that the cells show Kana resistance only when both modified MetRS (metGM) and modified tRNAMet(metY-CGA) are transformed into the cell, proving that metGM works well.
