PT7-metGM
T7 promoter-metG(mutated). This biobrick is constructed by putting the mutated metG (Met-RS) under the control of T7 promoter and lac operator. We have cloned metG from E.coli and have used error-prone PCR to amplify the metG. KanR gene with start codon substituted for CGA is used to testify the function of mutated metG. When this biobrick and metY-CGA (BBa_K567016) are co-transformed into the cell, the cells can survive on the LB Kanamycin plate.
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 KanR (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 Kanamycin and obtained one target mutant.
Characterization of BBa_K567015
When this part, metY-CGA (BBa_K567016) and KanR (BBa_K567020) are co-transformed into the cell, the cell is expected to survive Kanamycin. This enzyme lost specificity for tRNAMet anticodon while maintained aminoacylation ability.
Cell growth shows that the cells show Kanamycin resistance only when both modified MetRS (metGM) and modified tRNAMet(metY-CGA) are transformed into the cell, proving that metGM works well.
