Part:BBa_K567016

metY-CGA

This biobrick is constructed by mutating the anticodon of tRNA(Met) to TCG (base pairing codon CGA). This tRNA can transfer fMet to CGA when it is used as the start codon. KanaR gene with start codon substituted for CGA is used to testify the function of metY-CGA. When this biobrick and metGM(BBa_K567014) or metGN(BBa_K567015) are co-transformed into the cell, the cells can survive on the LB Kana plate.

Construction of BBa_K567016

metY-CGA: We have cloned operon metY containing tRNA^Met from E.coli to pACYC184. The anticodon of tRNA^Met was mutated to TCG (base pairing codon CGA).

Characterization of BBa_K567016

When this part, MetRS PT7-metGN (BBa_K567015)(or MetRS PT7-metGM (BBa_K567014)) and KanaR (BBa_K567020) are co-transformed into the cell, the cell is expected to survive Kana.

Fig. Growth of ER2566 with a. metGN + metY-CGA, b. metGM + metY-CGA, c. + metGN, d. + metGM. Growth medium (left): LB Kana+Tet. Growth medium (right): LB Kana.

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