RS/tRNA Additional Notes
In DH10B cells, with 2 mM sulfoTyr, gave high fidelity incorporation into Z-domain(7), noting that some (<10%) of the sulfo-group was lost during MS analysis. And with 10 mM sulfoTyr, yielded hirudin(63) at 5mg/L compared to WT yield of 12 mg/L. In the pULTRA plasmid yielded ~75% efficient expression of GFP with one TAG site and ~25% efficient expression of GFP with three TAG sites, and high fidelity using the RF1- C321.ΔA cell line.
