RS/tRNA Additional Notes
In E.coli BL21-DE3 cells, produced GFP-N149-ACPK at ~10mg/L.
By incorporating ACPK handle into HdeA-V58, it was shown that a BTTES-assisted CuAAC can be used in tandem with the ACPK handle for protein click labeling in living bacterial cells.
Incorporated in mammalian Hek-293 cells at p53, ACPKRS successfully produced mutant protein p53EGFP-K372-ACPK, with green fluorescence only being observed by confocal-microscopy when cells were supplemented by 1mM ACPK. Incorporation of ACPK by ACPKRS was measured as 50% of wt at p53 by immunoblotting analysis.
