RS/tRNA Additional Notes
In DH10B, the RS is shown to be extremely effective at stringent ncAA concentration. At 0.3mM Anl, NLL appeared to be more than 50% of the clones sampled. Even being the dominate mutant at 0.1mM Anl Concentration. When tested with addtion of Met at varying concentration of 0.01mM, 0.01mM and 0.1mM while in the presence of 1mM Anl, final population showedonly limited sensitivity to Met as deteced through flouresence screening . This was still the case even when Met added at 1.0mM concentration while keeping the concentration of Anl constant of 1mM.
In Y.enterocolitica, when expressing NLL-MetRS constitutively under control of its natural promoter showed the incorporation of Anl in protien detected after being secreted under LCR condition while being tagged with an alkyne-functionalized tetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA) dye and detected by in-gel flouresence labelling.
*Use L274GMm MetRS for Anl Incorporation in mammalian cells*
