Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods to generate novel acyl-tRNA species deploy an orthogonal synthetase that accepts α-hydroxy acids, α-thio acids, N-formyl-L-α-amino acids, and/or α-carboxyl acid monomers (malonic acids) that are formally precursors to polyketide natural products.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method to generate novel acyl-tRNA species, comprising reacting an orthogonal synthetase with a tRNA and a non-L-α-amino acid selected from α-hydroxy acids, α-thio acids, N-formyl-L-α-amino acids and α-carboxyl acid monomers (malonic acids) that are formally precursors to polyketide natural products, to generate the novel acyl-tRNA species. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the orthogonal synthetase accepts α-hydroxy acids, α-thio acids, N-formyl-L-α-amino acids, and α-carboxyl acid monomers (malonic acids) that are formally precursors to polyketide natural products. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the orthogonal synthetase is a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS). 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the orthogonal synthetase is a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS), and the PylRS is a Methanomethylophilus alvus PylRS (MaPylRS) or a MaPylRS substitution variant. 5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the orthogonal synthetase is a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS), and the PylRS is a Methanomethylophilus alvus PylRS (MaPylRS) substitution variant comprising substitutions at N166 and V168. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the orthogonal synthetase is a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS), and the PylRS is a Methanomethylophilus alvus PylRS (MaPylRS) substitution variant comprising MaFRS1 (N166A, V168L), MaFRS2 (N166A, V168K), or MaFRSA (N166A, V168A). 7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the acyl-tRNA species in a translation system, wherein the non-L-α-amino acid is incorporated into a protein. 8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the acyl-tRNA species in a translation system, wherein the non-L-α-amino acid is incorporated into a sequence-defined non-protein hetero-polymer. 9 . A composition or kit comprising an isolated orthogonal synthetase that accepts α-hydroxy acids, α-thio acids, N-formyl-L-α-amino acids or α-carboxyl acid monomers (malonic acids) that are formally precursors to polyketide natural products. 10 . The composition or kit of claim 9 , wherein the orthogonal synthetase accepts α-hydroxy acids, α-thio acids, N-formyl-L-α-amino acids, and α-carboxyl acid monomers (malonic acids) that are formally precursors to polyketide natural products. 11 . The composition or kit of claim 10 , wherein the orthogonal synthetase is a pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS). 12 . The composition or kit of claim 11 , wherein the PylRS is a Methanomethylophilus alvus PylRS (MaPylRS) or a MaPylRS variant. 13 . The composition or kit of claim 12 , wherein the PylRS is MaPylRS variant comprising substitutions at N166 and V168. 14 . The composition or kit of claim 13 , wherein the PylRS is MaPylRS variant MaFRS1 (N166A, V168L), MaFRS2 (N166A, V168K), or MaFRSA (N166A, V168A).
