Abstract In order to increase the efficiency of different mRNAs from wheat seedlings in carrying out cell-free protein synthesis in the wheat system, efforts were made to remove endogenous mRNA. In this direction, we checked the possibility of using immobilized RNAase. Treatment of the cellfree system or its components with this enzyme caused a large decrease in the efficiency of poly Udirected incorporation of labeled amino acids. This effect did not coincide with an equivalent degradation of RNA, as has been shown by analysis of ribosomes and polysomes. The results are discussed in the light of recent findings of some authors

Cell-free protein synthesis is useful for synthesizing difficult targets. The site-specific incorporation of non-natural amino acids into proteins is a powerful protein engineering method. In this study, we optimized the protocol for cell extract preparation from the Escherichia coli strain RFzero-iy, which is engineered to lack release factor 1 (RF-1). The BL21(DE3)-based RFzero-iy strain exhibited quite high cell-free protein productivity, and thus we established the protocols for its cell culture and extract preparation. In the presence of 3-iodo-l-tyrosine (IY), cell-free protein synthesis using the RFzero-iy-based S30 extract translated the UAG codon to IY at various sites with a high translation efficiency of >90%. In the absence of IY, the RFzero-iy-based cell-free system did not translate UAG to any amino acid, leaving UAG unassigned. Actually, UAG was readily reassigned to various non-natural amino acids, by supplementing them with their specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase variants (and their specific tRNAs) into the system. The high incorporation rate of our RFzero-iy-based cell-free system enables the incorporation of a variety of non-natural amino acids into multiple sites of proteins. The present strategy to create the RFzero strain is rapid, and thus promising for RF-1 deletions of various E. coli strains genomically engineered for specific requirements.
