More than two decades ago a general method to genetically encode noncanonical or unnatural amino acids (NAAs) with diverse physical, chemical, or biological properties in bacteria, yeast, animals and mammalian cells was developed. More than 200 NAAs have been incorporated into recombinant proteins by means of non-endogenous aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aa-RS)/tRNA pair, an orthogonal pair, that directs site-specific incorporation of NAA encoded by a unique codon. The most established method to genetically encode NAAs in Escherichia coli is based on the usage of the desired mutant of Methanocaldococcus janaschii tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (MjTyrRS) and cognate suppressor tRNA. The amber codon, the least-used stop codon in E. coli, assigns NAA. Until very recently the genetic code expansion technology suffered from a low yield of targeted proteins due to both incompatibilities of orthogonal pair with host cell translational machinery and the competition of suppressor tRNA with release factor (RF) for binding to nonsense codons. Here we describe the latest progress made to enhance nonsense suppression in E. coli with the emphasis on the improved expression vectors encoding for an orthogonal aa-RA/tRNA pair, enhancement of aa-RS and suppressor tRNA efficiency, the evolution of orthogonal EF-Tu and attempts to reduce the effect of RF1.

ABSTRACTSynthetic biologists construct complex biological circuits by combinations of various genetic parts. Many genetic parts that are orthogonal to one another and are independent of existing cellular processes would be ideal for use in synthetic biology. However, our toolbox is still limited with respect to the bacteriumEscherichia coli, which is important for both research and industrial use. The site-specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids is a technique that incorporates unnatural amino acids into proteins using a modified exogenous aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pair that is orthogonal to any native pairs in a host and is independent from other cellular functions. Focusing on the orthogonality and independency that are suitable for the genetic parts, we designed novel AND gate and translational switches using the unnatural amino acid 3-iodo-l-tyrosine incorporation system inE. coli. A translational switch was turned on after addition of 3-iodo-l-tyrosine in the culture medium within minutes and allowed tuning of switchability and translational efficiency. As an application, we also constructed a gene expression system that produced large amounts of proteins under induction conditions and exhibited zero-leakage expression under repression conditions. Similar translational switches are expected to be applicable also for eukaryotes such as yeasts, nematodes, insects, mammalian cells, and plants.
