Nε-Acryloyl-l-lysine, a noncanonical amino acid with an electron deficient olefin, is genetically encoded in Escherichia coli using pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase mutant coordination tRNACUAPyl. The acrylamide moiety stable cells, whereas it active enough to perform diverse set of unique reactions for protein modifications vitro. These include 1,4-addition, radical polymerization, and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. We demonstrate that incorporated Nε-acryloyl-l-lysine efficiently modified...

Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the key Gram-negative pathogens that can cause serious nosocomial infections. In China, a large proportion clinical A. strains are multidrug resistant, among which resistant to carbapenems particularly worrisome, as infections caused by such may limit choice existing antibiotics. We conducted nationwide and genome-based surveillance on prevalence antibiotic susceptibility profile carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) collected from intensive care units (ICUs) in...

Abstract Using amber suppression in coordination with a mutant pyrrolysyl‐tRNA synthetase‐tRNA Pyl pair, azidonorleucine is genetically encoded E. coli . Its genetic incorporation followed by traceless Staudinger ligation phosphinothioester allows the convenient synthesis of protein site‐specifically installed lysine acylation. By simply changing identity, any acylation type could be introduced. this approach, we demonstrated that both acetylation and succinylation can selectively ubiquitin...

The rare AGG codon in Escherichia coli has been reassigned to code non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) by using the PylRS-tRNA(Pyl)(CCU) pair. When N(ε) -alloc-lysine was used as a PylRS substrate, almost quantitative occupancy of at an site achieved minimal medium. ncAAs can be potentially incorporated with varying efficiencies, depending on their activities towards corresponding enzymes. As is sense codon, approach reported here resolves typical low ncAA incorporation issue that associated...
