Abstract
Provided by the present invention is a mutant lysyl-tRNA synthetase that has a deletion mutation at one or more sites selected from the group corresponding to the amino acid sequence of wild-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase: 102nd, 128th-140th, and 159th-179th amino acid residues. Compared with wild-type lysyl-tRNA synthetase, the mutant lysyl-tRNA synthetase according to the present invention has high activity, a high level of expression and good solubility, and may significantly increase the amount of an inserted unnatural amino acid and the level of expression of a target protein containing an unnatural amino acid.
Claims3
A mutant protein of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which comprises:
- (1) a deletion mutation of amino acid residue at position 102, positions 128-140, and positions 159-179 in an amino acid sequence corresponding to a wild-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase;
- or
- (2) a deletion mutation of amino acid residues at position 102, positions 128-140, and positions 159-179 in an amino acid sequence corresponding to a wild-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase by replacing positions 1-184 of the wild-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase with another segment of amino acids at positions 1-149 of SEQ ID NO:
- 4;
- and an amino acid mutation of Y384F corresponding to a wild-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase;
- or
- (3) on the basis of (2), further mutations of H29Y, D76G, S89G, N91T, R96K, S121P, N129D, S145P and A148T, as related to SEQ ID NO:
- 4;
- or
- (4) on the basis of (2), further mutations of L274A, C313S, and F349Y, as related to SEQ ID NO:
- 4;
- Wherein the amino acid sequence of the wild-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or 2;
- and
- except for the deletion and the mutation, the other amino acids of the mutant protein are the same as the sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 1 or SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
