The evolutional development of the RNA translation process that leads to protein synthesis based on naturally occurring amino acids has its continuation via synthetic biology, the so-called rational bioengineering. Genetic code expansion (GCE) explores beyond the natural translational processes to further enhance the structural properties and augment the functionality of a wide range of proteins. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomal machinery have been proven to accept engineered tRNAs from orthogonal organisms to efficiently incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) with rationally designed side chains. These side chains can be reactive or functional groups, which can be extensively utilized in biochemical, biophysical, and cellular studies. Genetic code extension offers the contingency of introducing more than one ncAA into protein through frameshift suppression, multi-site-specific incorporation of ncAAs, thereby increasing the vast number of possible applications. However, different mediating factors reduce the yield and efficiency of ncAA incorporation into synthetic proteins. In this review, we comment on the recent advancements in genetic code expansion to signify the relevance of systems biology in improving ncAA incorporation efficiency. We discuss the emerging impact of tRNA modifications and metabolism in protein design. We also provide examples of the latest successful accomplishments in synthetic protein therapeutics and show how codon expansion has been employed in various scientific and biotechnological applications. 相似文献

The continuous threat of drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae justifies identifying novel targets and developing effective antibacterial agents. A potential target is nicotinate nucleotide adenylyltransferase (NNAT), an indispensable enzyme in the biosynthesis of the cell-dependent metabolite, NAD+. NNAT catalyses the adenylation of nicotinamide/nicotinate mononucleotide (NMN/NaMN), using ATP to form nicotinamide/nicotinate adenine dinucleotide (NAD+/NaAD). In addition, it employs divalent cations for co-substrate binding and catalysis and has a preference for different divalent cations. Here, the biophysical structure of NNAT from K. pneumoniae (KpNNAT) and the impact of divalent cations on its activity, conformational stability and substrate-binding are described using experimental and computational approaches. The experimental study was executed using an enzyme-coupled assay, far-UV circular dichroism, extrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy, and thermal shift assays, alongside homology modelling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulation. The structure of KpNNAT revealed a predominately α-helical secondary structure content and a binding site that is partially hydrophobic. Its substrates ATP and NMN share the same binding pocket with similar affinity and exhibit an energetically favourable binding. KpNNAT showed maximum activity and minimal conformational changes with Mg2+ as a cofactor compared to Zn2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+. Overall, ATP binding affects KpNNAT dynamics, and the dynamics of ATP binding depend on the presence and type of divalent cation. The data obtained from this study would serve as a basis for further evaluation towards designing structure-based inhibitors with therapeutic potential. 相似文献
