摘要
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications in nature. However, the site-specific incorporation of O-phosphotyrosine into proteins in vivo has not yet been reported. Endogenous phosphatases present in cells can dephosphorylate phosphotyrosine as a free amino acid or as a protein residue. Therefore, we deleted the genes of five phosphatases from the genome of Escherichia coli with the aim of stabilizing phosphotyrosine. Together with an engineered aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (derived from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase) and an elongation factor Tu variant, we were able to cotranslationally incorporate O-phosphotyrosine into the superfolder green fluorescent protein at a desired position in vivo. This system will facilitate future studies of tyrosine phosphorylation.
