CHEMICAL COMMUNICATIONS, 50(86), 13085–13088.

By: Y. Lee *, Y. Kurra*, Y. Yang*, J. Torres-Kolbus n, A. Deiters n & W. Liu *

MeSH headings : Alkenes / chemistry; Amino Acids / metabolism; Amino Acyl-tRNA Synthetases / genetics; Amino Acyl-tRNA Synthetases / metabolism; Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins / chemistry; Bacterial Outer Membrane Proteins / metabolism; Cycloaddition Reaction; Escherichia coli / metabolism; Escherichia coli Proteins / chemistry; Escherichia coli Proteins / metabolism; Fluorescein / chemistry; Fluorescent Dyes / chemistry; Green Fluorescent Proteins / chemistry; Heterocyclic Compounds, 1-Ring / chemistry; Hydrolases / chemistry; Hydrolases / metabolism; Mutation; RNA, Transfer / metabolism
TL;DR: A number of non-canonical amino acids (NCAAs) with unstrained olefins are genetically encoded using mutant pyrrolysyl-t RNA synthetase-tRNA(Pyl)(CUA) pairs, leading to selective labeling of proteins bearing these NCAAs in live cells. (via Semantic Scholar)

Two Rapid Catalyst-Free Click Reactions for In Vivo Protein Labeling of Genetically Encoded Strained Alkene/Alkyne Functionalities

BIOCONJUGATE CHEMISTRY, 25(9), 1730–1738.

By: Y. Kurra*, K. Odoi*, Y. Lee *, Y. Yang*, T. Lu*, S. Wheeler *, J. Torres-Kolbus n, A. Deiters n, W. Liu *

MeSH headings : Alkenes / chemistry; Alkynes / chemistry; Catalysis; Click Chemistry; Cyclooctanes / chemistry; Escherichia coli Proteins / chemistry; Kinetics; Models, Molecular; Protein Conformation; Proteins / chemistry; Staining and Labeling / methods; Tyrosine / chemistry
TL;DR: To apply these “click” reactions for site-specific protein labeling, five tyrosine derivatives that contain a norbornene, trans-cyclooctene, or cyclooctyne entity were genetically encoded into proteins in Escherichia coli using an engineered pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase-tRNACUAPyl pair.
