The Incorporation of a Photoisomerizable Amino Acid into Proteins in E. c oli
Abstract
An orthogonal aminoacyl tRNA synthetase/tRNA pair has been evolved that allows the incorporation of the photoisomerizable amino acid phenylalanine-4'-azobenzene (AzoPhe) into proteins in E. coli in response to the amber nonsense codon. Further, we show that AzoPhe can be used to photoregulate the binding affinity of catabolite activator protein to its promoter. The ability to selectively incorporate AzoPhe into proteins at defined sites should make it possible to regulate a variety of biological processes with light, including enzyme, receptor, and ion channel activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
