Application

Alanine conjugated to the fluorophore 5-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonyl (dansyl). The unnatural amino acid has been incorporated into expressed proteins by use of a mutated aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase specific for dansylalanine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dansyl-L-alanine contains an N-terminal fluorophore (dansyl) making it useful as a fluorescent marker/probe. Dansylalanine can be incorporated into proteins by newly developing techniques that expand the genetic code.

Here, we report that the fluorescent amino acid, 3-(6-acetylnaphthalen-2-ylamino)-2-aminopropanoic acid (Anap), can be genetically incorporated into proteins in yeast with excellent selectivity and efficiency by means of an orthogonal tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair. This small, environmentally sensitive fluorophore was site-specifically incorporated

The ability to introduce fluorophores selectively into proteins provides a powerful tool to study protein structure, dynamics, localization, and biomolecular interactions both in vitro and in vivo. Here, we report a strategy for the selective and efficient biosynthetic incorporation of
