Abstract:
Provided is a method for high-efficiently reading through a nonsense mutation site in a pathogenic gene in a monogenic hereditary disease and restoring the normal structure and function of a mutant protein, by using a genetic code expanded non-natural amino acid system. By modifying a tRNA of Methanosarcina barkeri (tRNAPyl), an all-new UAA and UGA encoded non-natural amino acid system that has high read-through efficiency is obtained, and the range of using the orthogonal pair of tRNAPyl and pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) is expanded. A plasmid mimicking the endogenous premature termination codon is constructed, so as to evaluate the efficiency of reading through the endogenous premature termination codon. Also provided is a system mainly comprising pathogenic genes of monogenic hereditary diseases and tumor inhibitory genes in tumor cells.
