Ferritin Conjugates With Multiple Clickable Amino Acids Encoded by C-Terminal Engineered Pyrrolysyl-tRNA Synthetase
This study reports the application of expanding genetic codes in developing protein cage-based delivery systems. The evolved Methanosarcina mazei pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS)•tRNAPyl pairs derived from directed evolution are examined to probe their recognition for para-substituted phenylalanin...

This study reports the application of expanding genetic codes in developing protein cage-based delivery systems. The evolved Methanosarcina mazei pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS)•tRNAPyl pairs derived from directed evolution are examined to probe their recognition for para-substituted phenylalanine analogs. The evolved MmPylRS, AzFRS, harboring a wide range of substrates, is further engineered at the C-terminal region into another variant, AzFRS-MS. AzFRS-MS shows suppression of the elevated sfGFP protein amount up to 10 TAG stop codons when charging p-azido-l-phenylalanine (AzF, 4), which allows the occurrence of click chemistry. Since protein nanocages used as drug delivery systems that encompass multiple drugs through a site-specific loading approach remain largely unexplored, as a proof of concept, the application of AzFRS-MS for the site-specific incorporation of AzF on human heavy chain ferritin (Ftn) is developed. The Ftn-4 conjugate is shown to be able to load multiple fluorescence dyes or a therapeutic agent, doxorubicin (Dox), through the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) click reaction.
