AbstractIn bacteria, ribosome kinetics are considered rate-limiting for protein synthesis and cell growth. Enhanced ribosome kinetics may augment bacterial growth and biomanufacturing through improvements to overall protein yield, but whether this can be achieved by ribosome-specific modifications remains unknown. Here, we evolve 16S ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio cholerae towards enhanced protein synthesis rates. We find that rRNA sequence origin significantly impacted evolutionary trajectory and generated rRNA mutants with augmented protein synthesis rates in both natural and engineered contexts, including the incorporation of noncanonical amino acids. Moreover, discovered consensus mutations can be ported onto phylogenetically divergent rRNAs, imparting improved translational activities. Finally, we show that increased translation rates in vivo coincide with only moderately reduced translational fidelity, but do not enhance bacterial population growth. Together, these findings provide a versatile platform for development of unnatural ribosomal functions in vivo.

Incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins has been proven to be a powerful tool to manipulate protein structure and function, and to investigate many biological processes. Improving the yields of ncAA-containing proteins is of great significance in industrial-scale applications. Escherichia coli C321.ΔA was generated by the replacement of all known amber codons and the deletion of RF1 in the genome and has been proven to be an ideal host for ncAA-containing protein expression using genetic code expansion. In this study, we investigated the transcriptome and proteome profiles of this first codon reassignment strain and found that some functions and metabolic pathways were differentially expressed when compared with those of its parent strain. Genes involved in carbohydrate and energy metabolism were remarkably downregulated. Our results may provide important clues about the growth defects in E. coli C321.ΔA. Furthermore, we improved the yields of ncAA-containing proteins in E. coli C321.ΔA by integrating the T7 RNA polymerase system.

Genetic incorporation of noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) has become a powerful tool to enhance existing functions or introduce new ones into proteins through expanded chemistry. This technology relies on the process of nonsense suppression, which is made possible by directing aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) to attach an ncAA onto a cognate suppressor tRNA. However, different mechanisms govern aaRS specificity toward its natural amino acid (AA) substrate and hinder the engineering of aaRSs for applications beyond the incorporation of a single l-α-AA. Directed evolution of aaRSs therefore faces two interlinked challenges: the removal of the affinity for cognate AA and improvement of ncAA acylation. Here we review aspects of AA recognition that directly influence the feasibility and success of aaRS engineering toward d- and β-AAs incorporation into proteins in vivo. Emerging directed evolution methods are described and evaluated on the basis of aaRS active site plasticity and its inherent constraints.
