The genetic code of organisms can be expanded by introducing orthogonal translation systems (OTSs). One of the most commonly applied OTSs in mammalian cells is the archaeal pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA_Pyl_CUA (PylRS/PylT) pair from Methanosarcina species. Thereby, usually in-frame amber stop codons (UAG) are suppressed to site-specifically incorporate non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) into target proteins. These ncAAs can harbor unique chemical moieties, allowing to probe or engineer protein structure and function with high precision. To date, applicability of an expanded genetic code has been particularly advanced in bacteria by optimizing OTS components, modifying host translation, and developing mutually orthogonal translation system...
