The universal genetic code links the 20 naturally occurring amino acids to the 61 sense codons. Previously, the UAG amber stop codon (a nonsense codon) has been used as a blank in the code to insert natural and unnatural amino acids via nonsense suppression. We have developed a selection methodology to investigate whether the unnatural amino acid biocytin could be incorporated into an mRNA display library at sense codons. In these experiments we probed a single randomized NNN codon with a library of 16 orthogonal, biocytin-acylated tRNAs. In vitro selection for efficient incorporation of the unnatural amino acid resulted in templates containing the GUA codon at the randomized position. This sense suppression occurs via Watson-Crick pairing with similar efficiency to UAG-mediated nonsense suppression. These experiments suggest that sense codon suppression is a viable means to expand the chemical and functional diversity of the genetic code.
