Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to a translation system having a modified genetic code table, and to a method of using the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Display libraries are an extremely useful technique for efficiently obtaining molecules that bind to target proteins using evolutionary engineering methods. To obtain molecules that exhibit high binding affinity to any target molecule, or to obtain multiple molecules that bind to various epitopes, panning from a highly diverse library is necessary. To construct a highly diverse library, one could consider increasing the number or types of building blocks. However, if molecular weight is limited from a membrane permeability standpoint, the number of building blocks is also limited. Therefore, increasing the types of building blocks is a crucial method for enhancing library diversity.
[0003] Reconstituted cell-free translation systems like PURESYSTEM (Non-Patent Literature 1) allow for adjustment of the concentrations of components such as amino acids, tRNA, and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS), thereby altering the natural codon-amino acid mapping. Using such translation systems, it is possible to construct display libraries with more than 20 different building blocks. However, in the E. coli translation system using three-base codons, the existence of the wobble rule means that, in principle, 32 types of building blocks are considered the upper limit. More specifically, there is "play" in the pairing of the third letter of a codon and the first letter of an anticodon, allowing for pairings between G and U, known as wobble base pairs, in addition to Watson-Crick base pairs. Therefore, the anticodon GNN decodes the NNU and NNC codons, and the anticodon UNN decodes the NNA and NNG codons. As a result, these codons cannot be distinguished, and the number of amino acids that can be introduced into a single codon box is limited to a maximum of two (Non-Patent Literature 2).
[0004] To date, there have been reports (Non-Patent Documents 3, 4, and 1) of assigning different amino acids to the NNA and NNG codons in specific codon boxes. However, there are no reports of successfully expanding the number of building blocks by assigning yet another amino acid to the same codon box, thereby simultaneously and accurately distinguishing a total of three amino acids. Furthermore, the previously reported methods are considered to have low versatility in terms of the amino acids that can be selected. In addition, it has been mathematically shown that when aminoacyl-tRNA prepared outside the system is used for translation, a higher concentration of aminoacyl-tRNA is required than that of aminoacylated tRNA prepared by ARS in the system, and in that case, distinguishing between NNA and NNG codons becomes difficult (Non-Patent Document 5).
[0005] In this technological field, the quality of a display library is determined by the ability to map various amino acids to a codon table and to accurately read and translate each codon. It is extremely important that the amino acids assigned to each codon are specifically translated from that codon. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0008] While various attempts have been made to expand codons, there are no reports that clearly demonstrate that assigning different amino acids to NNA and NNG codons allows for accurate differentiation. Furthermore, there are no reports that clearly demonstrate that assigning three amino acids within the same codon box allows for accurate differentiation. This invention was made in view of this situation, and one of its objectives is to provide a new means that enables the differentiation of codons. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] In this study, the inventors succeeded in distinguishing between NNA and NNG codons in a specific codon box, a task that was difficult due to the presence of wobble base pairs. Furthermore, they assigned different amino acids to the NNU or NNC codons in the same codon box. When sequences containing these three codons were actually translated and their ability to distinguish between them was evaluated, it was numerically confirmed that only the amino acids corresponding to the target codons were specifically translated, demonstrating successful and accurate differentiation.

[0014] I. Definition For the purpose of interpreting this Spec., the following definitions apply, and wherever applicable, a term used in the singular also includes the plural, and vice versa. It should be understood that the terms used herein are intended solely to describe a particular aspect and not to limit it. In the event of any conflict between the following definitions and any document incorporated herein by reference, the following definitions shall prevail.
[0015] A "codon" is a combination of three nucleosides (triplets) corresponding to each amino acid when genetic information in a living organism is translated into protein. In the case of DNA, four types of bases are used: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). In the case of mRNA, four types of bases are used: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U). A table showing the correspondence between each codon and an amino acid is called the genetic code table or codon table, and 20 types of amino acids are assigned to 61 types of codons, excluding the stop codon (Table 1). The genetic code table listed in Table 1 is used in common by almost all organisms in eukaryotes and prokaryotes (eubacteria and archaea), and is therefore also called the standard genetic code table or universal genetic code table. In this disclosure, the genetic code table used in naturally occurring organisms is referred to as the natural genetic code table, and is distinguished from genetic code tables that have been artificially reprogrammed (in which the correspondence between codons and amino acids has been altered). In the genetic code table, four codons, where the first and second characters are common and only the third character differs, are typically grouped together in a single box; these are called codon boxes.
[0016] [Table 1]
[0017] In this disclosure, codons in mRNA may be represented as "M1M2M3," where M1, M2, and M3 represent the first, second, and third nucleosides of the codon, respectively.
[0018] An "anticodon" is a sequence of three consecutive nucleosides on tRNA that corresponds to a codon on mRNA. Similar to mRNA, anticodons can use four types of bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U). Modified bases obtained by modifying these bases may also be used. The specific recognition of a codon by an anticodon allows the genetic information on mRNA to be read and translated into protein. The codon sequence on mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction and the anticodon sequence on tRNA in the 5' to 3' direction bind complementaryly, so complementary base pairs are formed between the nucleosides of the first, second, and third letters of the codon and the nucleosides of the third, second, and first letters of the anticodon, respectively.
[0019] In this disclosure, the anticodon in tRNA may be represented as "N1N2N3". Here, N1, N2, and N3 represent the first, second, and third nucleosides of the anticodon, respectively. According to the tRNA numbering rules described below, N1, N2, and N3 are numbered at positions 34, 35, and 36 of the tRNA, respectively.
[0020] In this disclosure, combinations of nucleic acids that can form thermodynamically stable base pairs are referred to as "complementary." In addition to Watson-Crick base pairs such as adenosine and uridine (AU) and guanosine and cytidine (GC), combinations of nucleic acids that form non-Watson-Crick base pairs such as guanosine and uridine (GU), inosine and uridine (IU), inosine and adenosine (IA), and inosine and cytidine (IC) are also included in the "complementary" nucleic acid combinations in this disclosure. In particular, while only Watson-Crick base pair formation is permitted between the first letter of a codon and the third letter of an anticodon, and between the second letter of a codon and the second letter of an anticodon, it is thought that the formation of non-Watson-Crick base pairs as described above is also permitted between the third letter of a codon and the first letter of an anticodon because of spatial fluctuations (wobble).
[0021] Messenger RNA (mRNA) is RNA that carries genetic information that can be translated into proteins. Genetic information is encoded on mRNA as codons, each corresponding to one of the 20 amino acids. Protein translation begins with a start codon and ends with a stop codon. In eukaryotes, the start codon is generally AUG, but in prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), GUG and UUG may also be used as start codons in addition to AUG. AUG is a codon that codes for methionine (Met), and in eukaryotes and archaea, translation begins directly with methionine. On the other hand, in bacteria, only the start codon AUG corresponds to N-formylmethionine (fMet), so translation begins with formylmethionine. There are three types of stop codons: UAA (ochre), UAG (amber), and UGA (opal). When a stop codon is recognized by a protein called a translation termination factor (RF), the peptide chain synthesized up to that point dissociates from tRNA, and the translation process ends.
[0022] Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a short RNA molecule of less than 100 nucleotides that mediates peptide synthesis using mRNA as a template. In terms of secondary structure, it has a cloverleaf-like structure consisting of three stem-loops (D-arm, anticodon arm, and T-arm) and one stem (acceptor stem). Some tRNAs may also contain an additional variable loop. The anticodon arm contains a region consisting of three consecutive nucleosides called an anticodon, and codons are recognized when the anticodon forms a base pair with a codon on the mRNA. Meanwhile, the 3' end of tRNA contains a nucleic acid sequence (CCA sequence) consisting of cytidine-cytidine-adenosine, and an amino acid is added to the adenosine residue at the end of this sequence (specifically, the hydroxyl group at position 2 or 3 of the ribose of the adenosine residue forms an ester bond with the carboxyl group of the amino acid). tRNA with an added amino acid is called aminoacyl-tRNA. In this disclosure, aminoacyl-tRNA is included in the definition of tRNA. Furthermore, as described later, a method is known in which the two terminal residues (C and A) are removed from the CCA sequence of tRNA and used for the synthesis of aminoacyl-tRNA. Such tRNA from which the 3' terminal CA sequence has been removed is also included in the definition of tRNA in this disclosure. In living organisms, the addition of amino acids to tRNA is carried out by an enzyme called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS or ARS). Normally, there is one type of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase for each amino acid, and each aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase specifically recognizes only a particular tRNA as a substrate from among multiple tRNAs, so the correspondence between tRNA and amino acids is strictly controlled.
[0023] Each nucleoside in tRNA is numbered according to the tRNA numbering rules (Sprinzl et al., Nucleic Acids Res (1998) 26: 148-153). For example, the anticodon is numbered from position 34 to 36, and the CCA sequence is numbered from position 74 to 76.
[0024] An "initiator tRNA" is a specific tRNA used at the start of mRNA translation. An initiator tRNA, bound to the initiating amino acid, is catalyzed by an initiation factor (IF) and introduced into a ribosome. Translation begins when it binds to the start codon on the mRNA. Generally, the methionine codon AUG is used as the start codon; therefore, the initiator tRNA has the anticodon corresponding to AUG and also binds methionine (or formylmethionine in prokaryotes) as the initiating amino acid.
[0025] "Elongator tRNA" refers to the tRNA used in the peptide chain elongation reaction during the translation process. In peptide synthesis, elongator tRNA, to which amino acids are bound, is sequentially transported to ribosomes by the GTP-modified translation elongation factor (EF) EF-Tu / eEF-1, thereby promoting the peptide chain elongation reaction.
[0026] In this disclosure, “tRNA body” refers to the main structural portion of tRNA (the nucleic acid-based portion) excluding the anticodon (positions 34–36). In some embodiments, the tRNA body in this disclosure refers to positions 1–33 and 37–76 of tRNA. In another embodiment, the tRNA body in this disclosure refers to positions 1–33 and 37–74 of tRNA.
[0027] Lysidine is a type of modified nucleoside, also known as 2-lysylcytidine (k2C or L). Lysidine is used as the first nucleoside of the anticodon in the isoleucine-corresponding tRNA (tRNA Ile2) in bacteria. tRNA Ile2 is synthesized as a precursor with a CAU anticodon, and then the first cytidine (C) of the anticodon is modified (converted) to lysidine (k2C) by the action of an enzyme called tRNA Ile-lysidine synthetase (TilS). As a result, tRNA Ile2 with the k2CAU anticodon is completed (Muramatsu et al., J Biol Chem (1988) 263: 9261-9267, Suzuki et al., FEBS Lett (2010) 584: 272-277). The k2CAU anticodon is known to specifically recognize only the isoleucine codon AUA. Furthermore, it is thought that only after the anticodon is modified to k2CAU can isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase recognize tRNA Ile2 as a substrate, leading to aminoacylation (addition of isoleucine) of tRNA Ile2.
[0028] Agmatidine is a type of modified nucleoside, also known as 2-agmatinylcytidine (agm2C or Agm). Agmatidine is used as the first nucleoside of the anticodon in tRNA (tRNA Ile2), which corresponds to isoleucine in archaea. tRNA Ile2 is synthesized as a precursor with the anticodon CAU, and then, by the action of an enzyme called tRNA Ile-agmatidine synthetase (TiaS), the first cytidine (C) of the anticodon is modified (converted) to agmatidine (agm2C). As a result, tRNA Ile2 with the anticodon agm2CAU is completed (Ikeuchi et al., Nat Chem Biol (2010) 6(4): 277-282). The anticodon agm2CAU is known to specifically recognize only the isoleucine codon AUA. Furthermore, it is thought that only when the anticodon is modified to agm2CAU can isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase recognize tRNA Ile2 as a substrate, leading to aminoacylation (addition of isoleucine) of tRNA Ile2.
[0029] In this disclosure, "cross-read" refers to the phenomenon in which an aminoacyl-tRNA recognizes codons other than the one it is intended to recognize, resulting in the translation of extra amino acids other than the intended ones. The extent to which extra amino acids are translated is not particularly limited, but it usually refers to a level that is judged to be insufficient in terms of translational orthogonality.

[0035] In this disclosure, “heteroaryl” means a monovalent group of an aromatic ring containing heteroatoms among the ring-forming atoms, and which may be partially saturated. The ring may be a monocyclic ring or a fused ring of two rings (e.g., a bicyclic heteroaryl fused with benzene or a monocyclic heteroaryl). The number of atoms forming the ring is, for example, 5–10 (5-membered–10-membered heteroaryl). The number of heteroatoms contained among the ring-forming atoms is, for example, 1–5.

[0041] In this disclosure, "translation system" is defined as a concept encompassing both methods for translating peptides and compositions and kits for translating peptides. Translation systems typically include ribosomes, translation factors, tRNA, amino acids, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS), and factors necessary for peptide translation reactions, such as ATP and GTP. The main types of translation systems include those using living cells and those using cell extracts (cell-free translation systems). Examples of living cell translation systems include systems that introduce desired aminoacyl-tRNA and mRNA into living cells, such as African clawed frog oocytes or mammalian cells, using microinjection or lipofection methods to perform peptide translation (Nowak et al., Science (1995) 268: 439-442). Examples of cell-free translation systems include translation systems utilizing extracts from Escherichia coli (Chen et al., Methods Enzymol (1983) 101: 674-690), yeast (Gasior et al., J Biol Chem (1979) 254: 3965-3969), wheat germ (Erickson et al., Methods Enzymol (1983) 96: 38-50), rabbit reticulocytes (Jackson et al., Methods Enzymol (1983) 96: 50-74), HeLa cells (Barton et al., Methods Enzymol (1996) 275: 35-57), or insect cells (Swerdel et al., Comp Biochem Physiol B (1989) 93: 803-806). Such translation systems can be prepared as appropriate by methods known to those skilled in the art or by similar methods. Cell-free translation systems also include translation systems constructed by isolating and purifying the factors necessary for peptide translation and then reconstituting them (reconstituted cell-free translation systems) (Shimizu et al., Nat Biotech (2001) 19: 751-755).Reconstituted cell-free translation systems typically include ribosomes, amino acids, tRNA, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS), translation initiation factors (e.g., IF1, IF2, IF3), translation elongation factors (e.g., EF-Tu, EF-Ts, EF-G), translation termination factors (e.g., RF1, RF2, RF3), ribosome recycling factors (RRF), NTPs as energy sources, energy regeneration systems, and other factors necessary for translation. If transcription from DNA is also performed, RNA polymerase may be included. The various factors included in cell-free translation systems can be isolated and purified by methods well known to those skilled in the art, and reconstituted cell-free translation systems can be constructed as appropriate using these. Alternatively, commercially available reconstituted cell-free translation systems such as Gene Frontier's PUREfrex® and New England BioLabs' PURExpress® can be used. In the case of reconstituted cell-free translation systems, only the necessary components of the translation system can be reconstituted to construct the desired translation system.
[0042] Aminoacyl-tRNA is synthesized through a specific combination of amino acids, tRNA, and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, and this is used in peptide translation. Alternatively, aminoacyl-tRNA can be used directly as a component of the translation system. In particular, when amino acids that are difficult to aminoacylate with aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, such as unnatural amino acids, are used in translation, it is desirable to use tRNA that has been pre-aminoacylated with unnatural amino acids as a component.
[0043] Translation is initiated by adding mRNA to the translation system. mRNA typically contains the sequence encoding the target peptide, and may also contain sequences that increase the efficiency of the translation reaction (e.g., the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence in prokaryotes, the Kozac sequence in eukaryotes, etc.). Pre-transcribed mRNA may be added directly to the system, or instead of mRNA, a template DNA containing a promoter and a suitable RNA polymerase (e.g., a T7 promoter and T7 RNA polymerase) may be added to the system so that the mRNA is transcribed from the template DNA.
[0044] In this specification, the "~" symbol indicating a numerical range includes the values at both ends of the range. For example, "A~B" means a numerical range where A is greater than or equal to B and B is less than or equal to B.
[0045] In this specification, the meaning of the terms “and / or” includes any combination of “and” and “or” as appropriate. Specifically, for example, “A, B, and / or C” includes the following seven variations: (i) A, (ii) B, (iii) C, (iv) A and B, (v) A and C, (vi) B and C, (vii) A, B, and C.
[0046] II. Translation System and Method for Manufacturing the Translation System In one aspect, the disclosure provides a translation system comprising a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented as M1M2A, and a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented as M1M2G. In one aspect, the disclosure comprises M1 and M2 representing the first and second nucleosides of a codon, respectively, and M1 and M2 are independently selected from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), and uridine (U). Each of the two tRNAs included in the translation system in the disclosure may be an aminoacyl-tRNA to which different amino acids or amino acid analogs are bound. The tRNAs in the disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented as M1M2A and the codon represented as M1M2G. Therefore, by using the translation system containing the tRNA of this disclosure, at least two amino acids or amino acid analogs can be translated from a single codon box (which consists of a codon represented by M1M2U, a codon represented by M1M2C, a codon represented by M1M2A, and a codon represented by M1M2G). The codons represented by M1M2A and M1M2G in this disclosure include all combinations that can be identified by selecting M1 from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), or uridine (U), and selecting M2 from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), or uridine (U). In the disclosure, the phrase "selectively translate codons" can also be rephrased as "differentiate codons" or "reduce cross-reads," and these can be interpreted as having the same meaning.
[0047] In one aspect, the disclosure provides a translation system comprising tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented by M1M2U, tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented by M1M2A, and tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented by M1M2G. In another aspect, the disclosure provides a translation system comprising tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented by M1M2C, tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented by M1M2A, and tRNA having an anticodon complementary to a codon represented by M1M2G. In another aspect, in the disclosure, M1 and M2 represent the first and second nucleosides of a codon, respectively, and M1 and M2 are independently selected from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), and uridine (U). Each of the three types of tRNAs included in the translation system of this disclosure can be an aminoacyl-tRNA to which different amino acids or amino acid analogs are bound. In one aspect, the tRNAs of this disclosure can selectively translate the codons represented by M1M2U, M1M2A, and M1M2G. In another aspect, the tRNAs of this disclosure can selectively translate the codons represented by M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G. Therefore, by using a translation system containing the tRNAs of this disclosure, at least three different amino acids or amino acid analogs can be translated from a single codon box (which consists of the codons represented by M1M2U, M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G). The codons represented by M1M2U and M1M2C in this disclosure include all combinations that can be identified by selecting M1 from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), or uridine (U), and selecting M2 from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), or uridine (U).
[0048] The translation system in this disclosure comprises several different types of tRNAs, from which several different types of amino acids or amino acid analogs can be translated. In one aspect, this disclosure provides compositions and kits for selectively translating codons, comprising several different types of tRNAs suitable for peptide translation. In another aspect, this disclosure provides a method for selectively translating codons, comprising the step of translating a nucleic acid in a translation system comprising several different types of tRNAs suitable for peptide translation. In a particular aspect, the tRNAs of this disclosure are included among the aforementioned several different types of tRNAs.
[0049] Examples of codon combinations that can be selectively translated in this disclosure include the combination of a codon represented by M1M2A and a codon represented by M1M2G, the combination of a codon represented by M1M2U, the combination of a codon represented by M1M2A and a codon represented by M1M2G, and the combination of a codon represented by M1M2C, the combination of a codon represented by M1M2A and a codon represented by M1M2G.
[0050] In one embodiment, the translation system in this disclosure may include nucleic acids containing one or more codons represented by M1M2A and M1M2G. In another embodiment, the translation system in this disclosure may include (i) nucleic acids containing one or more codons represented by M1M2U, M1M2A, and M1M2G, or (ii) nucleic acids containing one or more codons represented by M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G. In yet another embodiment, the translation system in this disclosure may include nucleic acids containing one or more codons represented by M1M2A, M1M2G, M1M2U, and M1M2C. In one embodiment, the translation system in this disclosure may include one or more such nucleic acids.
[0051] In one aspect, this disclosure relates to a method for producing a translation system. The method for producing a translation system in this disclosure includes the step of conjugating an amino acid or amino acid analog to tRNA outside the translation system and / or artificially. In one aspect, the method for producing a translation system in this disclosure further includes the step of mixing the tRNA conjugated with the amino acid or amino acid analog with the translation system in this disclosure. A translation system typically includes ribosomes, translation factors, tRNA, amino acids, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS), and factors necessary for peptide translation reactions, such as ATP and GTP. In particular, in the case of a reconstituted cell-free translation system, only the necessary components of the translation system can be reconstituted to construct the desired translation system. The synthesis of aminoacyl-tRNA (tRNA with amino acids or amino acid analogs attached) within the translation system may occur within the translation system or outside of it. Furthermore, synthesis within and outside the translation system may be used in combination. In some embodiments, tRNAs having anticodons complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A and M1M2G in this disclosure are bound to amino acids or amino acid analogs outside the translation system. In some embodiments, tRNAs having anticodons complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U, M1M2A, and M1M2G in this disclosure are bound to amino acids or amino acid analogs outside the translation system. In some embodiments, tRNAs having anticodons complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G in this disclosure are bound to amino acids or amino acid analogs outside the translation system. In a further embodiment, tRNAs other than those mentioned above that are included in the translation system may be bound to amino acids or amino acid analogs within the translation system, or to amino acids or amino acid analogs outside the translation system.
[0052] In this disclosure, tRNA is preferably an artificially linked amino acid or amino acid analog. tRNA may be natural tRNA derived from any organism (e.g., Escherichia coli), or it may be an artificially synthesized non-natural tRNA having a different sequence from natural tRNA. Alternatively, it may be an artificially synthesized tRNA having the same sequence as natural tRNA. Furthermore, tRNA in this disclosure may be "tRNA transcribed and synthesized in vitro."
[0053] In some embodiments, if the tRNA in this disclosure is a modified tRNA having a sequence different from that of natural tRNA, the modified tRNA may include at least one modification selected from the following group to one or more nucleosides constituting the tRNA: (i) addition (adding any new nucleoside to an existing tRNA), (ii) deletion (removing any nucleoside from an existing tRNA), (iii) substitution (replacing any nucleoside in an existing tRNA with another nucleoside), (iv) insertion (adding any new nucleoside between any two nucleosides in an existing tRNA), or (v) modification (changing a part of the structure of any nucleoside in an existing tRNA (e.g., a base portion or a sugar portion) to a different structure). The modification may be made to any structure of the tRNA (e.g., the D arm, anticodon arm, T arm, acceptor stem, variable loop, etc.). In some embodiments, the modification of the tRNA in this disclosure is made to the anticodon contained in the anticodon arm. In a further embodiment, the modification of the tRNA in this disclosure is performed on at least one of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nucleosides of the anticodon. According to the nucleoside numbering rules in tRNA, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nucleosides of the anticodon correspond to positions 34, 35, and 36 of the tRNA, respectively. In this specification, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nucleosides of the anticodon may be denoted as N1, N2, and N3, respectively. The number of nucleosides modified in the tRNA of this disclosure can be any number of one or more. In some embodiments, the number of nucleosides modified in the tRNA of this disclosure may be 20 or less, 15 or less, 10 or less, 9 or less, 8 or less, 7 or less, 6 or less, 5 or less, 4 or less, 3 or less, 2 or less, or 1. In another embodiment, the nucleic acid sequence of the modified tRNA is identical to that of the original nucleic acid sequence by 80% or more, 85% or more, 90% or more, 91% or more, 92% or more, 93% or more, 94% or more, 95% or more, 96% or more, 97% or more, 98% or more, or 99% or more.In this disclosure, "percent (%) sequence identity" for a given nucleotide sequence is defined as the percentage ratio of nucleotides in a candidate sequence that are identical to nucleotides in a reference sequence, after the sequences have been aligned to obtain the greatest possible percent sequence identity and gaps have been introduced where necessary, and no conservative substitutions are considered part of the sequence identity. Alignment for the purpose of determining the percent sequence identity of a nucleotide sequence can be achieved by using various methods within the scope of the art, such as publicly available computer software, including BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, Megalign (DNASTAR) software, or GENETYX® (Genetics Co., Ltd.). A person skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithm necessary to achieve the greatest possible alignment over the entire length of the sequences being compared.
[0054] In some embodiments, tRNA modification in this disclosure means the substitution of one or more nucleosides that make up the tRNA.

[0055] The tRNA modified in this disclosure can be appropriately selected from tRNAs having any nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the tRNA is one of tRNA Ala, tRNA Arg, tRNA Asn, tRNA Asp, tRNA Cys, tRNA Gln, tRNA Glu, tRNA Gly, tRNA His, tRNA Ile, tRNA Leu, tRNA Lys, tRNA Met, tRNA Phe, tRNA Pro, tRNA Ser, tRNA Thr, tRNA Trp, tRNA Tyr, or tRNA Val. In addition to the 20 types of tRNA listed above, tRNA fMet, tRNA Sec (selenocysteine), tRNA Pyl (pyrrolicin), tRNA AsnE2, etc., may also be used. In certain embodiments, the tRNA is one of tRNA Glu, tRNA Asp, tRNA AsnE2, tRNA(fMet), or tRNA(Ile). The term tRNA body is sometimes used to refer to the main structural part of tRNA (the main structural part composed of nucleic acid).
[0056] In this disclosure, tRNA may be referred to as follows: • "tRNA Xxx" or "tRNA(Xxx)" indicates the full-length tRNA corresponding to amino acid Xxx (e.g., tRNA Glu or tRNA(Glu)). • "tRNA(Xxx)nnn" ... Indicates a tRNA (full length) that corresponds to amino acid Xxx and has an anticodon sequence of nnn (e.g., tRNA(Glu)uga or tRNA(Glu)Lga). • "tRNA(Xxx)nnn-CA" ... indicates a tRNA corresponding to amino acid Xxx, with an anticodon sequence of nnn (with the CA sequence at the 3' end removed) (e.g., tRNA(Glu)uga-CA or tRNA(Glu)Lga-CA).
[0057] In some embodiments, the tRNAs of this disclosure are either initiator tRNAs or elongation tRNAs. A tRNA may be created by modifying an initiator tRNA or elongation tRNA, and the tRNA created by modification may function as an initiator tRNA or elongation tRNA. Whether a tRNA functions as an initiator tRNA can be determined by whether, when used in a translation system, it (i) can be introduced into a ribosome via IF2, and (ii) can initiate peptide translation using the amino acid bound to the tRNA as the initiating amino acid. Whether a tRNA functions as an elongation tRNA can be determined by whether, when used in a translation system, it (i) can be introduced into a ribosome via EF-Tu, and (ii) can incorporate the amino acid bound to the tRNA into a peptide chain to elongate the peptide chain.
[0058] In some embodiments, the tRNAs of this disclosure are prokaryotic or eukaryotic tRNAs. Mutant tRNAs may be produced by modifying prokaryotic or eukaryotic tRNAs, and the tRNAs produced by modification may have the highest nucleic acid sequence identity with the prokaryotic or eukaryotic tRNAs. Eukaryotes are further classified into animals, plants, fungi, and protists. The tRNAs of this disclosure may be, for example, human tRNAs. Prokaryotes are further classified into bacteria and archaea. Examples of bacteria include Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus, or Desulfitobacterium hafniense. Examples of archaea include halophiles, thermophiles, or methanogens (e.g., Methanosarcina mazei, Methanosarcina barkeri, Methanocaldococcus jannaschii). The tRNAs in this disclosure may be derived from, for example, Escherichia coli, Desulfitobacterium hafniense, or Methanosarcina mazei.
[0059] In some embodiments, the tRNAs in this disclosure may not have an anticodon, for example, lysidine (k2C), a lysidine derivative, agmatidine (agm2C), or an agmatidine derivative in its first letter (N1). In certain embodiments, the tRNAs in this disclosure may not have an anticodon, for example, lysidine (k2C), a lysidine derivative, agmatidine (agm2C), or an agmatidine derivative in its first letter (N1).
[0060] tRNA can be synthesized, for example, by preparing DNA encoding a desired tRNA gene, placing an appropriate promoter such as T7, T3, or SP6 upstream of it, and performing a transcription reaction using RNA polymerase adapted to each promoter with the DNA as a template. Alternatively, tRNA can be prepared by purification from biological materials. For example, tRNA can be recovered by preparing an extract from tRNA-containing materials such as cells and adding a probe containing a sequence complementary to the tRNA nucleic acid sequence. In this case, it is also possible to prepare an expression vector capable of expressing the desired tRNA and use cells transformed with this expression vector as the material. tRNA synthesized by in vitro transcription usually contains only four typical nucleosides: adenosine, guanosine, cytidine, and uridine. On the other hand, tRNA synthesized intracellularly may also contain modified nucleosides obtained by modifying these nucleosides. Alternatively, tRNA can also be prepared by ligating fragments synthesized by transcription or chemically synthesized fragments by enzymatic reactions, as described in the examples below.
[0061] Aminoacyl-tRNAs can also be prepared by chemical and / or biological synthesis methods. For example, aminoacyl-tRNAs can be synthesized by attaching amino acids to tRNA using aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS). The amino acids may be natural or non-natural amino acids, as long as they can serve as substrates for ARS. Alternatively, natural amino acids may be attached to tRNA, and then chemical modifications may be made to the amino acids. Furthermore, numerous examples have been reported in which the effect on non-natural amino acids has been enhanced by introducing amino acid mutations into ARS (see, for example, WO2006 / 135096, WO2007 / 061136, WO2007 / 103307, WO2008 / 001947, WO2010 / 141851, WO2015 / 120287), and amino acids may be attached to tRNA using such mutant ARSs. Besides the ARS method, aminoacyl-tRNA can also be synthesized by removing the CA sequence from the 3' end of tRNA and then attaching an aminoacylated pdCpA (a dinucleotide composed of deoxycytidine and adenosine) to it using RNA ligase (pdCpA method; Hecht et al., J Biol Chem (1978) 253: 4517-4520). A method using pCpA (a dinucleotide composed of cytidine and adenosine) instead of pdCpA is also known (pCpA method; Wang et al., ACS Chem Biol (2015) 10: 2187-2192). That is, aminoacylated tRNA can be prepared by attaching the pCpA-amino acid to the CA-deficient tRNA at the 3' end using RNA ligase.Furthermore, aminoacyl-tRNA can also be synthesized by binding non-natural amino acids, which have been activated beforehand by esterification, to tRNA using an artificial RNA catalyst (flexizyme) (WO2007 / 066627, WO2012 / 026566, H. Murakami et al., Chemistry & Biology, Vol. 10, 2003, 655-662; H. Murakami et al., Chemistry & Biology, Vol. 10, 2003, 1077-1084; H. Murakami et al., Nature Methods 3, 2006, 357-359; N. Niwa et al., Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 19, 2009, 3892-3894). Flexizyme is an artificial RNA catalyst capable of linking amino acids or hydroxy acids to tRNA. The term "flexizyme" in this disclosure includes the original flexizyme (Fx), as well as modified versions thereof such as dinitrobenzylflexizyme (dFx), enhanced flexizyme (eFx), and aminoflexizyme (aFx).
[0062] In some embodiments, the tRNAs of this disclosure are bound to amino acids or amino acid analogs. These amino acids or amino acid analogs are typically bound to the 3' end of the tRNA, more specifically, to an adenosine residue in the 3'-terminal CCA sequence. The specific types of amino acids or amino acid analogs bound to the tRNA can be appropriately selected from the amino acids or amino acid analogs listed below.
[0063] The amino acids in this disclosure include α-amino acids, β-amino acids, γ-amino acids, etc. In terms of three-dimensional structure, both L-type and D-type amino acids are included. Furthermore, the amino acids in this disclosure include both natural and non-natural amino acids. In certain embodiments, natural amino acids consist of the following 20 α-amino acids: glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala), serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), valine (Val), leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr), tryptophan (Trp), histidine (His), glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), glutamine (Gln), asparagine (Asn), cysteine (Cys), methionine (Met), lysine (Lys), arginine (Arg), and proline (Pro). Alternatively, the natural amino acids in this disclosure may be those obtained by excluding one or more amino acids from the 20 amino acids mentioned above. In one embodiment, the natural amino acids consist of 19 amino acids excluding isoleucine. In another embodiment, the natural amino acids consist of 19 amino acids excluding methionine. In yet another embodiment, the natural amino acids consist of 18 amino acids excluding isoleucine and methionine. Natural amino acids are usually L-type amino acids.
[0064] In the present disclosure, non-natural amino acids refer to all amino acids excluding the natural amino acids composed of the above 20 types of α-amino acids. Examples of non-natural amino acids include β-amino acids, γ-amino acids, D-type amino acids, α-amino acids with side chains different from natural amino acids, α,α-disubstituted amino acids, amino acids in which the amino group of the main chain has a substituent (N-substituted amino acids), and the like. The side chain of the non-natural amino acid is not particularly limited, but in addition to a hydrogen atom, it may have, for example, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, etc. Further, in the case of α,α-disubstituted amino acids, two side chains may form a ring. Furthermore, these side chains may have one or more substituents. In a specific embodiment, the substituent can be selected from any functional group containing a halogen atom, O atom, S atom, N atom, B atom, Si atom, or P atom. For example, in the present disclosure, "C1-C6 alkyl having a halogen as a substituent" means "C1-C6 alkyl" in which at least one hydrogen atom in the alkyl is substituted with a halogen atom. Specifically, for example, trifluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, fluoromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, tetrafluoroethyl, trifluoroethyl, difluoroethyl, fluoroethyl, trichloromethyl, dichloromethyl, chloromethyl, pentachloroethyl, tetrachloroethyl, trichloroethyl, dichloroethyl, chloroethyl, etc. are included. Also, for example, "C5-C 10 aryl C1-C6 alkyl" means "C5-C 10 aryl C1-C6 alkyl" in which at least one hydrogen atom in the aryl and / or alkyl is substituted with a substituent. Furthermore, "having two or more substituents" also includes having a certain functional group (for example, a functional group containing an S atom) as a substituent, and further that the functional group has another substituent (for example, a substituent such as amino or halogen). For specific examples of non-natural amino acids, reference can also be made to WO2013 / 100132, WO2018 / 143145, etc.
[0065] The amino group in the main chain of a non-natural amino acid may be an unsubstituted amino group (NH2 group) or a substituted amino group (NHR group). Here, R represents an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, or cycloalkyl group, which may have substituents. In addition, the carbon chain bonded to the N atom of the amino group in the main chain and the carbon atom at the α position may form a ring, as in proline. The substituent can be selected from any functional group containing a halogen atom, an O atom, an S atom, an N atom, a B atom, an Si atom, or a P atom.

[0093] In this disclosure, amino acids may be translatable amino acids, and amino acid analogs may be translatable amino acid analogs. In this specification, "translatable" amino acids or amino acid analogs (sometimes collectively referred to as amino acids, etc.) mean amino acids, etc. that can be incorporated into peptides by translation synthesis (for example, using the translation system described in this disclosure). Whether an amino acid, etc. is translatable can be confirmed by a translation synthesis experiment using tRNA to which the amino acid, etc. is bound. A reconstituted cell-free translation system may be used for the translation synthesis experiment (see, for example, WO2013100132).
[0094] The non-natural amino acids and amino acid analogs in this disclosure can be prepared by conventionally known chemical synthesis methods, the synthesis methods described in the examples below, or similar synthesis methods.
[0095] In some embodiments, the tRNA of the Disclosure can read out codons represented by M1M2A and M1M2G and translate each of these codons into a different amino acid or amino acid analog. In some embodiments, the tRNA of the Disclosure can read out codons represented by M1M2U, M1M2A, and M1M2G and translate each of these codons into a different amino acid or amino acid analog. In some embodiments, the tRNA of the Disclosure can read out codons represented by M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G and translate each of these codons into a different amino acid or amino acid analog. Here, the first nucleoside (M1) and the second nucleoside (M2) of the codon are independently selected from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), and uridine (U). In another embodiment, the tRNA of the Disclosure has anticodons complementary to a specific codon represented by M1M2A and a specific codon represented by M1M2G. In yet another embodiment, the tRNA of the Disclosure has anticodons complementary to a specific codon represented by M1M2U, a specific codon represented by M1M2A, and a specific codon represented by M1M2G. In yet another embodiment, the tRNA of the Disclosure has anticodons complementary to a specific codon represented by M1M2C, a specific codon represented by M1M2A, and a specific codon represented by M1M2G. In a further embodiment, the third nucleoside (N3) and the second nucleoside (N2) of the anticodon in the tRNA can be selected as nucleosides complementary to M1 and M2, respectively, and N2 and N3 can each be independently selected from adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), and uridine (U). Specifically, when M2 (or M1) is adenosine, N2 (or N3) is uridine. When M2 (or M1) is guanosine, N2 (or N3) is cytidine. When M2 (or M1) is cytidine, N2 (or N3) is guanosine. When M2 (or M1) is uridine, N2 (or N3) is adenosine.
[0096] In the context of this disclosure, the expression "a tRNA is capable of translating a particular codon" essentially encompasses the expression "a tRNA has an anticodon complementary to a particular codon," and these expressions are interchangeable insofar as they refer to the sequence of the anticodon on the tRNA.
[0097] The first nucleoside (M1) and second nucleoside (M2) of the translatable codons of the tRNA constituting the translation system in this disclosure can be selected from the first nucleoside (M1) and second nucleoside (M2) of the codons constituting a particular codon box in the genetic code table, respectively. In a particular embodiment, the genetic code table is a standard genetic code table. In another embodiment, the genetic code table is a natural genetic code table.
[0098] In another embodiment, M1 and M2 in this disclosure can be selected from codon boxes in the natural genetic code table where a stop codon is assigned to the codon represented by M1M2A and an amino acid is assigned to the codon represented by M1M2G. In another embodiment, M1 and M2 in this disclosure can be selected from codon boxes in the natural genetic code table where both the codon represented by M1M2A and the codon represented by M1M2G are assigned to stop codons. In some embodiments, translation systems whose genetic code table is identical to that of the natural genetic code table are excluded from the translation systems in this disclosure. In some embodiments, translation systems whose genetic code table is identical to that of the genetic code table listed in Table 1 are excluded from the translation systems in this disclosure.
[0099] In one embodiment, M1 and M2 can be selected from the codons that constitute a codon box in which the codon whose third letter is A and the codon whose third letter is G both code for the same amino acid. For example, in a codon box represented by UUM3, the codon whose third letter is A (UUA) and the codon whose third letter is G (UUG) both code for the same amino acid (Leu), so the first nucleoside (U) and the second nucleoside (U) of the codons that constitute the same codon box can be selected as M1 and M2, respectively.
[0100] In one embodiment, M1 and M2 can be selected from the codons that constitute a codon box in which the codon whose third letter is U and the codon whose third letter is A both code for the same amino acid. For example, in a codon box represented by AUM3, the codon whose third letter is U (AUU) and the codon whose third letter is A (AUA) both code for the same amino acid (Ile), so the first nucleoside (A) and the second nucleoside (U) of the codons that constitute the same codon box can be selected as M1 and M2, respectively.
[0101] In one embodiment, M1 and M2 can be selected from the codons that constitute a codon box in which the codon whose third letter is A and the codon whose third letter is G code for different amino acids. For example, in a codon box represented by AUM3, the codon whose third letter is A (AUA) and the codon whose third letter is G (AUG) code for different amino acids (Ile and Met), so the first nucleoside (A) and the second nucleoside (U) of the codons that constitute the same codon box can be selected as M1 and M2, respectively.
[0102] In one embodiment, M1 and M2 can be selected from the codons that constitute a codon box in which the third character is A and / or the third character is G, respectively. For example, in a codon box represented by UGM3, the third character is A (UGA), which is the stop codon (opal), so the first nucleoside (U) and the second nucleoside (G) of the codons that constitute the same codon box can be selected as M1 and M2, respectively.

[0118] In one embodiment, N3 and N2 can be selected as nucleosides complementary to the first nucleoside (C) and the second nucleoside (G) of the codon that constitutes the codon box represented by CGM3, respectively. Specifically, G can be selected as N3 and C as N2.

[0124] In some embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2A compared to other codons. These other codons may be different codons from the one represented by M1M2A, such as M1M2U, M1M2C, or M1M2G. In certain embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2A compared to any of the codons represented by M1M2U, M1M2C, and M1M2G.
[0125] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a tRNA to selectively translate M1M2A codons means that the amount of M1M2A codons translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of other codons translated by the tRNA. For example, whether a certain tRNA can selectively translate the codon represented by CUA can be determined by whether the amount of CUA codon translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUG codon translated by the tRNA.
[0126] When comparing the amount of a specific codon (e.g., M1M2A) translated with the amount of other codons (e.g., M1M2G) translated, one can, for example, prepare an mRNA encoding a peptide that contains the M1M2A codon, and another mRNA that has the same nucleic acid sequence as the first mRNA except that the M1M2A codon is replaced with the M1M2G codon. These two mRNAs are then translated under the same conditions, and the resulting amounts of the two synthesized peptides are compared.
[0127] In another embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2A may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A in this disclosure, rather than by other tRNAs. These other tRNAs may be tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to a codon different from the codon represented by M1M2A, such as a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to any of the codons M1M2U, M1M2C, or M1M2G. In a particular embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2A may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon M1M2A in this disclosure, rather than by any of the tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon M1M2U, the M1M2C, or the M1M2G.
[0128] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a codon represented by M1M2A to be selectively translated by a certain tRNA means that the amount of M1M2A codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of M1M2A codon translated by other tRNAs. For example, whether a codon represented by CUA can be selectively translated by a certain tRNA can be determined by whether the amount of CUA codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUA codon translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the CUG codon (for example, a tRNA having an anticodon for CAG).
[0129] The translation system of this disclosure may have both of the above characteristics. That is, in a particular embodiment, in the translation system of this disclosure, (i) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2A compared to other codons, and (ii) the codon represented by M1M2A can be selectively translated by tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A compared to other tRNAs. When such a relationship holds, in the translation system of this disclosure, peptide translation using tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A and peptide translation using other tRNAs are in an independent relationship that does not interact with each other, i.e., an orthogonal relationship. In translation systems of naturally occurring organisms, a strict correspondence relationship is originally established between codons and amino acids, so the addition of tRNAs that are not orthogonal can disrupt this correspondence relationship and may have a fatal effect on the function of the translation system. Therefore, in the translation system of this disclosure, the establishment of orthogonality between tRNAs having anticodons complementary to the codons represented by M1M2A and other tRNAs can be considered one of its important features.
[0130] In one embodiment, the translation system in this disclosure comprises at least two tRNAs: (a) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, and (b) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G. The tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A and the tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G in this disclosure may have identical or different nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon. If the nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon are identical, the physicochemical properties of these two tRNAs may be similar to each other, which may allow for the construction of a more homogeneous and stable translation system.
[0131] In some embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2G compared to other codons. These other codons may be different from the codon represented by M1M2G, such as M1M2U, M1M2C, or M1M2A. In certain embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2G compared to any of the codons represented by M1M2U, M1M2C, and M1M2A.
[0132] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a tRNA to selectively translate M1M2G codons means that the amount of M1M2G codons translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of other codons translated by the tRNA. For example, whether a certain tRNA can selectively translate codons represented by CUG can be determined by whether the amount of CUG codons translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUA codons translated by the tRNA.
[0133] In another embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2G may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G in this disclosure, rather than by other tRNAs. These other tRNAs may be tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to a codon different from the codon represented by M1M2G, such as a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to any of the codons M1M2U, M1M2C, or M1M2A. In a particular embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2G may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon M1M2G in this disclosure, rather than by any of the tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon M1M2U, the M1M2C, or the M1M2A.
[0134] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a codon represented by M1M2G to be selectively translated by a certain tRNA means that the amount of M1M2G codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of M1M2G codon translated by other tRNAs. For example, whether a codon represented by CUG can be selectively translated by a certain tRNA can be determined by whether the amount of CUG codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUG codon translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the CUA codon (for example, a tRNA having an anticodon for UAG).
[0135] The translation system of this disclosure may have both of the above characteristics. That is, in a particular embodiment, in the translation system of this disclosure, (i) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2G compared to other codons, and (ii) the codon represented by M1M2G can be selectively translated by tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G compared to other tRNAs. When such a relationship holds, in the translation system of this disclosure, peptide translation using tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G and peptide translation using other tRNAs can be said to be in an independent relationship, i.e., orthogonal, where they do not interact with each other. The establishment of orthogonality between tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G and other tRNAs in the translation system of this disclosure can be an important characteristic.
[0136] In a further embodiment, the amino acid bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A in this disclosure (hereinafter also referred to as "amino acid-A") and the amino acid bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G (hereinafter also referred to as "amino acid-G") are of different types. When the orthogonal relationship described above holds for the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A and the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G in this disclosure, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the M1M2A codon and amino acid-A, and between the M1M2G codon and amino acid-G in this translation system. That is, in the translation system of this disclosure, it is possible to translate two different types of amino acids from two codons, (i) M1M2A and (ii) M1M2G, that exist within the same codon box.
[0137] In one embodiment, the translation system in this disclosure comprises at least three tRNAs: (a) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, (b) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G, and (c) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U. The tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G, and the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U in this disclosure may have identical nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon, or they may be different from each other. If the nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon are identical, the physicochemical properties of these three tRNAs may be similar to each other, which may allow for the construction of a more homogeneous and stable translation system.
[0138] In some embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2U compared to other codons. These other codons may be different from the codon represented by M1M2U, for example, the codons represented by M1M2A or M1M2G. In certain embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2U compared to either the codon represented by M1M2A or M1M2G.
[0139] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a tRNA to selectively translate M1M2U codons means that the amount of M1M2U codons translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of other codons translated by the tRNA. For example, whether a certain tRNA can selectively translate codons represented by CUU can be determined by whether the amount of CUU codons translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUA codons translated by the tRNA.
[0140] In another embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2U may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U in this disclosure, rather than by other tRNAs. These other tRNAs may be tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to a codon different from the codon represented by M1M2U, such as a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to either the M1M2A or M1M2G codon. In a particular embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2U may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the M1M2U codon in this disclosure, rather than by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the M1M2A codon or a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the M1M2G codon.
[0141] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a codon represented by M1M2U to be selectively translated by a certain tRNA means that the amount of M1M2U codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of M1M2U codon translated by other tRNAs. For example, whether a codon represented by CUU can be selectively translated by a certain tRNA can be determined by whether the amount of CUU codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUU codon translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the CUA codon (for example, a tRNA having an anticodon of UAG).
[0142] The translation system of this disclosure may have both of the above characteristics. That is, in a particular embodiment, in the translation system of this disclosure, (i) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2U compared to other codons, and (ii) the codon represented by M1M2U can be selectively translated by tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U compared to other tRNAs. When such a relationship holds, in the translation system of this disclosure, peptide translation using tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U and peptide translation using other tRNAs are in an independent relationship that does not interact with each other, i.e., an orthogonal relationship. The establishment of orthogonality between tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U and other tRNAs in the translation system of this disclosure can be one of its important characteristics.
[0143] In a further embodiment, the amino acids bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A in this disclosure ("amino acid-A"), the amino acids bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G ("amino acid-G"), and the amino acids bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U (hereinafter, this amino acid will also be referred to as "amino acid-U") are all different types of amino acids. When the orthogonal relationships described above hold true for the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G, and the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U in this disclosure, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the codon of M1M2A and amino acid-A, the codon of M1M2G and amino acid-G, and the codon of M1M2U and amino acid-U in this translation system. In other words, the translation system of this disclosure can translate three different amino acids from three codons located within the same codon box: (i) M1M2A, (ii) M1M2G, and (iii) M1M2U. Alternatively, the translation system of this disclosure can translate three different amino acids from a codon box composed of M1M2U, M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G.
[0144] In one embodiment, the translation system in this disclosure comprises at least three tRNAs: (a) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, (b) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G, and (c) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C. The tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G, and the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C in this disclosure may have identical nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon, or they may be different from each other. If the nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon are identical, the physicochemical properties of these three tRNAs may be similar to each other, which may allow for the construction of a more homogeneous and stable translation system.
[0145] In some embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2C compared to other codons. These other codons may be different from the codon represented by M1M2C, for example, the codon represented by M1M2A or M1M2G. In certain embodiments, a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C in this disclosure can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2C compared to either the codon represented by M1M2A or M1M2G.
[0146] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a tRNA to selectively translate M1M2C codons means that the amount of M1M2C codons translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of other codons translated by the tRNA. For example, whether a certain tRNA can selectively translate codons represented by CUC can be determined by whether the amount of CUC codons translated by the tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUA codons translated by the tRNA.
[0147] In another embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2C may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C in this disclosure, rather than by other tRNAs. These other tRNAs may be tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to a codon different from the codon represented by M1M2C, such as a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to either the M1M2A or M1M2G codon. In a particular embodiment, the codon represented by M1M2C may be selectively translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the M1M2C codon in this disclosure, rather than by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the M1M2A codon or a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the M1M2G codon.
[0148] In one aspect of this disclosure, the ability of a codon represented by M1M2C to be selectively translated by a certain tRNA means that the amount of M1M2C codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of M1M2C codon translated by other tRNAs. For example, whether a codon represented by CUC can be selectively translated by a certain tRNA can be determined by whether the amount of CUC codon translated by that tRNA is, for example, 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times, 15 times, 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, 60 times, 70 times, 80 times, 90 times, or 100 times greater than the amount of CUC codon translated by a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the CUA codon (for example, a tRNA having an anticodon of UAG).
[0149] The translation system of this disclosure may have both of the above characteristics. That is, in a particular embodiment, in the translation system of this disclosure, (i) a tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C can selectively translate the codon represented by M1M2C compared to other codons, and (ii) the codon represented by M1M2C can be selectively translated by tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C compared to other tRNAs. When such a relationship holds, in the translation system of this disclosure, peptide translation using tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C and peptide translation using other tRNAs are in an independent relationship that does not interact with each other, i.e., an orthogonal relationship. The establishment of orthogonality between tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C and other tRNAs in the translation system of this disclosure can be an important characteristic.
[0150] In a further embodiment, the amino acid bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A in this disclosure ("amino acid-A"), the amino acid bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G ("amino acid-G"), and the amino acid bound to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C (hereinafter, this amino acid will also be referred to as "amino acid-C") are all different types of amino acids. When the above-described orthogonal relationships hold with respect to the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G, and the tRNA having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C in this disclosure, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the codon of M1M2A and amino acid-A, the codon of M1M2G and amino acid-G, and the codon of M1M2C and amino acid-C in this translation system. In other words, the translation system of this disclosure can translate three different amino acids from three codons located within the same codon box: (i) M1M2A, (ii) M1M2G, and (iii) M1M2C. Alternatively, the translation system of this disclosure can translate three different amino acids from a codon box composed of M1M2U, M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G.
[0151] In some embodiments, at least one of the tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2A, tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2G, tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2U, and tRNAs having an anticodon complementary to the codon represented by M1M2C may have a non-natural amino acid bound to it.
[0152] In some embodiments, the tRNA of this disclosure may be assigned to a codon constituting at least one codon box in the genetic code table. In a further embodiment, the tRNA of this disclosure may be assigned to codons constituting multiple codon boxes in the genetic code table. The multiple codon boxes can be, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16 codon boxes.

Furthermore, tRNAs assigned to codons constituting different codon boxes may have identical or different nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon. If the nucleic acid sequences other than the anticodon are identical, the physicochemical properties of these tRNAs may be similar to each other, potentially leading to the construction of a more homogeneous and stable translation system.

Preferably, a set of any tRNAs capable of translating each codon into some amino acid is assigned to the codons constituting the remaining codon boxes. Such a set of tRNAs may be derived from natural tRNAs or may be artificially synthesized tRNAs.

[0180] In one embodiment, the peptide of the Disclosure may contain N-substituted amino acids, the number of which may be, for example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc. In another embodiment, the peptide of the Disclosure may contain unsubstituted amino acids, the number of which may be, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. In a further embodiment, the peptide of the Disclosure may contain both N-substituted amino acids and unsubstituted amino acids.
[0181] In some embodiments, the peptides of this disclosure may be linear peptides or peptides having a cyclic portion. A peptide having a cyclic portion means a peptide in which a cyclic structure is formed within the molecule by the binding of the main chain or side chain of one amino acid or amino acid analog present on the peptide chain to the main chain or side chain of another amino acid or amino acid analog present on the same peptide chain. A peptide having a cyclic portion may consist only of a cyclic portion or may contain both a cyclic portion and a linear portion. The number of amino acids or amino acid analogs contained in the cyclic portion may be, for example, 4 or more, 5 or more, 6 or more, 7 or more, 8 or more, 9 or more, etc., and may also be 14 or less, 13 or less, 12 or less, 11 or less, etc. Alternatively, it may be selected from 9, 10, or 11.

[0182] For example, a peptide bond formed from an amino group and a carboxyl group can be used as a bond to form the cyclic portion. In addition, amide bonds, disulfide bonds, ether bonds, thioether bonds, ester bonds, thioester bonds, carbon-carbon bonds, alkyl bonds, alkenyl bonds, phosphonate ether bonds, azo bonds, amine bonds, C=NC bonds, lactam crosslinks, carbamoyl bonds, urea bonds, thiourea bonds, thioamide bonds, sulfinyl bonds, sulfonyl bonds, triazole bonds, benzoxazole bonds, etc., formed from appropriate combinations of functional groups can be used.

In one embodiment, the peptide of this disclosure contains at least one set of functional groups capable of forming the above bonds intramolecularly. The formation of the cyclic portion may be achieved by separately performing a reaction to bond the above functional groups together after a linear peptide has been produced using the translation system of this disclosure. For the synthesis of peptides containing cyclic portions, you can also refer to WO2013 / 100132, WO2012 / 026566, WO2012 / 033154, WO2012 / 074130, WO2015 / 030014, WO2018 / 052002, Comb Chem High Throughput Screen (2010) 13: 75-87, Nat Chem Biol (2009) 5: 502-507, Nat Chem Biol (2009) 5: 888-90, Bioconjug Chem (2007) 18: 469-476, ChemBioChem (2009) 10: 787-798, Chem Commun (Camb) (2011) 47: 9946-9958, etc.
[0183] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid translated in the translation system of the present disclosure is mRNA. The mRNA may encode a peptide having a desired amino acid sequence. By adding the mRNA to the translation system of the present disclosure, the mRNA can be translated into a peptide. On the other hand, if the translation system includes an RNA polymerase for transcribing DNA into mRNA, by adding the DNA to the translation system of the present disclosure, both the transcription of the DNA into mRNA and the translation of the mRNA into a peptide can be performed simultaneously. The mRNA may contain at least the codons represented by M1M2A and M1M2G, the codon represented by M1M2U, the codon represented by M1M2A and M1M2G, or the codon represented by M1M2C, the codon represented by M1M2A and M1M2G.
[0184] While methionine is typically present as the starting amino acid at the N-terminus of a peptide to be translated, several methods have been reported for introducing amino acids other than methionine to the N-terminus. These methods may be used in combination with the peptide production methods described herein. One such method is to translate nucleic acids that start from a desired amino acid using an initiation tRNA aminoacylated with an amino acid other than methionine (Initiation Suppression). In particular, since the tolerance for exogenous amino acids is higher at the start of translation than during peptide chain elongation, it may be possible to use amino acids with structures significantly different from natural amino acids at the N-terminus (Goto & Suga, J Am Chem Soc (2009) 131(14): 5040-5041). Another method is to start translation from the second or later codon by removing the initiation methionyl tRNA from the translation system or by replacing the starting amino acid with an amino acid other than methionine that has low translation efficiency (Initiation Read-Through). Another method involves removing the methionine at the N-terminus of a peptide by treating it with enzymes such as peptide deformylase and methionine aminopeptidase (Meinnel et al., Biochimie (1993) 75: 1061-1075). By preparing a peptide library that starts with methionine and treating it with the above enzymes, a peptide library in which the N-terminus starts with a random amino acid can be prepared.
[0185] In another aspect, the Disclosure provides peptides produced by the peptide production methods described herein. Peptides obtained by further chemical modification of peptides produced by the methods described herein are also included in the peptides provided by the Disclosure.
[0186] In one aspect, this disclosure provides a method for producing a peptide library, comprising translating a nucleic acid library using the translation system of this disclosure. By preparing multiple nucleic acid molecules, each encoding a peptide and exhibiting a high degree of diversity in nucleic acid sequences, and translating each of these into peptides, multiple peptide molecules exhibiting a high degree of diversity in amino acid sequences can be produced. The size of the library is not particularly limited, but for example, 10 6 The above 10 7 The above 10 8 The above 10 9 The above 10 10 The above 10 11 The above 10 12 The above 10 13 The above 10 14The above are some examples of possible nucleic acids. The nucleic acid may be DNA or RNA. RNA is usually mRNA. DNA is translated into peptides via transcription to mRNA. Such nucleic acid libraries can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art or by similar methods. When synthesizing nucleic acid libraries, multiple nucleic acid molecules with diverse nucleic acid sequences can be easily prepared by using mixed bases at desired positions. Examples of codons using mixed bases include NNN (where N represents a mixture of four bases: A, T, G, and C), NNW (where W represents a mixture of two bases: A and T), NNM (where W represents a mixture of two bases: A and C), NNK (where K represents a mixture of two bases: G and T), and NNS (where S represents a mixture of two bases: C and G). Alternatively, by limiting the base used in the third letter of the codon to one of A, T, G, or C, it is possible to synthesize nucleic acid libraries that encode only certain specific amino acids. Furthermore, when creating codons containing mixed bases, it is possible to arbitrarily adjust the frequency of occurrence of the amino acids derived from that codon by mixing multiple bases in different ratios rather than equal proportions. By preparing multiple codon units of different types, using the above-mentioned codons as a single unit, and linking them in a desired order, it becomes possible to design a library in which the position and frequency of occurrence of the included amino acids are controlled.
[0187] In some embodiments, the peptide library in this disclosure is a library in which peptides are displayed on nucleic acids (a nucleic acid display library, or simply a display library). The display library is characterized in that a phenotype and a genotype are associated by the binding of a peptide to the nucleic acid encoding it to form a complex. Examples of major display libraries include mRNA display (Roberts and Szostak, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (1997) 94: 12297-12302), in vitro virus display (Nemoto et al., FEBS Lett (1997) 414: 405-408), cDNA display (Yamaguchi et al., Nucleic Acids Res (2009) 37: e108), ribosome display (Mattheakis et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (1994) 91: 9022-9026), covalent display (Reiersen et al., Nucleic Acids Res (2005) 33: e10), and CIS display (Odegrip et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (2004) 101: Libraries prepared using methods such as those described in 2806-2810 can be cited. Alternatively, libraries prepared using the in vitro compartmentalization method (Tawfik and Griffiths, Nat Biotechnol (1998) 16: 652-656) can also be cited as a form of display library.
[0188] In another aspect, the Disclosure provides a peptide library prepared by the method for producing a peptide library in the Disclosure.
[0189] In one aspect, this disclosure provides a method for identifying peptides having binding activity to a target molecule, the method comprising contacting a target molecule with a peptide library according to this disclosure. The target molecule is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected from, for example, small molecules, large molecules, nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, sugars, lipids, etc. The target molecule may be an extracellular molecule or an intracellular molecule. Alternatively, it may be a molecule located on the cell membrane, in which case the extracellular domain, transmembrane domain, or intracellular domain may be targeted. In the step of contacting the peptide library with the target molecule, the target molecule is usually immobilized on some kind of solid support (e.g., a microtiter plate or microbeads). Subsequently, peptides that are not bound to the target molecule can be removed and only the peptides bound to the target molecule can be recovered, thereby selectively enriching peptides having binding activity to the target molecule (panning method). If the peptide library used is a nucleic acid display library, the recovered peptides are bound to nucleic acids encoding their genetic information, so by isolating and analyzing them, the nucleic acid sequence and amino acid sequence encoding the recovered peptides can be easily identified. Furthermore, based on the obtained nucleic acid sequence or amino acid sequence, the identified peptides can be individually manufactured using chemical synthesis or genetic engineering techniques.
[0190] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a nucleic acid-peptide complex comprising a peptide and a nucleic acid encoding the peptide, the complex having the following characteristics: (i) The nucleic acid sequence encoding the peptide contains two codons, M1M2A and M1M2G, (ii) In the amino acid sequence of the peptide, the types of amino acids or amino acid analogs corresponding to the M1M2A codon and the types of amino acids or amino acid analogs corresponding to the M1M2G codon are different from each other. Here, M1 and M2 represent the first and second characters of a particular codon, respectively (except for codons where M1 is A and M2 is U).
[0191] In a further aspect, the present disclosure provides a nucleic acid-peptide complex comprising a peptide and a nucleic acid encoding the peptide, the complex having the following characteristics: (i) The nucleic acid sequence encoding the peptide contains three codons: M1M2U, M1M2A, and M1M2G, (ii) In the amino acid sequence of the peptide, the types of amino acids or amino acid analogs corresponding to the M1M2U codon, the M1M2A codon, and the M1M2G codon are all different from each other. Here, M1 and M2 represent the first and second characters of a particular codon, respectively.
[0192] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a nucleic acid-peptide complex comprising a peptide and a nucleic acid encoding the peptide, the complex having the following characteristics: (i) The nucleic acid sequence encoding the peptide contains three codons: M1M2C, M1M2A, and M1M2G, (ii) In the amino acid sequence of the peptide, the types of amino acids or amino acid analogs corresponding to the M1M2C codon, the amino acids or amino acid analogs corresponding to the M1M2A codon, and the amino acids or amino acid analogs corresponding to the M1M2G codon are all different from each other. Here, M1 and M2 represent the first and second characters of a particular codon, respectively.
[0193] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid-peptide complex described above can be included therein as one of the elements constituting a peptide library (particularly a nucleic acid display library). In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a library (a peptide library or a nucleic acid display library) containing the nucleic acid-peptide complex in the present disclosure. In certain embodiments, the above-described nucleic acid-peptide complex and library can be prepared using the tRNA in the present disclosure or the translation system in the present disclosure.

[0258] Example 3. Synthesis of a peptide (LCT-67) with BdpFL at the N-terminus for use as a standard for LC / MS. [ka]
[0259] Using 100 mg of 2-chloromethylresin supported with Fmoc-Gly-OH, peptide elongation was performed in a peptide synthesizer using Fmoc-Gly-OH, Fmoc-Thr(THP)-OH(aa01), Fmoc-Ile-OH, Fmoc-Leu-OH, Fmoc-Phe-OH, Fmoc-MePhe-OH, and Fmoc-Pro-OH synthesized by the method described in Patent Document (WO2018225864) as Fmoc amino acids (abbreviations for amino acids are described separately in this specification). Peptide elongation was performed according to the peptide synthesis method using the Fmoc method (WO2013100132B2). After peptide elongation, the N-terminal Fmoc group was removed on the peptide synthesizer, and then the resin was washed with DCM. TFE / DCM (1:1, v / v, 2 mL) was added to the resin and shaken for 1 hour to excis the peptide from the resin. After the reaction was complete, the resin was removed by filtering the solution in the tube through a synthesis column, and the resin was washed twice with TFE / DCM (1:1, v / v, 1 mL). All extracts were mixed, DMF (2 mL) was added, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in NMP (1 mL), and 4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-propionic acid N-succinimidyl ester (5 mg, 0.013 mmol) was added at room temperature. After stirring for 19 hours, the reaction mixture was passed through reverse-phase silica gel column chromatography (0.1% FA MeCN / H2O), and the fraction containing the intermediate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in 5% TFA in DCM (2 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After concentrating the reaction mixture under reduced pressure, the resulting residue was purified by reverse-phase silica gel column chromatography (0.1% FA MeCN / H2O) to obtain the title compound (LCT-67) (13 mg). The amino acid sequence of LCT-67 is shown in SEQ ID NO: 223. LCMS(ESI) m / z = 1751.2(MH)- Retention time: 0.97 minutes (Analysis conditions SQDFA05_02)

After the reaction was complete, the resin was removed by filtering the solution in the tube through a synthesis column, and the resin was washed twice with TFE / DCM (1:1, v / v, 1 mL). All extracts were mixed, DMF (2 mL) was added, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in NMP (0.5 mL), and 1 / 4 (125 μL) of it was used for the next reaction. BdpFL succinimide ester (140 μL), prepared to 76.5 mM, was added to the peptide NMP solution at room temperature, stirred overnight at 40°C, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in 0.05 M tetramethylammonium bisulfate in HFIP (1.2 mL, 0.060 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was purified by reverse-phase silica gel column chromatography (0.1% FA MeCN / H2O) to obtain the title compound (LCT-12) (0.3 mg). The amino acid sequence of LCT-12 is shown in Sequence ID No. 222. LCMS(ESI) m / z = 1972.9 (MH)- Retention time: 0.74 minutes (Analysis conditions SQDFA05_01)

[0268] Preparation of initiator aminoacyl-tRNA using aminoacyl pCpA A reaction solution was prepared by making up with nuclease-free water to obtain 25 μM transcribed tRNA (fMet)cau-CA (SEQ ID NO: 62 (TR-25)), 50 mM HEPES-KOH pH 7.5, 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM ATP, 0.6 units / μl T4 RNA ligase (New England Bio Lab.), and 0.25 mM aminoacylated pCpA (MT01 in DMSO solution). The ligation reaction was carried out at 15°C for 45 minutes. However, the reaction solution before adding the T4 RNA ligase and aminoacylated pCpA was heated at 95°C for 2 minutes and then left at room temperature for 5 minutes to pre-fold the tRNA. Sodium acetate was added to the ligation reaction solution to a concentration of 0.3 M, and the mixture was extracted with phenol-chloroform. The initiator aminoacyl-tRNA (compound AAtR-25) was recovered by ethanol precipitation. The initiator aminoacylated tRNA was dissolved in 1 mM sodium acetate immediately before being added to the translation mixture.

[0352] Example 6. Translation and synthesis of peptides Next, we conducted an experiment to confirm the differentiation of three different amino acids within a single codon box, given the presence of three types of aminoacylated tRNAs. Specifically, we translated template mRNAs (template mRNAs SEQ ID NOs: 134 (mR-1) to 162 (mR-29), and 219 (mR-42) to 221 (mR-44)) containing one of the three codons within the same codon box, while the rest of the sequence was identical, using an aminoacylated tRNA mixture to synthesize peptide compounds. In certain codon boxes, we were able to differentiate between wobble codons and simultaneously differentiate another codon. We tested two different amino acid combinations, and under both conditions, it was shown that differentiation of three amino acids within a single codon box was possible in certain codon boxes.
