Breaking codon degeneracy for the introduction of non-canonical amino acids offers many opportunities in synthetic biology. Yet, despite the existence of 64 codons, the code has only been expanded to 25 amino acids in vitro. A limiting factor could be the over-reliance on synthetic tRNAs which lack the post-transcriptional modifications that improve translational fidelity. To determine whether modified, wild-type tRNA could improve sense codon reassignment, we developed a new fluorous method for tRNA capture and applied it to the isolation of roughly half of the Escherichia coli tRNA isoacceptors. We then performed codon competition experiments between the five captured wild-type leucyl-tRNAs and their synthetic counterparts, revealing a strong preference for wild-type tRNA in an in vitro translation system. Finally, we compared the ability of wild-type and synthetic leucyl-tRNA to break the degeneracy of the leucine codon box, showing that only captured wild-type tRNAs are discriminated with enough fidelity to accurately split the leucine codon box for the encoding of three separate amino acids. Wild-type tRNAs are therefore enabling reagents for maximizing the reassignment potential of the genetic code.
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic disorder characterized by eosinophil-predominant esophageal inflammation, which can be ameliorated by food antigen restriction. Though recent studies suggest that changes in dietary composition may alter the distal gut microbiome, little is currently known about the impact of a restricted diet upon microbial communities of the oral and esophageal microenvironments in the context of EoE. We hypothesize that the oral and esophageal microbiomes of EoE patients are distinct from non-EoE controls, that these differences correspond to changes in esophageal inflammation, and that targeted therapeutic dietary intervention may influence community structure. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we characterized the bacterial composition of the oral and esophageal microenvironments using oral swabs and esophageal biopsies from 35 non-EoE pediatric controls and compared this cohort to samples from 33 pediatric EoE subjects studied in a longitudinal fashion before and after defined dietary changes.
