Methanomethylophilus alvus Mx1201 provides basis for mutual orthogonal pyrrolysyl tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pairs in mammalian cells

The paper identifies a new pyrrolysyl tRNA/aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair from M. alvus Mx1201 that is orthogonal to Mma PylRS/PylT in mammalian cells, enabling site-specific ncAA incorporation via distinct stop codons.
