Evolution of orthogonal special ribosomes. (A) Early orthogonal specialised ribosomes were generated by random mutagenesis in the RNA-binding sequences (RBS) on mRNA and its complementary message-binding sequence (MBS) on rRNA in E. coli [134]. Orthologue ribosomes have been further evolved to increase the in vivo efficiency of unnatural amino acid incorporation (ribo-X [139]) and enable efficient incorporation of amber and quadruplet codons (ribo-Q1 [141,142].(B) The engineering of the fully orthogonal ribosomes became possible with the advent of the ribosome covalently linked through an optimised RNA staple (O-stapled ribosomes [147,148]) or tethered ribosomal subunits with RNA linker (Ribo-T/Ribo-T v2 [146–149];.
