Molecular engineering of a PheS counterselection marker for improved operating efficiency in Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase, a-subunit (ePheS) can be useful as a counterselection marker since its A294G variant misincorporates 4-chloro-phenylalanine (4CP) into cellular proteins during translation, thereby causing cell death. The drawback of this method is that selection must b...
