Recently, Si et al. reported their attempts on generating live, while replication-incompetent influenza virus vaccine1 as an alternative to inactivated and attenuated virus vaccine. The goal is to make use of the full infectivity of live whole-viron vaccine to elicit protective immunity while remaining as avirulent as possible. In this report, the authors explored the application of the site-specific incorporation of unnatural amino acid approach2, 3 as a conditional knockout tool. In this method, a pair of tRNA-tRNA synthetase using one of the stop codons to encode for an unnatural amino acid of interest was used. This tRNA-tRNA synthetase pair is orthogonal to all of the other tRNA-tRNA synthetase pairs in the host cell to ensure the site-specific incorporation of the unnatural amino acid of interest (Fig. 1). One of the concerns is that the pre-matural stop codon used for encoding the unnatural amino acid might also be the natural stop codon for some of the host genes. As a result, introducing such tRNA-tRNA synthetase pair and the supplementation of the corresponding unnatural amino acid might impair the functions of the host cell itself. To select a proper cell line for viral packaging, the author integrated the Methanosarcinabarkeri MS pyrolysyl tRNA synthetase/tRNACUA pair, and an amber suppressor codon containing green fluorescent protein gene into the Human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cell genome. After 200 generations of passage by selecting the unnatural amino acid dependent GFP production, the authors obtained a cell line that can mediate influenza A/WSN/33 (H1N1: WSN) viral packaging in an efficiency as good as in the parental cells.The authors then introduced the premature termination codon (PTC) to various positions of the influenza viral genes, including NP, PB1, HA, NA, NS, PA, PB2, M1, and M2. The majority of these PTC viruses show cytopathic effect in the presence of 1 mM of unnatural amino acid in the Methanosarcinabarkeri MS pyrolysyl tRNA synthetase/tRNACUA pair containing transgenic cell line, not the conventional cell line. In some of the positions, PTC substitution has little effect on virus packaging efficiency and replication kinetics relative to the wild type virus. There is indeed a low level of escape frequency (7× 10-10 to 5.9× 10-7), which might be attributed to reversion of the amber codon to the sense
