Methodology is described for the synthesis and chemical aminoacylation of the hybrid dinucleotide 5''-phospho-2''deoxyribocytidylyriboadenosine (pdCpA). Ligation of aminoacylated pdCpA to a truncated amber suppressor tRNACUA (-CA) using T4 RNA ligase generates an aminoacylated suppressor tRNA which can be used for the site-specific incorporation of unnatural amino amino acids into proteins. Both the ligation and in vitro suppression effeciencies are the same when either pCpA or pdCpA is used. The use of deoxycytidine simplifies the chemistry involved in the synthesis of the dinucleotide pCpA. In addition, theses results demonstrate that ribocytidine is not required for recognition of the aminoacylated tRNA during protein synthesis.
