Abstract
The present work reports a new route to prepare a "smart biomaterial" by mimicking long-acting cellular growth factor showing enhanced cell-material interactions by promoting cell proliferation and angiogenesis. For that, reactive non-proteogenic amino acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) was genetically introduced into an intrinsic triple-helical hierarchical structure forming protein to initiate hierarchical self-assembly to form a macromolecular structure. The self-assembled scaffold displayed vascular endothelial growth factor mimicking the pro-angiogenic reactive group for repairing and remodeling of damaged tissue cells. We customized the recombinant collagen-like protein (CLP) with DOPA to promote rapid wound healing and cell migrations. Selective incorporation of catechol in variable and C-terminal region of CLP enhanced interaction between inter- and intra-triple-helical collagen molecules that resulted in a structure resembling higher-order native collagen fibril. Turbidity analysis indicated that the triple-helical CLP self-assembled at neutral pH via a catechol intra-crosslinking mechanism. After self-assembly, only DOPA-encoded CLP formed branched filamentous structures suggesting that catechol mediated network coordination. The catechol-encoded CLP also acted as a "smart material" by mimicking long-acting cellular growth factor showing enhanced cell-material interactions by promoting cell proliferation and angiogenesis. It eliminates release rate, stability, and shelf-life of hybrid growth factor conjugated biomaterials. The newly synthesized CLP has the potential to promote accelerated cell migration, pro-angiogenesis, and biocompatibility and could be used in the field of implantable medical devices and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) have great potential as bioglues, particularly in wet conditions. Although in vivo residue-specific incorporation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa) in tyrosine-auxotrophic Escherichia coli cells allows for production of Dopa-incorporated bioengineered MAPs (dMAPs), the low production yield hinders the practical application of dMAPs. This low production yield of dMAPs is due to low translational activity of a noncanonical amino acid, Dopa, in E. coli cells. Herein, to enhance the production yield of dMAPs, we investigated the coexpression of Dopa-recognizing tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases (TyrRSs). To use the Dopa-specific Methanococcus jannaschii TyrRS (MjTyrRS-Dopa), we altered the anticodon of tyrosyl-tRNA amber suppressor into AUA (MjtRNATyr AUA ) to recognize a tyrosine codon (AUA). Co-overexpression of MjTyrRS-Dopa and MjtRNATyr AUA increased the production yield of Dopa-incorporated MAP foot protein type 3 (dfp-3) by 57%. Similarly, overexpression of E. coli TyrRS (EcTyrRS) led to a 72% higher production yield of dfp-3. Even with coexpression of Dopa-recognizing TyrRSs, dfp-3 has a high Dopa incorporation yield (over 90%) compared to ones prepared without TyrRS coexpression.

Abstract
Since higher plants regularly release organic compounds into the environment, their decay products are often added to the soil matrix and a few have been reported as agents of plant-plant interactions. These compounds, active against higher plants, typically suppress seed germination, cause injury to root growth and other meristems, and inhibit seedling growth. Mucuna pruriens is an example of a successful cover crop with several highly active secondary chemical agents that are produced by its seeds, leaves and roots. The main phytotoxic compound encountered is the non-protein amino acid L-DOPA, which is used in treating the symptoms of Parkinson disease. In plants, L-DOPA is a precursor of many alkaloids, catecholamines, and melanin and is released from Mucuna into soils, inhibiting the growth of nearby plant species. This mini-review summarizes knowledge regarding L-DOPA in plants, providing a brief overview about its metabolic actions.

Abstract
Levodopa (L-dopa) is the most widely used agent for the symptomatic relief of Parkinson's disease. There is concern that chronic L-dopa treatment may be detrimental, with some studies suggesting that L-dopa may be neurotoxic. A potentially important mechanism whereby L-dopa may exert neurotoxic effects has been overlooked: that of the incorporation of L-dopa into proteins by protein synthesis. L-Dopa competes with tyrosine as a substrate in protein synthesis in vitro. We provide evidence that L-dopa can also be incorporated into proteins in vivo. Blood from L-dopa-treated and -non-treated patients was separated into protein, erythrocyte and lymphocyte fractions and levels of protein-incorporated dopa quantified by HPLC. Levels of protein-incorporated dopa were significantly increased in lymphocyte cell proteins from L-dopa-treated patients. This has not arisen from oxidative pathways as there was no evidence of oxidative damage to proteins. In addition, there was no increase in protein-incorporated dopa in erythrocytes, which are not actively synthesizing proteins. We suggest that protein-incorporated dopa could also be generated in the CNS. The accumulation of protein-incorporated dopa in cells is associated with oxidative stress and impaired function and could contribute to some of the problems associated with long-term L-dopa treatment.

Abstract
An Escherichia coli cell-free transcription/translation system was used to explore the high-level incorporation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) into proteins by replacing tyrosine with DOPA in the reaction mixtures. ESI-MS showed specific incorporation of DOPA in place of tyrosine. More than 90% DOPA incorporation at each tyrosine site was achieved, allowing the recording of clean 15N-HSQC NMR spectra. A redox-staining method specific for DOPA was shown to provide a sensitive and generally applicable method for assessing the cell-free production of proteins. Of four proteins produced in soluble form in the presence of tyrosine, two resulted in insoluble aggregates in the presence of high levels of DOPA. DOPA has been found in human proteins, often in association with various disease states that implicate protein aggregation and/or misfolding. Our results suggest that misfolded and aggregated proteins may result, in principle, from ribosome-mediated misincorporation of intracellular DOPA accumulated due to oxidative stress. High-yield cell-free protein expression systems are uniquely suited to obtain rapid information on solubility and aggregation of nascent polypeptide chains.
