PERSPECTIVE Directed Evolution of Novel Protein Functions
Directed evolution has been successfully used to engineer proteins for basic and applied biological research. However, engineering of novel protein functions by directed evolution remains an overwhelming challenge. This challenge may come from the fact that multiple simultaneously or synergistic mutations are required for the creation of a novel protein function. Here we review the key developm...
متن کاملLaboratory-directed protein evolution.
Systematic approaches to directed evolution of proteins have been documented since the 1970s. The ability to recruit new protein functions arises from the considerable substrate ambiguity of many proteins. The substrate ambiguity of a protein can be interpreted as the evolutionary potential that allows a protein to acquire new specificities through mutation or to regain function via mutations t...
متن کاملLinking the functions of unrelated proteins using a novel directed evolution domain insertion method
We have successfully developed a new directed evolution method for generating integral protein fusions comprising of one domain inserted within another. Creating two connections between the insert and accepting parent domain can result in the inter-dependence of the separate protein activities, thus providing a general strategy for constructing molecular switches. Using an engineered transposon...

متن کاملProtein folds, functions and evolution.
The evolution of proteins and their functions is reviewed from a structural perspective in the light of the current database. Protein domain families segregate unequally between the three major classes, the 32 different architectures and almost 700 folds observed to date. We find that the number of new topologies is still increasing, although 25 new structures are now determined for each new to...
