Stabilization of a prokaryotic LAT transporter by random mutagenesis
The knowledge of three-dimensional structures at atomic resolution of membrane transport proteins has improved considerably our understanding of their physiological roles and pathological implications. However, most structural biology techniques require an optimal candidate within a protein family for structural determination with (a) reasonable production in heterologous hosts and (b) good sta...
متن کاملRandom mutagenesis of the prokaryotic peptide transporter YdgR identifies potential periplasmic gating residues.
The peptide transporter (PTR) family represents a group of proton-coupled secondary transporters responsible for bulk uptake of amino acids in the form of di- and tripeptides, an essential process employed across species ranging from bacteria to humans. To identify amino acids critical for peptide transport in a prokaryotic PTR member, we have screened a library of mutants of the Escherichia co...
متن کاملEnhanced stabilization of a stable single domain antibody for SEB toxin by random mutagenesis and stringent selection.
Single domain antibodies, recombinant variable heavy domains derived from the unique heavy-chain only antibodies found in camelids and sharks, are exceptionally rugged due to their ability to refold following heat or chemical denaturation. In addition, a number of single domain antibodies have been found to possess high melting points which provide an even greater degree of stability; one of th...
متن کاملLocalization of a protein-DNA interface by random mutagenesis.
The type I restriction and modification enzymes do not possess obvious DNA-binding motifs within their target recognition domains (TRDs) of 150-180 amino acids. To identify residues involved in DNA recognition, changes were made in the amino-TRD of EcoKI by random mutagenesis. Most of the 101 substitutions affecting 79 residues had no effect on the phenotype. Changes at only seven positions cau...
متن کاملRandom mutagenesis by whole-plasmid PCR amplification.
Random mutagenesis has become a powerful means of studying the effects of a large number of permutations of a particular DNA sequence. As a prime example, libraries of randomized cDNA clones, when translated into their corresponding proteins, can be useful in investigating the functional contributions of a mutagenized region to the overall properties of a protein. Existing molecular cloning tec...
