One-step random mutagenesis by error-prone rolling circle amplification.
In vitro random mutagenesis is a powerful tool for altering properties of enzymes. We describe here a novel random mutagenesis method using rolling circle amplification, named error-prone RCA. This method consists of only one DNA amplification step followed by transformation of the host strain, without treatment with any restriction enzymes or DNA ligases, and results in a randomly mutated plas...
متن کاملProbing beta-lactamase structure and function using random replacement mutagenesis.
A new analytical mutagenesis technique is described that involves randomizing the DNA sequence of a short stretch of a gene (3-6 codons) and determining the percentage of all possible random sequences that produce a functional protein. A low percentage of functional random sequences in a complete library of random substitutions indicates that the region mutagenized is important for the structur...
متن کاملA general model of error-prone PCR.
In this paper, we generalize a previously-described model of the error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reaction to conditions of arbitrarily variable amplification efficiency and initial population size. Generalisation of the model to these conditions improves the correspondence to observed and expected behaviours of PCR, and restricts the extent to which the model may explore sequence sp...
متن کاملCreating random mutagenesis libraries using megaprimer PCR of whole plasmid.
The conventional method for cloning a DNA fragment is to insert it into a vector and ligate it. Although this method is commonly used, it is labor intensive because the ratio and concentrations of the DNA insert and the vector need optimizing. Even then, the resultant library is often plagued with unwanted plasmids that have no inserts or multiple inserts. These species have to be eradicated to...
متن کاملPCR-based random mutagenesis using manganese and reduced dNTP concentration.
Procedures to introduce point mutations into specific DNA fragments are important tools to study gene function (2,10). UV light and chemical mutagens have been used in vivo to increase the frequency of random mutagenesis for specific DNA targets carried on plasmid or phage vectors being propagated in growing cells (2,11). Both methods induced mutations in the target DNA as well as in vector and...
