Conditional mutagenesis using site-specific recombination in Plasmodium berghei.
Reverse genetics in Plasmodium, the genus of parasites that cause malaria, still faces major limitations. Only red blood cell stages of this haploid parasite can be transfected. Consequently, the function of many essential genes in these and subsequent stages, including those encoding vaccine candidates, cannot be addressed genetically. Here, we establish conditional mutagenesis in Plasmodium b...
متن کاملRapid and Programmable Protein Mutagenesis Using Plasmid Recombineering.
Comprehensive and programmable protein mutagenesis is critical for understanding structure-function relationships and improving protein function. There is thus a need for robust and unbiased molecular biological approaches for the construction of the requisite comprehensive protein libraries. Here we demonstrate that plasmid recombineering is a simple and robust in vivo method for the generatio...
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 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...
متن کاملIncorporation of a lambda phage recombination system and EGFP detection to simplify mutagenesis of Herpes simplex virus bacterial artificial chromosomes
BACKGROUND Targeted mutagenesis of the herpesvirus genomes has been facilitated by the use of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) technology. Such modified genomes have potential uses in understanding viral pathogenesis, gene identification and characterization, and the development of new viral vectors and vaccines. We have previously described the construction of a herpes simplex virus 2 (HS...
