Zufällige Mutagenese über fehleranfällige PCR ist ein leistungsfähiges Werkzeug zur Erzeugung von einem vielfältigen Pool von Mutanten in einer bestimmten Region. Diese Technik eignet sich besonders für Studien, die versuchen, die Funktion eines Proteins unter bestimmten Umständen zu beurteilen. Zum Beispiel verwendeten wir hierin fehleranfällige PCR, um die Funktion der 19 s-Proteasom Untereinheit, Rpt4, im Heterochromatin Wartung zu beurteilen. Durch Variation die Region gezielt durch die fehleranfällige PCR u...

Nach vorne Genetik ist eine klassische Methode, in der Forscher suchen natürlich vorkommende Mutanten, die einen bestimmten Phänotyp anzeigen und genetische Analysen durchführen. In reverse Genetik Mutationen in einem gen des Interesses eingebracht werden und der Phänotyp wird untersucht. Im letzteren Fall wird zufällige Mutagenese eines Ziel-Gens häufig verwendet, um einen Pool von Mutanten zu generieren, die anschließend zum gewünschten Phänotypen, wie z. B. die Temperaturempfindlichkeit ausgewählt oder enzymatische Aktivität verändert. Verschiedene Methoden können verwendet werden, um zufällige Mutagenese, inklusive fehleranfällige PCR1zu erreichen; UV-Bestrahlung-2; chemische Mutagene wie Ethyl Methanesulfonate (EMS) oder Salpetrige Säure3; die Verwendung von temporären Mutator Stämme, wie Sie zum Ausdruck zu bringen mutD5 4; und DNA Schlurfen5.
Hier beschreiben wir eine Reverse-Genetik-Strategie, in der wir fehleranfällige PCR um mutierte Pools für ein Target-gen in der Spalthefe erzeugen nutzen. Wie man aus seinem Namen vorstellen kann, erzeugt diese Methode Mutationen durch die Einführung von absichtlich Fehler während der PCR. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Methoden der Mutagenese ermöglicht fehleranfällige PCR dem Benutzer, die Region um mutagenisierter werden zu definieren. Dies macht es besonders geeignet bei den Bemühungen um die Funktion einer Protein/Domäne von Interesse zu untersuchen.
Um dieses zufällige Mutagenese-Verfahren zu demonstrieren, verwenden wir hierin rpt4 +, die die 19 s Proteasom Untereinheit kodiert, als Beispiel. Rpt4 hat gezeigt, dass Proteolyse-unabhängige Funktionen in anderen Organismen als Kernspaltung Hefe6,7,8,9haben, und ein Defekt in der Proteolyse bewirken indirekte Effekte durch die Veränderung von Proteinen Ebenen. Wir daher geschirmt für Mutanten, die Proteolyse-unabhängige Veränderungen, mit dem Ziel der Erforschung der Funktion des Proteasoms auf Heterochromatin ausgelöst.
Fehleranfällige PCR kann in jeder beliebigen Region gen angewendet werden, durch den Standort, an dem die Primer binden-tuning. Durch Mutation entstehende Variationen, die die gewünschte phänotypische Veränderung aufweisen können mit entsprechenden Reportern identifiziert werden. Hier, wir nahmen einen ade6 + Reporter eingefügt in das Zentromer 1 äußere wiederholen (Otr) Region10. Konstitutive Heterochromatin ist in dieser Region11, gebildet, so dass die ade6 + Reporter in der Wildtyp Bedingung zum Schweigen gebracht wird; Dies wird durch rote Kolonien10angezeigt. Eine Mutation, die das konstitutive Heterochromatin an das Zentromer destabilisiert führt auf den Ausdruck ade6 + Reporter, die als weiße Kolonien visualisiert wird.

gene-targeted random mutagenesis to select heterochromatin-destabilizing proteasome mutants in fission yeast

Zufällige Mutagenese eines Ziel-Gens wird häufig verwendet, um Mutationen zu identifizieren, die zu den gewünschten Phänotyp führen. Die Methoden, die verwendet werden, um zufällige Mutagenese zu erreichen, fehleranfällige PCR ist eine komfortable und effiziente Strategie für die Erzeugung von einem vielfältigen Pool von Mutanten (i.e., einer mutierten Bibliothek). Fehleranfällige PCR ist die Methode der Wahl, wenn ein Forscher versucht, eine vordefinierten Region, wie der kodierenden Region eines Gens und ohne Auswirkung auf andere genomischen Regionen zu mutieren. Nachdem die mutierte Bibliothek durch fehleranfällige PCR verstärkt wird, muss es in einem geeigneten Plasmid geklont werden. Die Größe der Bibliothek generiert durch fehleranfällige PCR ist von der Leistungsfähigkeit des Klonens Schritt eingeschränkt. Jedoch kann der Klonen Schritt in der Spalthefe Schizosaccharomyces Pombe, durch den Einsatz einer hocheffizienten einstufige Fusion PCR Konstrukte für die Transformation zu generieren ersetzt werden.

Random mutagenesis of a target gene is commonly used to identify mutations that yield the desired phenotype. Of the methods that may be used to achieve ...

The overall goal of this random mutagenesis is to screen for mutations that destabilize heterochromatin. This method can help answer key questions in the heterochromatin field, such as factors that regulate the formation and maintenance of heterochromatin. The main advantage of this technique is that it can specifically target a desired gene for mutagenesis, even if the gene is essential.To begin, prepare yeast extract with supplements, or YES, without adenine, Pombe Glutamate Medium, or PMG, and PMG without adenine, by mixing the components as shown in this table. After autoclaving and adding G418 if necessary, stir the medium for another five to ten minutes. Then, aliquot the media into 90 milliliter Petri dishes and store the plates at four degrees Celsius.Using the cloned rpt4 positive, with its five prime and three prime UTRs and silent mutation, as well as primers p5 and p6 and a special polymerase, designed to generate a high error rate, perform error-prone PCR in a total volume of 50 microliters. After generating a transformation-fusion construct, according to the text protocol, inoculate ten milliliters of YES medium with yeast, and incubate it for more than 16 hours to saturation. Use 200 milliliters of YES medium to dilute the cells to an OD600 of 0.2, and incubate the culture at 30 degrees Celsius with shaking for five to six hours to an OD600 of 0.6 to 0.8.Calculate the volume of cells that add up to OD600 of 30. Then, dispense the cells into four 50 milliliter conical tubes and chill them on ice for 10 minutes. Harvest the cells by centrifugation at 1050 G and four degrees Celsius for three minutes.Then, place the microfuge tubes with cassette DNA and 10 electro cuvettes on ice. While still on ice, discard the supernatant and add 15 milliliters of 1.2-molar sorbitol, gently shake the tubes to re-suspend the cells, then centrifuge the cells at 1050 G and four degrees Celsius for three minutes. Discard the supernatant and perform a second sorbitol wash.After centrifugation, discard the supernatant. Then, re-suspend the cells and collect them all in one 15-milliliter conical tube. Next, add 1.2 molar sorbitol up to 2.4 milliliters.Keep the tube of cells on ice. Then, add 200 microliters of sorbitol-suspended cells to a tube containing the fusion PCR construct, mix well, and transfer the sample to an electro cuvette. It is important not to use an excess amount of PCR cassette, as it will give discharge errors.Electroporate the cells using the following options:add 600 microliters of 1.2-molar sorbitol to each electro cuvette for a total volume of 800 microliters. Then, spread the cells onto four YES plates. Incubate the plates at 30 degrees Celsius for 24 hours.Then, perform replica plating on YES plus G418 before incubating the plates for an additional three days. For each YES plus G418 plate, perform replica plating to YES without adenine and PMG without adenine plates. Incubate the replica plates at 30 degrees Celsius for one to two days until some of the colonies on the YES without adenine plates show a white coloration.Compare YES without adenine and PMG without adenine plates and select cells that show pink or white on the YES without adenine plate, and also grow on the PMG without adenine plate. Do not select colonies without growth on PMG without adenine, as they are false positives. Pick each colony and add it to 10 microliters of SPZ solution containing 2.5 milligrams per milliliter of zymolyase 100T.Then, incubate the colonies at 37 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes. Following the incubation, use one microliter of this solution as the starting template for colony PCR. After digesting selected colonies and carrying out gel electrophoresis according to the text protocol, mark the colonies whose PCR products were cut by XHO1 and patch them to YES plus G418 plates.Following the isolation of gDNA from fission yeast cells, and sequencing of the PCR products according to the text protocol, compare the obtained sequence with the wild-type sequence to identify mutations. Once the mutations are re-introduced into wild-type cells, use spotting to confirm the phenotype in the newly-made mutant cells. The rpt4 mutants generated using the protocol demonstrated in this video can be analyzed by assessing the colors of the colonies.As shown in this figure, the colonies were spotted onto the relevant plates in decreasing cell number. The adenine reporter inserted in the heterochromatin region is silenced in wild-type cells and produces red colonies on YES without adenine plates. Once the heterochromatin is destabilized and the adenine reporter is expressed, white colonies can be observed on the YES without adenine plates as seen with the clr4-delta mutant.The screened rpt4 mutants are as shown with the rpt4-1 mutant exhibiting the most severe heterochromatin destabilization. Once mastered, this technique can be done in two weeks to get the desired mutants. While attempting this procedure, it's important to eliminate the false positives as they are more frequent than expected.Following this procedure, other methods like protein purification and enzyme activity tests can be performed in order to answer additional questions, like the nature of the proteins. After watching this video, you should have a good understanding of how to generate mutants in a target gene with the desired phenotype.
