Mutagénese aleatória através de PCR propensa é uma ferramenta poderosa para gerar um pool diversificado de mutantes em uma determinada região. Esta técnica é especialmente útil para estudos que visam avaliar a função de uma proteína em uma circunstância específica. Por exemplo, usamos aqui PCR propensa para avaliar a função da subunidade de proteossomo 19S, Rpt4, em manutenção de heterocromatina. Variando a região alvo de PCR propensa e ajustando as condições de triagem, fomos capazes de transformar c...

Genética para a frente é um método clássico em que pesquisadores buscam naturalmente mutantes que exibem um fenótipo específico e realizar análises genéticas. Em genética reversa, mutações são introduzidas em um gene de interesse e o fenótipo é examinado. Neste último caso, mutagênese aleatória de um gene alvo muitas vezes é usado para gerar um grupo de mutantes que posteriormente são selecionados para desejado fenótipos, tais como a sensibilidade à temperatura ou alterado a atividade enzimática. Podem ser utilizados vários métodos para alcançar o mutagenesis aleatório, incluindo propenso a PCR1; De irradiação UV2; mutagênicos químicos, tais como Metanossulfonato de etila (EMS) ou ácido nitroso3; o uso de cepas de modificador temporário, tais como aqueles excesso expressando mutD5 4; e DNA baralhar5.
Aqui, descrevemos uma estratégia reverso-genética em que utilizamos PCR propensa para gerar piscinas mutantes para um gene alvo no fermento a fissão. Como se pode adivinhar seu nome, este método gera mutações deliberadamente introduzindo erros durante a PCR. Ao contrário de outros métodos de mutagénese, propenso a PCR permite ao usuário definir a região a ser mutagenized. Isto o torna particularmente útil nos esforços para estudar a função de um domínio/proteína de interesse.
Para demonstrar este procedimento de mutagênese aleatória, aqui usamos o rpt4 +, que codifica a subunidade de proteossomo 19S, como exemplo. Rpt4 tem sido demonstrado que têm funções independente de proteólise em organismos que não sejam fissão fermento6,7,8,9, e um defeito na proteólise pode causar efeitos indiretos, alterando as proteínas níveis. Nós, portanto, selecionados para mutantes que desencadeou mudanças de proteólise-independente, com o objetivo de investigar a função da Proteassoma em heterocromatina.
Propenso a PCR pode ser aplicado a qualquer região do gene ajustando o local em que as primeiras demão vincular. Mutantes que apresentam a mudança fenotípica desejada podem ser identificados com repórteres apropriados. Aqui, utilizamos um repórter ade6 + inserido no Centrómero 1 exterior repetição (otr) região10. Heterocromatina constitutiva é formada nesta região11, então o repórter ade6 + é silenciado na condição de tipo selvagem; Isto é indicado por colônias vermelho10. Uma mutação que desestabiliza a heterocromatina constitutiva no Centrómero conduzirá à expressão do repórter ade6 + , que é visualizada como colônias brancas.

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

Mutagénese aleatória de um gene alvo é comumente usado para identificar as mutações que produzem o fenótipo desejado. Dos métodos que podem ser usados para alcançar o mutagenesis aleatório, propenso a PCR é uma estratégia eficiente e conveniente para a geração de um pool diversificado de mutantes (i. e., uma biblioteca de mutante). Propenso a PCR é o método de escolha quando um pesquisador procura para transformar uma região pré-definidos, tais como a região da codificação de um gene, deixando outras regiões genômicas não afetado. Depois que a biblioteca mutante é amplificada por PCR propensa, isso deve ser clonado em um plasmídeo adequado. O tamanho da biblioteca gerada pelo PCR propensa é restringido pela eficiência da etapa de clonagem. No entanto, no fermento de fissão, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, passo a clonagem pode ser substituído pelo uso de uma fusão de uma etapa altamente eficiente do PCR para gerar construções para transformação. Mutantes de fenótipos desejados então podem ser selecionados usando repórteres apropriados. Aqui, descrevemos esta estratégia em detalhe, tomando como exemplo, um repórter inserido no heterocromatina centromérica.

Gene-targeted Random Mutagenesis to Select Heterochromatin-destabilizing Proteasome Mutants in Fission Yeast

Gene-alvo Mutagenesis aleatório para selecionar heterocromatina-desestabilizando Proteassoma mutantes no fermento de fissão

Este artigo descreve uma metodologia detalhada para o mutagenesis aleatório de um gene alvo no fermento de fissão. Como exemplo, temos como alvo rpt4 +, que codifica uma subunidade do proteossomo 19S e tela para as mutações que desestabilizam a heterocromatina.

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.
