Generating anatomical variation through mutations in networks - implications for evolution.
Genetic mutation leads to anatomical variation only indirectly because many proteins involved in generating anatomical structures in embryos operate cooperatively within molecular networks. These include gene-regulatory or control networks (CNs) for timing, signaling and patterning together with the process networks (PNs) for proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation and morphogenesis that they...
متن کاملReprogramming homing endonuclease specificity through computational design and directed evolution
Homing endonucleases (HEs) can be used to induce targeted genome modification to reduce the fitness of pathogen vectors such as the malaria-transmitting Anopheles gambiae and to correct deleterious mutations in genetic diseases. We describe the creation of an extensive set of HE variants with novel DNA cleavage specificities using an integrated experimental and computational approach. Using com...
متن کاملGenerating segmental mutations in haloalkane dehalogenase: a novel part in the directed evolution toolbox.
Directed evolution techniques allow us to genuinely mimic molecular evolution in vitro. To enhance this imitation of natural evolutionary processes on a laboratory scale in even more detail, we developed an in vitro method for the generation of random deletions and repeats. The pairwise fusion of two fragments of the same gene that are truncated by exonuclease BAL-31 either at the 3' or 5' side...
متن کاملTransposon-based approaches for generating novel molecular diversity during directed evolution.
This chapter introduces a set of transposon-based methods that were developed to sample trinucleotide deletion, trinucleotide replacement, and domain insertion. Each approach has a common initial step that utilizes an engineered version of the Mu transposon called MuDel. The inherent low sequence specificity of MuDel results in its random insertion into target DNA during in vitro transposition....
متن کاملDesign by Directed Evolution
The stunning array of features and functions exhibited by proteins in nature should convince most scientists of the power of evolutionary design processes. Natural selection acting on populations over long periods of time has generated a vast number of proteins ideally suited to their biological functions. When we try to recruit these remarkable molecular machines for new taskssfrom serving as ...
