Random DNA fragmentation with endonuclease V: application to DNA shuffling.
The enzyme endonuclease V nicks uracil-containing DNA at the second or third phosphodiester bond 3' to uracil sites. I applied the enzyme to random fragmentation of DNA to revise the complex DNA shuffling protocol. The merit of using endonuclease V is that cleavage occurs at random sites and the length of the fragments can easily be adjusted by varying the concentration of dUTP in the polymeras...
متن کاملDNA shuffling by random fragmentation and reassembly: in vitro recombination for molecular evolution.
Computer simulations of the evolution of linear sequences have demonstrated the importance of recombination of blocks of sequence rather than point mutagenesis alone. Repeated cycles of point mutagenesis, recombination, and selection should allow in vitro molecular evolution of complex sequences, such as proteins. A method for the reassembly of genes from their random DNA fragments, resulting i...
متن کامل[Letter to the Editor] DNA Fragmentation Is Not Associated with Apoptosis in Zerumbone-induced HepG2 Cells
Zerumbone is a cytotoxic compound isolated from the herbal plant, Zingiber zerumbet Smith, which exhibits antitumor activity [1-2], anti-inflammatory effects and possesses anti-proliferative potentials in a variety of cell lines [3-4]. DNA fragmentation indicates an early event of apoptosis leading to cell death due to the absence of new cellular proteins synthesizing for cell survival. Previou...
متن کاملDiversity of Endonuclease V: From DNA Repair to RNA Editing
Deamination of adenine occurs in DNA, RNA, and their precursors via a hydrolytic reaction and a nitrosative reaction. The generated deaminated products are potentially mutagenic because of their structural similarity to natural bases, which in turn leads to erroneous nucleotide pairing and subsequent disruption of cellular metabolism. Incorporation of deaminated precursors into the nucleic acid...
متن کاملFamily shuffling with single-stranded DNA.
1. Introduction Family shuffling, which generates chimeric progeny genes by recombining a set of naturally occurring homologous genes, is an extremely powerful approach for in vitro protein evolution. In comparison with other in vitro protein evolution methods, family shuffling has the advantage of sampling a larger portion of the sequence space that has been proven functionally rich by nature....
