枯草杆菌蛋白酶E基因多位点定点突变库的构建及其筛选

利用化学合成的15个寡聚核苷酸片段作为诱变引物,同时对枯草杆菌蛋白酶E(Subtilisin E或Apr E)基因进行体外突变,获得了合全部突变位点各种随机组合突变的突变库,通过点杂交法和DNA序列分析肯定了该突变库的可靠性.从突变库中选择一单点突变(Met222Ala)和3点突变(Asn76Asp/Asn109Ser/Ile205Cys)的基因进行克隆、表达和产物的酶学性质研究,发现其抗氧化性和热稳定性分别比野生型的有显著提高,与文献报道的一致.表明了该突变库在枯草杆菌蛋白酶工程研究中的应用价值.     

Construction and screening of a multi-point site- specific mutant library of subtilisin E with a set of oligonucleotides

A mutant library of subtilisin E containing random combinations of various mutagenized sites wasconstructed by one-round mutagenesis with 15 mutagenic oligonucleotides. Mutants were screened through dot blot hybridization and DNA sequencing. A single-point mutant (Met 222Ala) and a three-point (Asn 76Asp/Asnl09Ser/ I le 205/Cys) mutant gene from the library were expressed. The mutant proteins exhibited conspicuously improved resistance to oxidation and heat treatment, as reported before. The results show that the library is reliable and very useful for protease subtilisin E engineering.
