In vitro evolution of thermostable p53 variants

The tumor suppressor p53 is conformationally unstable at physiological temperature. Even the activated p53delta30 variant, which lacks the self-inhibiting carboxy terminal domain, has a half-life of only 8 min at 37 degrees C in vitro. We have developed a genetic approach to identify p53 variants that stabilize the active conformation. The human p53delta30 gene was randomly mutated, and the resulting library was expressed in Escherichia coli under conditions that apparently denatured the parental protein. Stable p53 variants were identified based on their ability to specifically bind a p53 consensus site. The initial thermostable variants were randomly recombined by DNA shuffling, and substitutions that were functionally additive or synergistic were identified in a second more stringent round of screening. The DNA binding activity of N239Y/N268D/E336V p53delta30 variant has a half-life of 100 min at 37 degrees C, 12 times longer than that of the parental protein. The thermostable variants should be more amenable to crystallographic studies and more effective in gene therapies than the wild-type protein.

Molecular evolution of adomet synthetase by DNA recombination with a novel Separate-Mixing method

We describe a new approach to in vitro DNA recombination termed the Separate-Mixing method in this study. The reaction process of this method consists of two stages: at the first stage the reaction was implemented in two parallel teams, which generated random recombination by template-switching of growing poly-nucleotides from primers in the presence of unidirectional single-stranded DNA fragments used as templates, and then both teams were mixed together for further extension and recombination of DNA sequences at the second stage. Due to this particular strategy, the reaction process was also accompanied by two other processes of DNA shuffling and StEP simultaneously. Two AdoMet synthetase genes, sam2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and metK from Escherichia coli, which have only 56% homology on the DNA level, were used for recombination with the Separate-Mixing method. DNA recombination was available after a single round of reaction. When 10 randomly selected recombinants were sequenced, an unshuffled parental clone was not found, nor was unexpected insertion, deletion, or rearrangement detected. An evolved gene, sam’, was obtained after screening and selection, which could obviously increase the accumulation of AdoMet in S. cerevisiae.

Molecular breeding of genes, pathways and genomes by DNA shuffling

Existing methods for optimization of sequences by random mutagenesis generate libraries with a small number of mostly deleterious mutations, resulting in libraries containing a large fraction of non-functional clones that explore only a small part of squence space. Large numbers of clones need to be screened to find the rare mutants with improvements. Library display formats are useful to screen very large libraries but impose screening limitations that limit the value of this approach for most commercial applications. By contrast, in both classical breeding and in DNA shuffling, natural diversity is permutated by homologous recombination, generating libraries of very high quality, from which improved clones can be identified with a small number of complex screens. Given that this small number of screens can be performed under the conditions of actual use of the product, commercially relevant improvements can be reliably obtained.     

Fragmentation of acetate-CoA ligase gives a clue to understand domain rearrangement history of NDP-forming acyl-CoA synthetase superfamily proteins

ABSTRACT

NDP-forming type acyl-CoA synthetase superfamily proteins are known to have six essential subdomains (1, 2, 3, a, b, c) of which partition and order are varied, suggesting yet-to-be-defined subdomain rearrangement happened in its evolution. Comparison in physicochemical and biochemical characteristics between the recombinant proteins which we made from fragmented subdomains and wild-type protein, acetate-CoA ligase in a hyperthermophilic archaeon, consisting of two distinct subunits (α1-2-3 and βa-b-c) provided a clue to the mystery of its molecular evolutionary passage. Although solubility and thermostability of each fragmented subdomain turned out to be lower than that of wild-type, mixture of the three synthetic subunits of α1-2, α3, and βa-b-c had quaternary structure, thermostability, and enzymatic activity comparable to those of the wild-type. This suggests that substantial independence and mobility of subdomain 3 have enabled rearrangement of the subdomains; and thermostability of the subdomains has constrained the composition of the subunits.
