High throughput DNA multi-site precise base mutation method

Abstract

The invention discloses a high throughput DNA multi-site precise base mutation method. Based on overlap-extension PCR high throughput, mutation is efficiently introduced into multiple sites of a target gene segment; the used primer is not a degenerate primer and is a mutant primer containing a precisely designed target mutant sequence; the length of the mutant sites is not only a single amino acidand can be continuous 1 to 5 amino acids; the primer is not synthesized through single DNA chains and is massively synthesized in an integrated chip by an oligonucleotide synthesizer; the magnitude of primer species can reach 10<4> to 10<5> species/batch; and by adjusting the reaction conditions, the mutation frequency can be controlled to a certain degree. The provided mutation database foundation method can obtain a great amount of effective mutants; the database foundation mutant positive rate (non-synonymous amino acid mutation) can reach 80%; after subsequent high throughput screening, the established mutant library can be used as a powerful tool for obtaining ideal proteins and nucleic acid modifiers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gene manipulation, in particular to a high-throughput DNA multi-site precise base mutation method, in particular to a high-throughput synthetic mutation primer based on overlap extension PCR using precisely designed oligonucleotide chips Library, a method for simultaneously introducing mutations into multiple sites of a target gene fragment. Background technique [0002] In 1967, Spiegelman et al. proposed the idea of ​​directed evolution of biomolecules at the molecular level in vitro. Directed evolution technology is a process of using laboratory methods to repeatedly modify genetic diversity, combined with high-throughput library screening to obtain organisms with ideal traits. It has become one of the most widely used and effective techniques in the field of protein engineering. Directed evolution belongs to the category of irrational protein design. Compared with the rational mutation method, the co...

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages are: (1) Error-prone PCR generally only introduces a small part of sequence changes (mainly point mutations), so it is generally suitable for smaller gene fragments (<2kb)

(2) A large number of redundant mutations such as synonymous mutations, stop codon mutations, and reading frame disruptions caused by the randomness of the introduction of mutations make the mutation library constructed by error-prone PCR less efficient, and the effective mutant ratio accounts for about 0.1 -0.2%, increasing the cost of the experiment, causing difficulties in downstream screening experiments, making it difficult to obtain ideal mutants

The disadvantages are: (1) when amplifying the upstream and downstream fragments respectively, only high-fidelity or mixed DNA polymerases without tailing performance can be used, but DNA polymerases with no template tailing performance cannot be used; (2) ) When the target site is close to the end of the target gene, the segmented amplified fragments are too small to be recovered, which will easily cause the terminal mutation frequency to drop; (3) the number of degenerate primers required for multi-point saturation mutat...
