Engineering of Aniline Dioxygenase for Bioremediation and Industrial Applications
Another round of saturation mutagenesis on active site residues with 1-K31 as parent followed by random mutagenesis yielded the mutant 3-R21. Whole cell activity of 3-R21 for AN, 24DMA and 2IPA were 27.7, 9.8, and 12 nmol/min/mg protein respectively. The activities of 3-R21 for AN, 24DMA and 2IPA …

Characterisation of phenol hydroxylase and its auxiliary proteins, DmpM and DmpK, from pseudomonas spl Strain CF600
… of the enzyme was inactive. Site-directed and random mutagenesis were performed on DmpM to identify residues involved in its interaction with the oxygenase. Although mutation of six conserved residues activated phenol hydroxylase in steady-state assays, the double mutant M37T/V77A, resulting …

Identification of Residues Critical to Epithelial Sodium Channel Assembly
… chain reaction (EP-PCR) was employed to promote random mutagenesis in the extracellular loop of alpha-ENaC. The levels of growth inhibition were monitored in the yeast strain S1InsE4A and subsequently characterized. The location of the point mutations and the corresponding amino acid transitions …

CRISPR-based approach enables targeted random nucleotide diversification in mammalian cells
… that had been difficult to generate via rational mutagenesis. Tools for in vivo directed evolution have been mainly developed for bacterial systems, preventing the evolution of proteins in higher organisms in their cellular context. The only tools available for mammalian cells rely on the AID …

Structure, Function and Engineering of Peptide -Mhc Binding Receptors
… can influence peptide specificity. Furthermore, random mutagenesis of the TCR revealed that single-site mutations are sufficient to achieve higher-affinities. One mutation in a residue (Valpha1) outside of the CDRs, also generated a higher affinity, peptide specific TCR. Results with this and …

Structural Dynamics and Signaling Roles of the Aer PAS and F1 Regions
… within the PAS sensor. In this study, I used random mutagenesis to identify additional residues in the PAS domain that are critical for FAD-binding, sensing and signal transduction. I found that Aer mutant proteins did not require FAD binding for maturation and stability. However, lesions that …

Naujų Mu transpozonų konstravimas ir jų panaudojimas baltymų struktūros tyrimuose /
… transposon Tn-Km-Mre was evaluated by performing random mutagenesis of eco47IR gene. The other task of this work was to find out those regions of the encoded Eco47I restriction endonuclease which tolerate small insertions. Four such regions were identified. Based on this information five positive …

DEVELOPMENT OF TRAPPING STYLE CASSETTES FOR NEW GENE TARGETING STRATEGIES
… trapping strategies were developed to enabled random mutagenesis. Today, the goal is to generate more versatile tools to avoid limitations posed by these earlier mutagenesis strategies. Many public and private research centers have united with the aim of mutating all mouse genes. In order to …

The Invariant Arginine In Motif 2 of ESCHERICHIA COLI Alanyl-tRNA Synthetase : Is Important For Catalysis But Not For Substrate Binding
… 2 of other class II synthetases. Site-directed random mutagenesis has been employed to generate a set of proteins containing amino acid substitutions in a portion of motif 2 of AlaRS. In this set, only mutations at position 69 caused the enzyme to lose ability to complement growth of an …

Unveiling and exploiting <i>Phytophthora capsici</i> effectors and their host targets, with an emphasis on CRN effector proteins
… In this thesis, by performing a PCR based random mutagenesis screen on P. capsici CRN effector PcCRN83_152, we showed that PcCRN83_152 cell death is not required for its virulence function. In addition, we demonstrated that PcCRN83_152 interacts with nuclear proteins from the host plants N. …

Genetic and Biochemical Characterization of a Phoa-Dependent Pathway for Phosphite Oxidation in Escherichia Coli
… bacterial alkaline phosphatase (BAP). Transposon mutagenesis studies and biochemical isolation of the phosphite-oxidizing component(s) led to the conclusion that BAP alone is sufficient to complete this oxidation reaction. Further biochemical characterization with purified BAP verified that this …
