Mutagenesis as a tool for improving lectins from pathogenic bacteria
Original language description
Directed evolution is widely used in protein engineering for producing proteins with altered or improved properties. This powerful tool includes several main approaches. The first is a random mutagenesis, which is used for creating random mutations anywhere in the gene of interest. The second is a targeted random mutagenesis, which is utilized for preparing mutants with random base substitutions in selected hotspots. In addition, a site directed mutagenesis is based on rational design and it serves forcreating specific amino acid substitutions in selected hotspots. In our work two technical approaches - the targeted-random mutagenesis via mixture of oligonucleotide primers and the site directed mutagenesis via two primers carrying specific substitution ? are employed. Lectins are proteins produced by different organisms. They are able to bind various sugars specifically.
