An engineering strategy used to improve protein functionality through repeated rounds of mutation and selection First used in the ‘70s Around .01-1% of all random mutations estimated to be beneficial Based off natural evolution processes, but in a much quicker timescale February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 5 Another (more direct?) Method Rational design – modify protein function based on understanding consequences of certain changes We are still relatively ignorant as to how a protein’s gene sequence encodes functionality Directed evolution avoids this problem by creating libraries of variants possessing desired properties February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 6 Why is it Needed? Biotechnology – increased demand for specific properties that don’t necessarily occur naturally Can be used to improve existing proteins’ functionality Can be applied as far as the ideas come – enzymes and catalysts to pharmaceuticals or crops February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 7 Successful Directed Evolution Desired function should be/have: Physically feasible Biologically or evolutionarily feasible Libraries of mutants complex enough to contain rare beneficial mutations Rapid screen to find desired function Increases understanding of protein function and evolution – disconnects protein from natural context February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 8 Basic Method Bloom and Arnold: In the light of directed evolution: Pathways of adaptive protein evolution A parent gene is selected Mutations/diversity are induced (mutagenesis or recombination) Selection criteria applied Repeat with new parent genes selected February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 9 Random Mutagenesis Traditional method Point mutation based – error prone PCR Frequency of beneficial mutations very low Multiple mutations virtually impossible to come out positive February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 10 DNA Shuffling Recombination used to create chimeric sequences containing multiple beneficial mutations “Family shuffling” of homologous genes “Synthetic shuffling” – oligonucleotides combined to create full-length genes Whole-genome shuffling – accelerated phenotypic improvements Drawback – high homology required February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 11 RACHITT Random Chimeragenisis on Transient Templates Small DNA fragments hybridized on a scaffold to create a chimeric DNA fragment Incorporates low-homology segments February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 12 Even More Methods Assembly of Designed Oligonucleotides (ADO) Mutagenic and Unidirectional Reassembly (MURA) Exon Shuffling Y-Ligation-Based Block Shuffling Nonhomologous Recombination – ITCHY, SCRATCHY, SHIPREC, NRR Combining rational design with directed evolution February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 13 ADO Nonconserved regions with conserved parts as linkers PCR with dsDNA without primers Full length genes in expression vector Creates large diversity of active variants without codon bias for parental genes February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 14 MURA Random fragmentation of parental gene Reassembled with unidirectional primers for specific restriction site Generates N-terminally truncated DNA shuffled libraries February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 15 Exon Shuffling Similar to natural splicing of exons Chimeric oligos mixed together, controlling combination of which exons to be spliced Protein pharmaceuticals based on natural human genes – less immune response February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 16 Nonhomologous Recombination Creation of new protein folds Structures not present in nature – useful for evolution of multifunctional proteins Incremental truncation for the creation of hybrid enzyme (ITCHY) – two genes in expression vector with unique restriction sites, blunt end digestion, ligated >SCRATCHY Nonhomologous random recombination – potentially higher flexibility in fragment size and crossover frequency February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 17 A Combination Rational design with directed evolution Success depends on ability to predict fitness of a sequence Computationally demanding Kuhlman et al created a new protein fold Focuses library diversity for directed evolution February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 18 Directed Evolution in Action Has been applied to improve polymerases, nucleases, transposases, integrases, recombinases Applications in genetic engineering, functional genomics, and gene therapy Optimized fluorescent proteins and small-molecule probes for imaging and techniques like FRET February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 19 The Case of a Fluorescent Protein dsRED – parent protein evolved to have better solubility and shorter maturation time dsRed February 15, 2010 mCherry University of Illinois 20 Biochemical Catalysts Useful in industry because of high selectivity and minimal energy requirements Need for high availability at low costs Active and stable under process conditions – not naturally occuring Some reaction enzymes still yet to be identified and produced February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 21 Application to Enzymes Improve stability and activity of biochemical catalysts Can modify pH or temperature dependence Substrate specificity or catalytic activity MANY applications: Proteolytic – Subtilisin in detergents Cellulolytic and esterases – biofuel production Cytochrome P450 superfamily – catalyze hydroxilation Whole metabolic pathway evolution February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 22 Whole Metabolic Pathways Closer to natural compound production Single enzyme activity upregulation does not necessarily lead to increase in final product Different methods: Whole genome shuffling Key enzymes targeted Naturally expressed operons targeted Target gene regulation factors February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 23 Pharmaceuticals Therapeutic proteins Antibodies – natural somatic recombination Vaccines – improved effectiveness, less side effects Viruses – gene therapy and vaccine development February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 24 Agriculture Plants with increased tolerance for herbicides or expression of toxins Golden rice Expresses elevated beta-carotene (Vitamin A precursor) Directed evolution - 23 times more in second version Not approved for distribution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 25 Conclusions Directed evolution can be a powerful tool taking advantage of nature’s power to improve upon itself Used in a wide variety of applications for protein improvement – stability, activity, substrate specificity, etc Potential for genetically engineering improved drugs or crops Ultimately, combining tools will lead to better understanding and applications February 15, 2010 University of Illinois 26 Thank You!
