The combined overlap extension PCR (COE-PCR) method developed in this work combines the strengths of the overlap extension PCR (OE-PCR) method with the speed and ease of the asymmetrical overlap extension (AOE-PCR) method. This combined method allows up to 6 base pairs to be mutated at a time and requires a total of 40–45 PCR cycles. A total of eight mutagenesis experiments were successfully carried out, with each experiment mutating between two to six base pairs. Up to four adjacent codons were changed in a single experiment. This method is especially useful for codon optimization, where doublet or triplet rare codons can be changed using a single mutagenic primer set, in a single experiment.

AbstractObjective:Restoration of catalytic activity of Isa2 fromMethods:The six conserved amino acid residues absent in the Stisa2 gene were restored by mutation using the overlap extension PCR and the asymmetrical overlap extension PCR methods. Next, mutant Stisa2 with restored catalytic residues was expressed inResults:Both qualitative and quantitative analysis showed that the restoration of the conserved residues in the catalytic site did not restore starch debranching activity. Molecular modeling showed greater than expected distances between the catalytic triad in mutant Stisa2. These additional distances are likely to prevent hydrogen bonding which stabilizes the reaction intermediate, and are critical for catalytic activity.Conclusions:These results suggest that during evolution, mutations in other highly conserved regions have caused significant changes to the structure and function of the catalytic network. Catalytically inactive Isa2, which is conserved in starch-producing plants, has evolved important non-catalytic roles such as in substrate binding and in regulating isoamylase activity.

We describe the application of simple cloning by prolonged overlap extension for multiple site-directed mutagenesis in the same plasmid. We show that it is possible to use this technique with very short PCR templates. The technique is ideally suited for the generation of longer donor DNA sequences for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homologous repair.

Introduction of a site-directed mutation can be effective method to evaluate properties of various genes. Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infectious diseases, which causes great economic losses. Thus, determination of pathogenicity factors in the genus Brucella can lead to the control of this health problem. Due to the importance of site-directed mutations in identification of genomic structure, overlap extension polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been introduced as an improved technique for the removal and replacement of gene targets. In this study, three DNA fragments were amplified and combined using a two-step PCR with specific primers. The resulting fusion PCR product, obtained without any change in the nucleotide sequence, was cloned in a specific position in the pBluescript II SK (-) plasmid using restriction enzymes. Finally, the construct was transferred into cells of Brucella abortus S19 by electroporation and replaced the target gene (wbkA) in the genome of the bacterium. PCR analysis was performed on kanamycin-resistant colonies to provide genetic evidence that the B. abortus wbkA gene was interrupted by the kanamycin cassette. The results of this study show that the optimized modified technique, splicing by overlap extension PCR, is effective in creating mutations in the bacterial genome and can easily be used in Brucella spp.
