RecA-dependent homologous recombination in Escherichia coli is a very effective way to construct chimeras between two homologous genes. The disadvantage of in vivo method is a small library size of chimeric genes in comparison with in vitro DNA shuffling. In order to overcome the disadvantage, we have developed novel in vivo DNA shuffling methods with successive homologous recombinations. Linearized...
Family shuffling, which is one of the most powerful techniques for in vitro protein evolution, always involves the problem of reassembling the gene fragments into parental gene sequences, because such a process prevents the formation of chimeric sequences. In order to improve the efficiency of hybrid formation in family shuffling, single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs) were used as templates. The ssDNAs of...
It has recently been shown that shuffling of the amino acid sequences of family enzymes allows the generation of improved enzymes. Family shuffling is generally achieved by a DNase I treatment and then by PCR. Shuffling of the xylE and nahH genes, both encoding catechol 2,3-dioxygenases, was carried out by the published method. However, nahH-xylE hybrids were only formed at a very low frequency (less...
