Outline
• What causes mutations?– Spontaneous– Mutator Strains– Mutagens– Considerations
• Isolation of Mutants – Selections– Screens– Enrichments
![Page 3: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Transitions vs. Transversions
Transition
• Pu -> Pu• Py -> Py
• G -> A• C -> T
Transversions
• Pu -> Py• Py -> Pu
• G -> T• C -> A• G -> C• C -> G
A, G PuT, C Py

What causes mutations?
1. Spontaneous- wide variety of mutations types substitutions, deletions, frameshifts, insertions
2. DNA replications errors- not repaired
3. Recombination –> rearrangements-> deletions and insertions (duplications)
4. DNA damage – radiation, metabolisms, free radicals
5. Transposable elements – insertions, usually rare, <106/gene/ generation

Types of Mutations
1. Missense2. Insertion3. Deletion 4. Frameshift
![Page 6: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mutator strains• Cells have mutation that affects DNA repair and metabolism (not WT)
Repair Mutation
1. mutD = dnaQ= proofreading subunit of DNA Pol III-Mutation rate increases 1000x- Substitutions, transitions, transversions, and
frameshifts
2. mut L S H= mismatch repair- Mutation rate increases 100x- Substitutions, transitions, transversions, and
frameshifts
3. Several others – metabolism and repair
Examples:

Mutagens
• Chemical or physical agents• Increase mutation frequency
• How do they work?1. Mispairing2. Modify bases in DNA
![Page 8: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Types of MutagensMutagen Mechanism Types of mutations produced
Spontaneous DNA replication and repair errors, spontaneous modification of nucleotides All types of mutations produced
UV irradiation Pyrimidine dimers induce error prone repair (SOS)
Mainly G-C to A-T transitions, but all other types of mutations including
deletions, frameshifts, and rearrangements at somewhat lower
frequency
2-aminopurine (2AP) Base analog A-T to G-C and G-C to A-T transitions
Bromouracil Base analog G-C to A-T and A-T to G-C transitions
Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) Alkylating agent, generates N4-hudroxycytosine G-C to A-T transitions when used in vitro
N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)
Alkylating agent, generates O6-methylguanine
G-C to A-T transitions, multiple, closely spaced mutations common
Ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS) (EMS) Alkylating agent, generates O6-methylguanine G-C to A-T transitions
Ethylethane sulfonate (DES) Alkylating agent, induces SOS response G-C to T-A transversions, other base substitution mutations
Nitrous acid Oxidative deamination G-C to A-T and A-T to G-C transitions, deletions produced at a lower frequency
ICR-191Intercalating agent, alkylacridine derivative
that stabilizes looped out bases by stacking between them
Frameshifts, mainly additions or deletions in runs of G or C

Mispairing
• Occurs during replication by incorporating the wrong base
• Cells must be actively growing for these to work
• Example 5BU (Thymine Analog), or 2AP (Adenine analog)
![Page 10: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
5BU
![Page 11: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hydroxylamine
![Page 12: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Modify bases in DNA
• By mispairing
• Can use alkylating agents
• Ex. Diethylsulphate, methylates guanine to pair with thymine during replication= results in GC to an AT bp
• Ex. Nitrosogunidine is very potent (can’t buy anymore)– Thought to act at the replication fork
• Ex. Depurination induces SOS repair
![Page 13: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HA
• Interacts directly with the DNA by modifying the base
• Modifies C to bp with an A instead of a G
• Specific for GC to AT
• Only works in vitro, no true revertants as unidirectional
• We have sequenced hundreds of mutants, only 1 was not GC to AT
![Page 14: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Altered nucleotide pools
• Alters concentration of nucleotides, increases rate of misincorporation
• Exc BrUTP inhibits dCTP synthesis– Increases T to G misincorporations
– Modifying the nucleotide pools = increases rate of misincorporations
– Ex. PCR dNTP concentrations
![Page 15: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Intercalating Agents
• Insert between bases in DNA• Causes frameshifts
• Ex EtBR- carcinogen
![Page 16: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Indirect Mutagenesis
• Occurs during repair of DNA damage• Induce SOS pathway
• Ex. Expose to UV light or MMS (alkylation)• Makes T-T dimers which block replication• Induces repair• High probability of a mutation during DNA synthesis past
lesion• Results in substitutions, rearrangements. and frameshifts
![Page 17: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

How specific are mutagens?
• J. Miller had a collection of lacI amber mutants- examine reversion to lacI+
• EMS, NG, 2AP, UV = several sites in common• UV mostly changes at other sites• mutT different pattern: transversion• 2AP had hot spots (regions prone to mutagenesis)
• Handout
![Page 19: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Some Genes do not mutagenize well
• Ex rII gene of phage T4
• Benzer isolated 3000 spontanous mutants
• ½ were at 2 sites
• Need to do lots of work to isolate new mutants
![Page 20: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Choice of Mutagens
• NG: very powerful: initial test to see if you can isolate mutants
• ICR: Only makes frameshifts
• HA: Only specific in vitro
• No true revertants (for HA) (Explain later)
![Page 21: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Insertional Mutants
• Use a transposon with an antibiotic cassette• Inserts into chromosomes• Isolate mutant
• Can sequence the adjacent DNA to determine what was disrupted
• Good for finding undiscovered targets
![Page 22: Isolation of Mutants; Selections, Screens and Enrichments Carolyn Keeton Turn In HW 1 in Front.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032518/56649cc65503460f9498ffff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Should I isolate a spontaneous mutant or use a mutagen?Assumptions (generous)
1 gene = 103 basepairs= 330 amino acidsChromosome = 5 x 106 bp for E. coli
Assume 1. Equal random change to mutate any bp2. Assume 1 hit/cell
103 bp = 1/5000 probability of hit in a gene5x 106 bp
Assume 10% = phenotype (90% silent) 1 1 15000 10 5x104
If screened 250 colonies a plate= 200 plates for 1 mutant(Lots of work)
If use a mutagen that increases mutation rate 100x= 2 plates (but can get second site mutants)

*Backcross*• Very important when doing mutagenesis
• After isolating a mutant, a good geneticist would move it to a clean background
• Verifies the mutation gives the correct phenotype
• Will explain the mechanism later
