Mutagenesis
๏ต Mutagenesis is defined as the change in the information of an organism in
a stable manner by the use of physical and chemical mutagens
๏ต It was developed by Charlotte auerbach. She was the 1 st women scientist
to study on the effect of chemical mutagens
There are different types of
mutagenesis
๏ต 1)Directed mutagenesis
๏ต 2) Random mutagenesis
๏ต 3) Insertional mutagenesis
๏ต -signature tagged mutagenesis
๏ต Virus insertional mutagenesis
๏ต 4) PCR mutagenesis
๏ต -site directed mutagenesis
๏ต Mismatched mutagenesis
๏ต 5โ€™ add on mutagenesis
๏ต Cassette mutagenesis
1) Directed mutagenesis
It is defined as the change in amino acid coding at the DNA level
Different types of directed mutagenesis are
a) Oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis with M13 DNA
b) Oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis with plasmid DNA
c) Pcr amplified oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis
2) Random mutagenesis
๏ต Random mutagenesis is also known as directed evolution or molecular
breeding
๏ต In this gene is non specifically changed at one or more codon level to
produce a mixture of mutated genes
๏ต Advantages
๏ต The role of an amino acid in the working of the protein is not required
3)Insertional mutagenesis
๏ต Insertional mutagenesis is produced by insertion of 1 or more bases and
can be produced
1. Natural method
2. Medicated by virus or transposon( signature tagged mutagenesis)
3. Artificially in the lab for research purpose
4) PCR mutagenesis
๏ต Is used to change the nucleotide sequence of the DNA. The method can
be used to alter amino acid to test the function of domains in a protein to
asses the function of a promoter
๏ต Different ways:
1. Site directed mutagenesis
2. Mismatched mutagenesis
3. 5โ€˜add on mutagenesis
4. Cassette mutagenesis
Application
๏ต Site directed mutagenesis is used to study changes in protein activity that
occurs as a result of DNA manipulation
๏ต It is used to change specific amino acid in an enzyme
๏ต It is used to introduce or remove restriction endonuclease sites on tags
๏ต In vitro mutagenesis is used to purposefully change genetic information
Advantages
๏ต Induced mutagenesis is used for the induction of cytoplasmic male Sterility
๏ต It is more effective for improvement of Oligogenic characters
๏ต Mutation breeding is cheap and rapid method
๏ต It is very simple, quick, when a new character is to be include in
vegetatively propagated crops
Disadvantages
๏ต Most of the mutation are deleterious and undesirable
๏ต Identification of micro mutation, which are more useful to plant breeder is
usually very difficult
๏ต Mutation breeding has limited scope for the genetic improvement of
quantitative or polygennic characters
