Mutan™-Express Km

Applications:

  • Site-Directed Mutagenesis Based on the Oligonucleotide-Directed Dual Amber (ODA) Method

Description:

Takara's Mutan™-Express Km kit is designed to efficiently introduce site-directed mutations. Using the simplified procedure, a desired mutation can be introduced in 3 days without ssDNA isolation.

Principle

The oligonucleotide-directed dual amber (ODA) method utilizes the pKF 18k/19k vector containing dual amber mutations on a kanamycin-resistant gene that can only be propagated in a supE host strain. The target DNA to be mutated is cloned into the multiple cloning site of pKF 18k/19k and ssDNA is prepared by heat denaturation. An oligonucleotide containing the desired mutation, along with the selection primer for revision of amber on the kanamycin gene are simultaneously hybridized to the ssDNA. A complementary strand is synthesized by polymerase action. This newly synthesized strand is introduced into the supE/mutS strain and DNA replication proceeds. By selecting DNA which is propagated only in the sup0 strain, the target DNA with the desired mutation is obtained.
