Definitions

  • the invention relates to the production of oligonucleotide libraries encoding randomised peptides, vectors and host cells containing such libraries, and kits for the production of such libraries.
  • Randomised gene libraries have little in common with conventional genomic or cDNA libraries.
  • Conventional libraries consist of clones that collectively cover an entire genome/transcriptome and are generally screened by nucleic acid hybridisation.
  • randomised libraries generally contain variations of a gene or a fragment of a gene, which is screened for novel activity.
  • the randomised genes are expressed and screened conventionally, for example, in phage, bacterial or in vitro display techniques.
  • This methodology requires a pool of oligonucleotides, for each position to be randomised, which are hybridised to a template, conventionally (NNN) randomised at the appropriate positions.
  • NNN conventionally randomised
  • This approach enables each amino acid to be encoded only once within the pools of oligonucleotides, hence the number of unique genes generated is equivalent to the number of proteins encoded, regardless of the number of positions of randomisation.
  • this methodology represents a significant improvement over traditional techniques, there remains a relatively high percentage of non-MAX (unwanted) codons ( ⁇ 10%) at the randomised positions. Additionally, due to the constraints of the hybridisation process only small quantities of the DNA constructs are produced, which is difficult to manipulate particularly when encoding subsets of amino acids.
  • Hine et al have made improvements to this methodology which virtually eliminate the presence of unwanted sequences and increase the yield of DNA (Hine, A. V., Hughes, M. D., Nagel, D. A., Ashraf, M. and Santos, A. F. (2002). MAX Codon Gene Libraries. WO 03/106679; Hughes m.p., Nagel D. A., Santos A. F., Sutherland A. J. and Hine A. V. (2003). Removing the redundancy from randomised gene libraries. J. Mol. Biol. 331 (5), 973-979).
  • This methodology employs some additional oligonucleotides which hybridise to the template strand but also provide an extension which is not complementary to the template strand. This enables the selective amplification of the required encoding strand thus increasing the yield and minimising unwanted sequences.
  • the invention provides a method of producing an oligonucleotide library comprising a plurality of oligonucleotides, each oligonucleotide in the library having at least one predetermined position, a randomisation codon selected from a defined group of codons, the codons within said defined group coding for different amino acids, said method comprising the steps of:
  • each double-stranded randomisation oligonucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence coding for a restriction endonuclease recognition site capable of being recognised by a restriction endonuclease, the restriction endonuclease capable of cleaving the randomisation oligonucleotide upstream or downstream of the endonuclease recognition site at a predetermined cleavage site to create a blunt ended cut;
  • step (f) Using the randomised double-stranded oligonucleotides as starter oligonucleotides and repeating method steps (a) to (e) and optionally step (f) to produce a plurality of randomised double-stranded oligonucleotides, each comprising an additional randomisation codon.
  • the randomisation oligonucleotides differ by having different randomisation codons.
  • oligonucleotides used are preferably DNA, however other double-stranded nucleotides, such as RNA, or analogues of DNA or RNA may be used.
  • the double-stranded starter oligonucleotides comprise a blunt end onto which the double-stranded randomisation oligonucleotides are ligated.
  • the randomisation codon on the coding strand and the complementary codon on the non-coding strand preferably form a blunt end on the randomisation oligonucleotides and are preferably ligated to the blunt end of the double-stranded starter oligonucleotide.
  • At least a portion of the starter oligonucleotide to which the randomisation codon attaches may encode a part of a gene or other nucleotide sequence encoding a predetermined amino acid sequence.
  • the randomisation oligonucleotides and the starter oligonucleotides are ligated by DNA ligase.
  • DNA ligases are well-known in the art.
  • E. coli and phage T4 encode an enzyme, DNA ligase, which seals single-stranded nicks between adjacent oligonucleotides in a duplex DNA chain.
  • the requirement of the different enzymes are well-known.
  • T4 enzyme requires ATP whilst the E. coli enzyme requires NAD + .
  • the cofactor is split and forms an enzyme-AMP complex. The complex binds either side of the DNA strands to be joined and makes a covalent bond between a 5′-phosphate on one strand and a 3′-OH group on the adjacent strand.
  • At least one of the 5′ ends of the oligonucleotides to be ligated comprises a phosphate group to allow the oligonucleotides to be ligated by a DNA ligase.
  • both of the 5′ ends of the oligonucleotides to be ligated comprise a phosphate group.
  • the adjacent strand to the phosphate group(s) will contain a 3′-OH group.
  • the predetermined cleavage site for the endonuclease is immediately adjacent to the randomisation codon.
  • the ligated oligonucleotides may be amplified by, for example, PCR using primers complementary to e.g. sequences on the starter oligonucleotides.
  • the PCR product produced may be purified and isolated, for example, using conventional techniques such as polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and excisation of the relevant band of DNA prior to isolation of the DNA and digestion with the restriction endonuclease.
  • PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
  • step (f) is followed one or more times to be used to an oligonucleotide library comprising a plurality of oligonucleotides, each oligonucleotide and library having at least two contiguous randomised codons.
  • the number of randomised codons contained in the library is 1 or 2, most preferably 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 codons.
  • the method provides ligating a double stranded completion oligonucleotide to the starter oligonucleotide after the required number of randomised codons have been added.
  • the completion oligonucleotide may comprise a predefined nucleotide sequence comprising a restriction endonuclease recognition site to allow the randomised nucleotide sequence to be spliced into a gene of interest.
  • the completion oligonucleotide may encode a non-randomised fragment of a gene of interest.
  • a nucleotide sequence attached to the randomisation codon of the randomisation oligonucleotide may be different in each round of adding the randomisation codons. That is each set of randomisation oligonucleotides used in each round of steps (a) to (f), when the method is repeated to add further randomised codons, may contain a different sequence attached to the randomised codon. This allows randomised double-stranded oligonucleotides obtained after each round of random codon addition to be selectively amplified by PCR with a primer complementary to the different sequence. This is expected to reduce the need for PAGE purification between random codon addition cycles.
  • restriction endonuclease recognition site and cleavage site is:
  • restriction endonuclease site has been identified as being recognised by two restriction endonucleases: MlyI, which is obtainable from New England Biolabs, Inc. and SchI, available from Fermentas Life Sciences.
  • MlyI which is obtainable from New England Biolabs, Inc.
  • SchI available from Fermentas Life Sciences.
  • the two enzymes are produced by different micro-organisms.
  • MlyI for example, is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,395,531 and is found in Micrococcus lylae.
  • Both of the endonucleases recognise the double-stranded DNA sequence 5′-GAGTC 3′ and cleave DNA 5 bases downstream generating blunt ends.
  • any restriction endonuclease which binds to a restriction endonuclease sequence but cuts adjacent to or a number of nucleotides upstream or downstream of the recognition sequence to allow separation of the randomisation codon may also be used.
  • the genetic coding for different amino acids is well-known, for example the genetic code for codons in mRNA transcribed from the codon DNA strand is:
  • the different amino acids coded by different codons have different properties. In some circumstances it may be desirable to focus the library towards different groups of amino acids with similar properties. Hence, preferably the codons are selected. For example, they may be focused towards very hydrophobic amino acids (such as Val, Ile, Leu, Met, Phe, Trp or Cys.), less hydrophobic amino acids (Ala, Tyr, His, Thr, Ser, Pro and Gly), part-hydrophobic amino acids (Arg and Lys), sulphur-containing amino acids (Cys), positively charged amino acids (Arg, His and Lys), negatively-charged amino acids (Asp and Glu), etc. Alternatively, they may be selected to avoid a particular amino acid, such as Pro or Cys.
  • At least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 different randomisation codons are used in each round of randomisation codon addition.
