Cloning of random-sequence oligodeoxynucleotides
Abstract
Methods are described for cloning random or highly degenerate nucleotide (nt) sequences. The procedures use synthetically derived mixtures of oligodeoxynucleotides (oligos) whose heterogeneous central portions are bounded at their 5' and 3' ends by sequences recognized by restriction endonucleases. Oligo collections of defined length and nt composition are synthesized by utilizing appropriate concentrations of all four nucleotide precursors during each addition step for the central region. Single-stranded oligos with appropriate 5' and 3' ends can be ligated directly, although inefficiently, into double-stranded (ds) DNA molecules with complementary 5' and 3' extensions produced by restriction endonuclease cleavage. A more general and efficient method is to convert the oligo into a ds form by incubating it with the Klenow (large) fragment of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. If the 3' ends are palindromic, two oligo molecules will serve as mutual primers for polymerization. The resulting products are ds molecules containing two oligo units separated by the original 3' restriction site and bounded at each end by the original 5' restriction site. After appropriate restriction endonuclease cleavage, oligo units can be cloned by standard procedures. Analysis of 26 recombinant M13 phages indicates that the nt sequences of the cloned oligos are in good accord with what was expected on a random basis.
