contents <p>Enucleated oocytes, lacking nuclear DNA and repair mechanisms, provide a unique system to explore<br>cytoplasmic influences on DNA evolution. This theoretical study investigates the transformation of two<br>separate plasmids—PhiC31 (3895 bp) and pCMV-LacZ-BbsI (4968 bp)—injected simultaneously into a<br>nucleus-free environment, with a combined total of 8863 base pairs. The vectors serve dual roles: confirming<br>nuclear absence through the silence of nuclear-dependent markers (KanR/NeoR, GFP, LacZ) and quantifying<br>mutation rates using a nonlinear model tailored for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Simulations predict a<br>baseline mutation rate of 4.47×10⁻⁶ mutations per nucleotide (0.040 mutations across 8863 bp) over 48 hours,<br>escalating to 1.00×10⁻⁴ (0.89 mutations) under high oxidative stress and ion interactions across 20 batches (5<br>cycles each, 240 hours per batch). Elevated temperature (T=40°C) and pressure (P=10 atm) amplify these<br>effects. We propose an experimental framework to validate these findings by injecting both plasmids<br>simultaneously into 100 enucleated mouse oocytes under varying conditions, offering insights into<br>cytoplasmic-driven DNA evolution with potential evolutionary implications.</p>
