A protocol has been developed that is capable of saturating regions hundreds of basepairs in length with linker scanning mutations. The efficacy of this method stems from the design of the linker scanning mutagenesis (LSM) cassette which is composed of a selectable marker flanked by two oligonucleotides, each of which contains a recognition site for a different restriction endonuclease. The cleavage site for one endonuclease is within its recognition site, while the second endonuclease cleaves in the target DNA beyond the end of the cassette. Digestion with these endonucleases and subsequent ligation results in the replacement of 12 bp of the original target sequence with 12 bp of the linker scanning oligonucleotide. We have used this protocol to mutagenize a span of approximately 400 bp surrounding the start site of the gene for the beta subunit (rpoB) of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. The translation of the beta mRNA has been shown previously to be regulated by the intracellular concentration of either beta or beta'. Analysis of the linker scanning mutations indicates that sequences extending a considerable distance both upstream and downstream of the start site are required for normal translation. Also a site that appears to be involved in translational repression by excess beta' has been identified.
