Materials and MethodsConstructions and Mutagenesis. Plasmid pLacl-102 en-codes a protein fragment comprising the first 102 residues of X repressor. To construct this plasmid, we used the 412 base pair EcoRI/Rstfl fragment, which contains the/acUV5 promoter and the N-terminal region of X repressor, from pKB280 (Backman & Ptashne, 1978). This fragment was ligated into the EcoRl/Hindlll backbone of pBR322 after filling in the 5'overhang of the//mdlll site to create a blunt end. The blunt ligation of these fragments creates an amber termination codon after thecodon for residue 102 andthus directs synthesis of an N-terminal repressor fragment. For oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, the small Eco-Rl/BamHl fragment from pLacl-102 was cloned into the polylinker of phage M13mp8 (Messing & Vierer, 1982). In separate experiments, the Tyr-88—* Cys and Tyr-85-* Cys mutations were introduced into the repressor coding sequence in M13 by using antisense primerswith single-base mis-matches; 5'-CGCTTCACACATCTC-3' and 5'-CATCTCGCAGATTTC-3'. Annealing, second-strandsynthesis, ligation, transfection, and plaque hybridization were performed by standard procedures (Zoller & Smith, 1983; Carter et al., 1984). For each mutagenesis, several candidates were chosen by hybridization with labeled primers, sequenced by the dideoxy procedure (Sanger et al., 1977), and found when compared with wild type (Sauer, 1978) to contain only the expected Cys-88 or Cys-85 substitutions. These mutant N-terminal domains and their associated lac promoters were recloned into the EcoRl/BamHl backbone of pBR322, gen-erating mutant plasmids with the same structure as pLacl-102. The plasmid bearing the Cys-88 mutation was designated pRS30, and that bearing the Cys-85 change was designated pRS40.Prior to protein purification, the wild-type and mutant 1-102 genes were cloned under transcriptional control of the hybrid trp-lac promoter (Plac). For these constructions, the 482-residue Mspl fragment from pLacl-102 or mutant derivatives was cloned into the Clal site of plasmid pEA300. This cloning strategy is completely analogousto that described by Amann et al.(1983) forintact X repressor. Plasmids containing the
