A collection of 77 unique missense mutations distributed across the gene encoding staphylococcal nuclease (nuc) has been assembled. These mutations were induced by random gap misrepair mutagenesis of the cloned gene and were identified inE. colitransformants expressing reduced levels of nuclease activity. Fournuc-mutations which alter amino acid residues at positions outside of the active site region of the enzyme were submitted to a second round of mutagenesis, and characterization of several independent NUC+isolates lead to the identification of three second-site suppressor mutations within the protein-coding sequence of thenucgene. On separation from the mutation originally suppressed and recombination with a number of othernuc-mutations, all three suppressors displayed the property of "global" suppression,i.e., phenotypic suppression of the nuclease-minus character of multiple different alleles. A simple and generally applicable strategy was used to obtain efficient homologous recombination between plasmids for purposes of mappingnuc-mutations, mapping second-site suppressors and constructing double mutant combinations from pairs of single mutations.
