RESUMO
A simple and efficient procedure for the generation of random GC to AT transition mutations in a specific DNA segment is described. A restriction fragment is inserted in each orientation into an M13 vector, single-stranded virion DNA from each recombinant phage is treated with methoxylamine, and, after reannealing of the mutagenized strands, a double-stranded restriction fragment is obtained. This methoxylamine-derivatized DNA segment is then joined with linearized M13 RF DNA, competent E. coli is transfected, and mutations are directly identified by sequencing of the phage DNA. Using this technique, single and double nucleotide substitutions were generated at a frequency greater than 50% in a 56-base pair segment of the signal codons of the TEM beta-lactamase.
