20. D114 of TnsA corresponds to a conserved position in this protein's putative DD-35-E motif, a domain common to many transposases and implicated as the catalytic site (13). The mutation was introduced into the TnsA gene by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based procedure. Oligonucleotides were synthesized such that a PCR reaction with pEM279 [a derivative of pGST-A (8)] as a template would generate a small fragment containing the point mutation flanked by two cloning sites. The product of the PCR was isolated and treated with appropriate restriction enzymes The mutagenic insert was gelpurified and then ligated into pEM279 Unless otherwise noted, all molecular and genetic protocols were from J Sambrook, E F Fritsch, T. Maniatis, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, C. Nolan Ed. (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, ed 2, 1989).
