[Site-localized mutagenesis directed by phosphotriester analogs of oligonucleotides].
17- and 20-mer oligodeoxyribonucleotides and their analogues, containing one to four phosphate groups esterified with ethyl alcohol in different positions of oligonucleotide chain, were synthesized by modified triester method. Ethylated di- and trinucleotide blocks were prepared by transesterification method from chlorophenyl derivatives. The structures of the oligonucleotides were confirmed by Maxam-Gilbert sequencing method. Oligonucleotides were not totally complementary to the N-terminal region of lac Z'gene (coding for N-terminal fragment of beta-galactosidase) of phage M13mpB DNA and induced the formation of the proposed deletion mutant DNA M13mp1 delta T. Phosphotriester analogues were more effective mutagens as compared to phosphodiester oligonucleotides due to their stability to nucleases. The use of E. coli DNA-polymerase I provided the increase in the mutant yields in case of the phosphotriester analogues. The stability of the analogues to 5'----3'----5'-endonuclease action, the specificity of oligonucleotide: DNA binding and the structure of mutant DNA were studied by the Sanger sequencing method.
