In this assay, a supercoiled plasmid containing attP was mixed with the oligonucleotide containing attB or one of the mutant forms and various concentrations of integrase. The extent of linearization of the attP plasmid indicated the extent of recombination and this was assayed after separation of the DNA in an agarose gel. A control reaction using the wild-type attB site was performed in every assay so that the activities could be compared under identical conditions. The lowest integrase concentration at which recombination could be observed was scored (Figure S1 and Table 1).

Many of the mutant attB sites showed little or only 2-fold change in activity compared to the wild-type site. These sites were changed at ¨C/+1, ¨C/+4, ¨C/+5, ¨C/+7, ¨C/+10, ¨C/+11 and ¨C/+13 (Table 1, Figure 1). The remaining mutants showed defective or partially defective activity ranging from 4-fold less active than wild type to apparently inactive. Oligos encoding sites C-2G:G+2C, C-2A:G+2T, G-6A:C+6T, (G-6T:C+6A, G-9T:C+9A, G-9A:C-9T, G-9C:C-9G, T-15C:C+15G, G-16T:G+15A and G-18C:A+18G were cloned into pGEM7 (Promega) so that the activities of the mutant attB sites could be verified by a standard recombination assay using both att sites residing on plasmids. Only one of the mutant attB sites that was partially defective (at position ¨C/+14) was not represented in the cloned mutant attB site collection; this site was instead subjected to single site substitutions (see later). T-15A:C+15T was not cloned as a plasmid containing another mutant at ¨C/+15 (T-15C:C+15G) with the same activity was quickly obtained. A plasmid encoding G-6C:C+6G was not obtained due to technical difficulties. Plasmids containing mutations in C-3T:G+3A, C-3G:G+3C, C-3A:G+3T, G-8T:C+8A, G-8C:G+8C, C-12A:G+12T and C-12T:G+12A were obtained by PCR mutagenesis as described in the Material and Methods section. The relative activities of the double substitution mutants were estimated compared to a standard reaction with wild-type attB (Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2). As for the oligo-plasmid assay the activity of each mutant site was scored as the concentration of integrase required to observe recombinants in an agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide (Table 1). The relative activities compared to the wild-type site are summarized graphically (Figure 1).

Three of the mutant attB sites were very defective for recombination and these contained substitutions at ¨C/+2, ¨C/+15 and ¨C/+16. In all cases no recombination was observed in either the oligo-plasmid or the standard assay using these double substituted attB sites (Figure 2 and Figure S1). Recombination was just detectable with attB containing substituted ¨C/+18 in the plasmid assay with 351 nM integrase (Figure 2). The low activity of the ¨C/+18 double mutant was surprising given that this position is outside the minimal attB site defined previously by Groth et al. (10). The nature of the mutations made small differences to activity in only a few mutants. The ¨C/+12 mutant containing the double transversion C-12A:G+12T was only just active with 87 nM integrase while the ¨C/+12 mutant containing the transitions C-12T:G+12A was active with 43 nM integrase (Figure 2). The G-6T:C+6A transversions had similar activity to wild-type attB but another ¨C/+6 mutant, containing transitions (G-6A:C+6T) was 2-to 4-fold less active than attB (Figure 2).

All of the mutant attB sites described in this section that were cloned into plasmids were used to test whether they would recombine with attL, attR or attB but no activity was detected in any case. Thus none of these mutant sites had any detectable gain-of-function.

The sequence on the left side of attB has a greater role in attB function than the right side

The effects of mutations at positions ¨C/+2, ¨C/+14, ¨C/+15, ¨C/+16 and ¨C/+18 were studied further. Oligonucleotides were synthesized that had single mutations at either the ¨Cx position in the B arm or in the +x position in the B' arm. Recombination was performed with the oligo-plasmid assay and with the standard recombination assay using the sites cloned into pGEM7. The attB sites containing the single mutations C-2G and G+2C regained much of the activity of the wild-type attB site suggesting that a correct interaction on one or other side of the crossover at this position is sufficient for recombination (Figure 2). Similarly the single mutation at ¨C18 or +18 also regained some activity compared to wild-type attB (Figure S1). Single mutations at the 15 and 16 positions behaved differently. Mutants at ¨C15 or ¨C16 had much greater effects on recombination than the mutants at +15 or +16. The single mutations C+15G and G+16A regained some activity compared to the double mutants T-15C:C+15G and G-16T:G+16A whereas the single mutants at T-15C and G-16T did not (Figure 2). A similar difference, but less so, was also observed at position 14 where the left B arm was more sensitive to mutation than the right B' arm (Table 1). To test this further we experimented with partially symmetrical sites. The B arm of attB that included the region from ¨C12 to ¨C18 was replaced with the +12 to +18 sequence from the B' side . The 2L (+12 to +18) attB site was as active as the wild-type attB site whereas the 2R (¨C12 to ¨C18) site was inactive (Figure 2). These data indicate that the sequence in the left arm of attB plays a major role in attB function and its loss removes all activity. A mutant attB site RL, with the straight swap of the B arm sequence between ¨C12 and ¨C18 with the B' arm sequence at +12 to +18 was inactive (Figure S1) indicating that whatever positive role the ¨C12 to ¨C18 sequence plays in attB function, it is not acting independently of other sequences in the attB site.

Mutant attB sites have little or no reduction in affinity for integrase

This mutational analysis of attB showed that double mutations at three positions ¨C/+2, ¨C/+15 ¨C/+16 and the single mutants at ¨C15 and ¨C16 were particularly defective for recombination.

We have shown previously that it is possible to assay several intermediate steps in recombination i.e. DNA binding, formation of the synapse and cleavage of the DNA to form the covalent intermediate in which integrase is covalently bound to its cleaved substrate (27). The mutant attB sites were used first in affinity assays with integrase. As seen previously integrase bound to the wild-type attB site with an affinity of 60 nM (27,29). Most of the mutant attB sites bound with a similar affinity to the wild-type attB site including the severely recombination defective sites C-2A:G+2T and G-16T:G+16A (Figure 3, Table 2). The mutant T-15C:C+15G had a slightly lower affinity for integrase (128 nM) but this loss of affinity was abolished in the single mutant at ¨C15 (T-15C) which was still defective in recombination (Table 2, Figures 1 and 2). Differences in binding affinities by integrase for mutant attB sites C-2A:G+2T, G-16T:G+16A, T-15C and G-16T cannot therefore account for the defectiveness of these sites in recombination. Mutations involving position 18 from the crossover dinucleotide showed an 3-fold lower affinity for integrase than wild-type attB which could contribute to the observed decrease in recombination activity (Figure 2). It seems likely that attB sites with mutations at ¨C/+2, ¨C/+15, ¨C/+16 were blocked elsewhere in the recombination pathway.

Figure 3. Binding affinities by integrase for the wild-type and mutant attB sites. Integrase was incubated with radiolabelled wild type (panel A) and mutant attB sites (panels B¨CF). In each panel, the phosphorimage shows the complexes obtained with increasing integrase concentrations and, below, the quantitative analysis of the% bound versus the concentration of integrase. Only the ¨C/+15 mutant (T-15C:C+15G) and the ¨C/+18 mutant (G-18C:A+18G) sites showed reduced binding affinities for integrase under the conditions used. A summary of the integrase concentrations required for 50% binding of the different attB mutants is shown in Table 2.

Cleavage by integrase of attB sites with mutations at ¨C/+2 is severely inhibited
