In this report, we describe a series of procedures to assay the function of fusion genes in Escherichia coli and the specific application to the carboxy-terminal third of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA-binding protein ICP8. E. coli cells containing the cloned HSV-1 BamHI G fragment with the HSV-1 BamHI-G-V site, map unit 0.388, nearest the tet promoter in pBR322 synthesized an active product containing a portion of ICP8. The new product induced phenotypic alterations in recipient hosts that were measurable and stable yet limited to the stability of the plasmid. The corresponding cloned DNA from the characterized HSV-1 DNA-binding protein mutant tsHA1 exhibited a predictable temperature-sensitive phenotype. Screening procedures based on the loss of induction of the parental plasmid-induced phenotype in E. coli cells allowed us to select additional mutations. One of these, which conferred a phenotype different from that of tsHA1, was transferred to the viral genome by marker transfer techniques. We suggest that any mutant could be isolated in any sequence, provided that the wild-type coding sequences induce alterations in E. coli cells. The observed alterations should have relevance in determining the mode of action of the protein in its normal environment.
