Restriction and modification enzymes and their recognition sequences
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the last compilation of restriction endonucleases (110), more than 30 Type II restriction endonucleases have been discovered, including some valuable new specificities. These include Acyl (GPuCGPyC), Ddel (CTNAG), Fnu4HI (GCNGC), Rsal (GTAC), SphI (GCAGTC), and XmalH (CGGCCG). In addition, a number of new isoschizomers have been discovered and further information about the recognition sequences of some old entries is now available. AvaX is renamed AvaHI.

Type I restriction enzymes and their relatives
Type I restriction enzymes (REases) are large pentameric proteins with separate restriction (R), methylation (M) and DNA sequence-recognition (S) subunits. They were the first REases to be discovered and purified, but unlike the enormously useful Type II REases, they have yet to find a place in the enzymatic toolbox of molecular biologists. Type I enzymes have been difficult to characterize, bu...
متن کاملIdentification of type II restriction and modification systems in Helicobacter pylori reveals their substantial diversity among strains.
A total of 22 type II restriction endonucleases with 18 distinct specificities have been identified in six Helicobacter pylori strains. Among these 18 specificities are three completely new endonucleases, Hpy178III, Hpy99I, and Hpy188I, that specifically cleave DNA at TCNNGA, CGWCG, and TCNGA sites, respectively. The set of endonucleases identified in each strain varies, but all have four- or f...
متن کاملType I restriction systems: sophisticated molecular machines (a legacy of Bertani and Weigle).
Restriction enzymes are well known as reagents widely used by molecular biologists for genetic manipulation and analysis, but these reagents represent only one class (type II) of a wider range of enzymes that recognize specific nucleotide sequences in DNA molecules and detect the provenance of the DNA on the basis of specific modifications to their target sequence. Type I restriction and modifi...
متن کاملThe recognition and modification sites for the bacterial type I restriction systems KpnAI, StySEAI, StySENI and StySGI.
Using an in vivo plasmid transformation method, we have determined the DNA sequences recognized by the KpnAI, StySEAI, StySENI and StySGI R-M systems from Klebsiella oxytoca strain M5a1, Salmonella eastbourne, Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella gelsenkirchen, respectively. These type I restriction-modification systems were originally identified using traditional phage assay, and described he...
متن کاملThe type IIB restriction endonucleases.
The endonucleases from the Type IIB restriction-modification systems differ from all other restriction enzymes. The Type IIB enzymes cleave both DNA strands at specified locations distant from their recognition sequences, like Type IIS nucleases, but they are unique in that they do so on both sides of the site, to liberate the site from the remainder of the DNA on a short duplex. The fact that ...
