BaeI, another unusual BcgI-like restriction endonuclease.
BcgI and BcgI-like restriction endonucleases have a very distinct characteristic which causes them to differ from the other classified restriction enzymes; they all cleave double-stranded DNA specifically on both sides of the recognition sequence to excise a short DNA fragment including the recognition sites. Here we report a new BcgI-like restriction endonuclease, BaeI, isolated from Bacillus ...
متن کاملConcerted action at eight phosphodiester bonds by the BcgI restriction endonuclease
The BcgI endonuclease exemplifies a subset of restriction enzymes, the Type IIB class, which make two double-strand breaks (DSBs) at each copy of their recognition sequence, one either side of the site, to excise the sequence from the remainder of the DNA. In this study, we show that BcgI is essentially inactive when bound to a single site and that to cleave a DNA with one copy of its recogniti...
متن کاملChimeric restriction endonuclease.
Fok I restriction endonuclease recognizes the nonpalindromic pentadeoxyribonucleotide 5'-GGATG-3'.5'-CATCC-3' in duplex DNA and cleaves 9 and 13 nt away from the recognition site. Recently, we reported the presence of two distinct and separable domains within this enzyme: one for the sequence-specific recognition of DNA (the DNA-binding domain) and the other for the endonuclease activity (the c...
متن کاملUnusual target site disruption by the rare-cutting HNH restriction endonuclease PacI.
The crystal structure of the rare-cutting HNH restriction endonuclease PacI in complex with its eight-base-pair target recognition sequence 5'-TTAATTAA-3' has been determined to 1.9 A resolution. The enzyme forms an extended homodimer, with each subunit containing two zinc-bound motifs surrounding a betabetaalpha-metal catalytic site. The latter is unusual in that a tyrosine residue likely init...
متن کاملRestriction glycosylases: involvement of endonuclease activities in the restriction process
All restriction enzymes examined are phosphodiesterases generating 3'-OH and 5'-P ends, but one restriction enzyme (restriction glycosylase) excises unmethylated bases from its recognition sequence. Whether its restriction activity involves endonucleolytic cleavage remains unclear. One report on this enzyme, R.PabI from a hyperthermophile, ascribed the breakage to high temperature while another...
