Esp1396I restriction-modification system: structural organization and mode of regulation.
Esp1396I restriction-modification (RM) system recognizes an interrupted palindromic DNA sequence 5'-CCA(N)(5)TGG-3'. The Esp1396I RM system was found to reside on pEsp1396, a 5.6 kb plasmid naturally occurring in Enterobacter sp. strain RFL1396. The nucleotide sequence of the entire 5622 bp pEsp1396 plasmid was determined on both strands. Identified genes for DNA methyltransferase (esp1396IM) a...
متن کاملTranscription regulation of restriction-modification system Esp1396I
The convergently transcribed restriction (R) and methylase (M) genes of the Restriction-Modification system Esp1396I are tightly regulated by a controller (C) protein that forms part of the CR operon. We have mapped the transcriptional start sites from each promoter and examined the regulatory role of C.Esp1396I in vivo and in vitro. C-protein binding at the CR and M promoters was analyzed by D...
متن کاملStructural analysis of DNA–protein complexes regulating the restriction–modification system Esp1396I
The controller protein of the type II restriction-modification (RM) system Esp1396I binds to three distinct DNA operator sequences upstream of the methyltransferase and endonuclease genes in order to regulate their expression. Previous biophysical and crystallographic studies have shown molecular details of how the controller protein binds to the operator sites with very different affinities. H...
متن کاملTranscription regulation of restriction-modification system Ecl18kI
Restriction-modification (R-M) system Ecl18kI is representative of R-M systems whose coordinated transcription is achieved through a separate DNA-binding domain of the methyltransferase. M.Ecl18kI recognizes an operator sequence located in the noncoding region that separates the divergently transcribed R and M genes. Here we show that, contrary to previous predictions, the two ecl18kI promoters...
متن کاملGenetic organization of the KpnI restriction--modification system.
The KpnI restriction-modification (KpnI RM) system was previously cloned and expressed in E. coli. The nucleotide sequences of the KpnI endonuclease (R.KpnI) and methylase (M. KpnI) genes have now been determined. The sequence of the amino acid residues predicted from the endonuclease gene DNA sequence and the sequence of the first 12 NH2-terminal amino acids determined from the purified endonu...
