Generation of DNA cleavage specificities of type II restriction endonucleases by reassortment of target recognition domains.
Type II restriction endonucleases (REases) cleave double-stranded DNA at specific sites within or close to their recognition sequences. Shortly after their discovery in 1970, REases have become one of the primary tools in molecular biology. However, the list of available specificities of type II REases is relatively short despite the extensive search for them in natural sources and multiple att...
متن کاملCleavage of adenine-modified functionalized DNA by type II restriction endonucleases
A set of 6 base-modified 2'-deoxyadenosine derivatives was incorporated to diverse DNA sequences by primer extension using Vent (exo-) polymerase and the influence of the modification on cleavage by diverse restriction endonucleases was studied. While 8-substituted (Br or methyl) adenine derivatives were well tolerated by the restriction enzymes and the corresponding sequences were cleaved, the...
متن کاملDiversity of type II restriction endonucleases that require two DNA recognition sites.
Orthodox Type IIP restriction endonucleases, which are commonly used in molecular biological work, recognize a single palindromic DNA recognition sequence and cleave within or near this sequence. Several new studies have reported on structural and biochemical peculiarities of restriction endonucleases that differ from the orthodox in that they require two copies of a particular DNA recognition ...
متن کاملBlock of cleavage of ultraviolet-irradiated DNA with restriction endonucleases.
pBR322/Ultraviolet irradiation/Restriction endonuclease/Pyrimidine dimer Plasmid pBR322 DNA was irradiated with ultraviolet light at 254 nm and digested with various restric tion endonucleases. Analyses of the products suggested that the pyrimidine dimers which would have been formed just across the cutting site (Acc I), at the opposite position of the cutting site (Hind III, Eco RI, Bam HI), a...
متن کاملEnzymatic Cleavage of Type II Restriction Endonucleases on the 2′-O-Methyl Nucleotide and Phosphorothioate Substituted DNA
The effects of nucleotide analogue substitution on the cleavage efficiencies of type II restriction endonucleases have been investigated. Six restriction endonucleases (EcoRV, SpeI, XbaI, XhoI, PstI and SphI) were investigated respectively regarding their cleavage when substrates were substituted by 2'-O-methyl nucleotide (2'-OMeN) and phosphorothioate (PS). Substitutions were made in the recog...
