Solitary restriction endonucleases in prokaryotic genomes
Prokaryotic restriction-modification (R-M) systems defend the host cell from the invasion of a foreign DNA. They comprise two enzymatic activities: specific DNA cleavage activity and DNA methylation activity preventing cleavage. Typically, these activities are provided by two separate enzymes: a DNA methyltransferase (MTase) and a restriction endonuclease (RE). In the absence of a corresponding...
متن کاملPhysical Mapping of Bacterial Genomes
The use of physical maps for the description and comparison of bacterial genomes has dramatically increased in the last few years with the advent of powerful tools for the construction of physical maps of large DNA molecules. The availability of restriction enzymes that cut whole bacterial genomes only a few times together with the use of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to resolve and size the...

متن کاملEpigenetic Segregation of Microbial Genomes from Complex Samples Using Restriction Endonucleases HpaII and McrB
We describe continuing work to develop restriction endonucleases as tools to enrich targeted genomes of interest from diverse populations. Two approaches were developed in parallel to segregate genomic DNA based on cytosine methylation. First, the methyl-sensitive endonuclease HpaII was used to bind non-CG methylated DNA. Second, a truncated fragment of McrB was used to bind CpG methylated DNA....
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 ...
