The 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 ...
متن کاملPreparation and properties of insolubilized restriction endonucleases.
Type II restriction endonucleases Bam HI and Eco RI were covalently coupled to Sepharose. These insolubilized enzymes generated fragment patterns for several viral DNAs identical to those produced by the respective free enzymes. Conditions for optimal activity were similar for both bound and unbound forms of the enzymes. Insolubilization improved thermal stability of Bam HI and Eco RI. The boun...
متن کاملRecognition Sequences in the Restriction Endonucleases
The nature of specific protein-nucleic acid interaction between restriction endonucleases (RE) and their recognition sequences (RS) was studied by bioinformatics methods. It was found that the frequency of 5-6 residue long RS-like oligonucleotides is unexpectedly high in the nucleic acid sequence of the corresponding RE (p<0.05 and p<0.001 respectively, n=7). There is an extensive conservation ...
متن کاملRestriction Endonucleases: Molecular Cloning and Beyond | NEB
The sequence-specific DNA cleavage activity of restriction endonucleases (REases), combined with other enzymatic activities that amplify and ligate nucleic acids, have enabled modern molecular biology. After more than half a century of research and development, the applications of REases have evolved from the cloning of exogenous DNA and genome mapping to more sophisticated applications, such a...
متن کاملThe reactions of the EcoRi and other restriction endonucleases.
The reaction of the EcoRI restriction endonuclease was studied with both the plasmid pMB9 and DNA from bacteriophage lambda as the substrates. With both circular and linear DNA molecules, the only reaction catalysed by the EcoRI restriction endonuclease was the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond within one strand of the recognition site on the DNA duplex. The cleavage of both strands of the ...
