A type II restriction endonuclease with an eight nucleotide specificity from Streptomyces fimbriatus.

چکیده
A new site-specific endonuclease, Sfi I, has been isolated from Streptomyces fimbriatus . This is the first report of a type II restriction endonuclease whose recognition specificity requires eight nucleotides. Sfi I cleaves the sequence, GGCCNNNN / NGGCC , symmetrically to produce a three base, 3' extension.

Characterization of a site-specific restriction endonuclease from Streptomyces aureofaciens.
A new type II sequence-specific restriction endonuclease, SauI, was isolated from Streptomyces aureofaciens IKA18/4. The purified enzyme was free of contaminating exonuclease and phosphatase activities. SauI cleaved lambda DNA at two sites, but did not cleave pBR322, simian virus 40, or phi X174 DNA. SauI recognized the septanucleotide sequence 5'-CCTNAGG-3' and cleaved at the position indicate...
متن کاملCloning and expression in streptomyces lividans of antibiotic resistance genes derived from Escherichia coli.
Hybrid plasmids that replicate in both Escherichia coli and Streptomyces lividans were constructed in vitro by joining the E. coli-derived plasmid pACYC184 or pACYC177, at their BamHI or PstI restriction site, respectively, to S. lividans plasmid pSLP111. After introduction of the composite replicons into S. lividans by transformation, chloramphenicol (Cm) resistance encoded by pACYC184 and kan...
متن کاملCloning, expression in Escherichia coli and nucleotide sequence of a tetracycline-resistance gene from Streptomyces rimosus.
Determinants of tetracycline resistance have been cloned from two different tetracycline-producing industrial strains of Streptomyces into Streptomyces lividans using the plasmid vector pUT206. Three plasmids, pUT250 and pUT260 with a 9.5 and a 7.5 kb insert respectively of Streptomyces rimosus DNA, and pUT270 with a 14.0 kb insert of Streptomyces aureofaciens DNA, conferring resistance to tetr...
متن کاملIsolation, Identification and Screening of Saharan Actinomycete Strain Streptomyces fimbriatus AC31 Endowed with Antimicrobial Activity
The increasing global public health concern of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates exploration of natural antimicrobial agents as potential alternatives. This study aims to investigate antimicrobial activities of Saharan actinomycetes, with specific focus on the strain Streptomyces fimbriatus AC31, that holds promising potential as an alternative to combat AMR. In this context, 32 actin...
متن کاملThe cleavage site of the restriction endonuclease Ava II.
We have determined that the type II restriction enzyme Ava II, isolated from Anabaena variabilis, recognizes and cuts the sequence (formula: see article). The eight Ava II sites of pBR322 have been mapped, as well as a unique site for Ava I.
