Abstract: | Pael, a new restriction endonuclease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical strain was isolated and characterized. It recognizes and cleaves the sequence 5-GCATGC-3 generating DNA fragments with 3-tetranucleotide sticky ends. DNAs of pBR322, SV40 and bacteriophage have one, two and six Pael recognition sites, respectively.Seventytwo strains of Pseudomonas, Clostridium, Escherichia coli, Shigella, Proteus and Saccharomyces were screened for the presence of site-specific endonucleases. Here we describe the Pael restriction enzyme found in Pseudomonas aeruginosa; other data will be published elsewhere.Earlier Hinkle and Miller isolated from P. aeruginosa a PaeR7 restriction endonuclease recognizing and cleaving a sequence 5-CTCGAG-3 (1). Sequence analysis of DNAs cleaved by PaeI shows that the enzyme is the isoschizomer of SphI (2). |
