A second site specific endonuclease with novel specificity has been purified from Thermus thermophilus strain 111 and named Tth111II. The enzyme is active at temperature up to 80 degrees C and requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for endonuclease activity. Tth111II cleaves phi X174RFDNA into 11 fragments and lambda NA into more than 25 fragments. From the 5'-terminal sequences of TthlllII fragments of phi X174RFDNA determined by the two dimensional homochromatography and the survey on nucleotide sequence of phi X174RFDNA, it was concluded that Tth111II recognizes the DNA sequence (see former index) and cleaves the sites as indicated by the arrows. 相似文献

Three restriction endonucleases, Sp1I, Sp1II and Sp1III have been purified partially from Spirulina platensis subspecies siamese and named. Sp1I cleaves bacteriophage lambda DNA at one site, phi X 174 RF DNA at two sites, but does not cleave pBR322 DNA. This enzyme recognizes the sequence 5'CGTACG3' 3'GCATCG5' and cuts the site indicated by the arrows. Sp1II is an isoschizomer of Tth111I and Sp1III is an isoschizomer of HaeIII. 相似文献

We previously reported that Thermus thermophilus 111 contained two restriction enzymes, Tth111 I and Tth111 II. The former does not cleave phi X174RFDNA and the latter does. We have now found another endonuclease activity able to cleave phi X174RFDNA in the cell extract of T. thermophilus 111. The protein with this activity was purified in a homogeneous state by chromatography on cellulose phosphate, heparin-Sepharose 4B and hydroxylapatite, successively. However, this endonuclease activity was always accompanied with Tth111 I activity during the purification procedure and the purified protein also showed a strong Tth111 I activity, suggesting that the Tth111 I activity and the phi X174RFDNA-cleaving activity reside in a single molecule. The phi X174RFDNA-cleaving activity was enhanced more strongly with Mn2+ than with Mg2+ and seemed to be attributable to a relaxed specificity of Tth111 I activity as seen in the cases of EcoRI* and BamHI* Thus we designated the phi X174RFDNA-cleaving activity Tth111 I*. The molecular weight of the protein with both Tth111 I and Tth111 I* activities was determined to be about 76,000 by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column and 39,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting the enzyme to be a dimer consisting of identical polypeptide chains. The phi X174RFDNA sequences surrounding Tth111 I* cuts were determined by the chain terminator method of Sanger et al. The results confirmed that Tth111 I* recognized a degenerated form of the Tth111 I recognition sequence, i.e., a sequence such that one of the specified nucleotides in the Tth111 I recognition sequence, 5'GACNNNGTC3', was substituted with N (N stands for any of A, G, C, and T), such as 5'NACNNNGTC3', 5'GACNNNNTC3', 5'GACNNNGNC, and so on (arrows indicate cleavage sites). 相似文献

Recognition sequence of the dam methylase of Escherichia coli K12 and mode of cleavage of Dpn I endonuclease. 总被引:72,自引:0,他引:72
The recognition sequence for the dam methylase of Escherichia coli K12 has been determined directly by use of in vivo methylated ColE1 DNA or DNA methylated in vitro with purified enzyme. The methylase recognizes the symmetric tetranucleotide d(pG-A-T-C) and introduces two methyl groups per site in duplex DNA with the product of methylation being 6-methylaminopurine. This work has also demonstrated that Dpn I restriction endonuclease cleaves on the 3' side of the modified adenine within the methylated sequence to yield DNA fragments possessing fully base-paired termini. All sequences in ColE1 DNA methylated by the dam enzyme are subject to double strand cleavage by Dpn I endonuclease. Therefore, this restriction enzyme can be employed for mapping the location of sequences possessing the dam modification. 相似文献

A type II restriction endonuclease Xmn I with a novel site specificity has been isolated from Xanthomonas manihotis. Xmn I does not cleave SV40 DNA, but cleaves phi X174 DNA into three fragments, which constitute 76.61%, 18.08% and 5.31% of the total length of 5386 base pairs, and cleaves pBR322 DNA into two fragments of 55.71% and 44.29% of the entire 4362 base pairs. The nucleotide sequences around the cleavage sites made by Xmn I are not exactly homologous, but they have a common sequence of 5' GAANNNNTTC 3' according to a simple computer program analysis on nucleotide sequences of phi X174 DNA, pBR322 DNA and SV40 DNA. The results suggest that the cleavage site of Xmn I is located within its recognition sequence of 5' GAANNNNTTC 3'. 相似文献

Azospirillum brasilense, A. amazonense, and A. lipoferum strains were screened for restriction endonucleases using phage lambda DNA. The extract of A. brasilense 29711 cleaved lambda DNA into specific fragments. It was concluded that this strain possesses a class II restriction endonuclease which was named AbrI. AbrI has a single recognition site on lambda DNA at position of approx. 33 500 bp. AbrI was characterized as an isoschizomer of XhoI, which cuts lambda DNA at 33 498 bp and cleaves double-stranded DNA at the sequence 5'-C TCGAG-3'. From other Azospirilla strains only A. amazonense QRZ42 extracts (AamI activity) cleaved DNA into specific fragments under certain conditions. 相似文献

A plasmid-encoded factor that regulates the expression of the colicin E1 gene was found in molecular cloning experiments. The 2,294-base-pair AvaII fragment of the colicin E1 plasmid (ColE1) carrying the colicin E1 structural gene and the promoter-operator region had the same information with respect to the repressibility and inducibility of colicin E1 synthesis as the original ColE1 plasmid. An operon fusion was constructed between the 204-bp fragment containing the colicin E1 promoter-operator and xylE, the structural gene for catechol 2,3-dioxygenase encoded on the TOL plasmid of Pseudomonas putida. The synthesis of the dioxygenase from the resulting plasmid occurred in recA+, but not in recA- cells and was derepressed in the recA lexA(Def) double mutant. These results indicate that the ColE1 plasmid has no repressor gene for colicin E1 synthesis and that the lexA protein functions as a repressor. Colicin E1 gene expression was adenosine 3',5'-phosphate (cAMP) dependent. Upon the removal of two PvuII fragments (2,000 bp in length) from the ColE1 plasmid, the induced synthesis of colicin E1 occurred in the adenylate-cyclase mutant even without cAMP. The 3,100-bp Tth111I fragment of the ColE1 plasmid cloned on pACYC177 restored the cAMP dependency of the deleted ColE1 plasmid. Since the deleted fragments correspond to the mobility region of ColE1, the cAMP dependency of the gene expression should be somehow related to the plasmid mobilization function. 相似文献

We isolated and characterized a new type II restriction endonuclease which recognizes the palindromic heptanucleotide sequence 5'-AGGWCCT-3' and cleaves double-stranded DNA after the first G in the sequence from a microorganism belonging to Streptomyces species. This enzyme cleaves adenovirus 2 DNA at eight sites, but does not cleave lambda phage, pBR322, pUC18 and 19, M13mp18 and 19, SV40, ColE1 and phi X174 DNAs. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence at the cleavage site of the restriction endonuclease isolated from Arthrobacter luteus (Alu) has been determined. The endonuclease cleaves at the center of a palindromic tetranucleotide sequence to give even-ended duplex DNA fragments phosphorylated at the 5'-end. The endonuclease cleaves SV40 form I DNA into 32 fragments. The order and sizes of these fragments have been determined to provide an Alu cleavage map of the SV40 genome. 相似文献

The Nu1 subunit of bacteriophage lambda terminase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The maturation and packaging of bacteriophage lambda DNA are catalyzed by the phage terminase enzyme. Terminase is composed of two protein subunits, gpNu1 and gpA. The holoenzyme is multifunctional in vitro; it binds to and cleaves lambda DNA at the cos site (where cos represents cohesive-end site), packages DNA into lambda proheads, and is also a DNA-dependent ATPase. The genes of the two subunits have been cloned separately into powerful expression vectors which allow for very high levels of protein overproduction. The gpNu1 protein has been purified to homogeneity and has a monomeric molecular weight of 21,200, in close agreement with the Mr of 20,444 expected from its amino acid sequence. Both gel filtration and sedimentation velocity centrifugation indicate that the native gpNu1 protein exists as a Mr greater than 500,000 aggregate. The sequence of the first 20 amino acids and the overall composition both match those predicted by the nucleotide sequence of the Nu1 gene. Purified gpNu1 is able to complement gpA-containing extracts in both lambda DNA packaging and cos cleavage assays. The Nu1 gene amino acid sequence predicts DNA binding by the protein, and gpNu1 does show specific binding to lambda DNA by filter binding assays. Also, as predicted from its sequence, gpNu1 exhibits ATPase activity; but in contrast to the holoenzyme, this activity is DNA-independent. 相似文献

A site-specific endonuclease Bst 4.4I was isolated from the cell extract of Bacillus stearothermophilus 4.4 and partially purified by chromatography on Ultragel AcA-44 and heparin-Sepharose. It was shown that the endonuclease cleaves lambda and M13 DNA yielding distinct fragments just as endonucleases of II and III types but, in contrast to them can produce two two-strand cuts separated with 30 to 32 nucleotides in the region of the recognition site. 相似文献

A plaque-forming lambdaimm434 bacteriophage carrying the entire genome of colicinogenic factor E1 has been isolated and characterized. This phage, lambdaimm434ColE1, can lysogenize as a stable plasmid within a recombination-deficient Escherichia coli cell that lacks the normal attachment site for lambda phage. Furthermore, it has been found that lambdaimm434ColE1 phage carrying amber mutations in the O and P genes of the lambda genome, i.e., lambdaimm434OamPamColE1, behaves as a plaque-forming phage, and this finding suggests that the ColE1 factor DNA permits replication of the DNA of the plaque-forming phage. 相似文献

A family of high-copy-number plasmid vectors with single end-label sites for rapid nucleotide sequencing 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
A set of plasmid vectors was developed which allows fast sequencing by the chemical degradation method. These high-copy-number vectors are derivatives of the plasmid pUC8 containing different multiple-purpose cloning sites flanked by unique recognition sequences for the restriction enzymes BstEII, Tth111I and Eco81I as sites for end-labelling DNA. Due to their partially asymmetric recognition sequences, each of these three restriction sites can be singly end-labelled by a filling-in reaction with selected nucleotides. This allows easy single end-labelling of any cloned DNA fragment for sequencing by the chemical degradation method without any isolation and purification step after the labelling reaction. In addition, the nucleotide sequence of the complementary strand from the same end can be determined by the dideoxy chain termination procedure using the universal M13 primers. In most of the new vectors, the reading frame of the lacZ' gene is retained, allowing identification of cloned fragments. 相似文献

A novel class-II restriction endonuclease designated SwaI was purified from Staphylococcus warneri. This enzyme cleaves adenovirus 2 DNA, SV40 DNA and M13mp7 at one site each, but does not cleave lambda, PhiX174, pBR322 or pBR328 DNA. SwaI recognizes the octanucleotide sequence 5'-ATTTAAAT-3', cleaving in the center of the recognition sequence creating blunt ended DNA fragments. SwaI was used to digest chromosomal DNA from various microorganisms and human cells. 相似文献

An in vitro recombinant ColE1-cos lambda deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule, pKY96, has 70% of the length of lambda phage DNA. The process of lambda phage-mediated transduction of pKY96 generated a small amount of transducing phage particles containing ColE1-cos lambda DNA molecules of 80 or 101% of the length of lambda phage DNA, in addition to those containing original pKY96 DNA molecules. The newly isolated larger plasmid DNAs were transduced 100 times more efficiently than pKY96 DNA. Their structures were compared with that of a prototype pKY96 DNA, and the mechanism of the formation of these molecules is discussed. 相似文献

Yeast thioredoxin genes 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Z R Gan 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1991,266(3):1692-1696
Based on the conserved protein sequence of thioredoxins from yeast and other organisms, two primers were synthesized for polymerase chain reaction of yeast genomic DNA. A 34-base pair (bp) sequence around the active site of yeast thioredoxin was obtained from the polymerase chain reaction product. This specific sequence was used as a probe in Southern blot analysis of total yeast genomic DNA digested with various restriction enzymes. Under conditions of high stringency, more than one DNA species hybridized with the probe, suggesting that more than one gene encodes yeast genomic library. Two Sau3A1 fragments, 825 and 2045 bp, respectively, from two different clones were cloned into pUC13. Sequence analysis of these fragments gave two different open reading frames without introns. The 825-bp Sau3A1 fragment encodes a 103-amino acid residue protein named thioredoxin I. The 2045-bp Sau3A1 fragment contains a sequence encoding thioredoxin II which has 102 amino acid residues. This is the first report of the cloning and sequencing of eukaryotic thioredoxin genes from any source. Both yeast thioredoxins contain a dithiol active site sequence, Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys. Thioredoxins I and II show 78% amino acid sequence identity. They display more amino acid sequence similarity with mammalian thioredoxin than with Escherichia coli and plant chloroplast thioredoxins. 相似文献
