A new Type II restriction endonuclease XcyI, purified from Xanthomonas cyanopsidis 13D5, is an isoschizomer of SmaI and XmaI that cleaves at the nucleotide sequence 5'-C decreases CCGGG-3' of double-stranded DNA. The single restriction activity present in this strain permits rapid purification of 8000 units of cleavage activity from 10 g of freshly harvested cells. The resulting XcyI preparation is free of contaminating nuclease activities that interfere with in vitro manipulation of DNA. 相似文献
A specific endonuclease, Sau 3AI, has been partially purified from Staphylococcus aureus strain 3A by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The enzyme cleaves adenovirus type 5 DNA many times, SV40 DNA eight times but does not cleave double-stranded phi X174 DNA. It recognizes the sequence (see article) and cleaves as indicated by the arrows. Evidence is presented that this enzyme plays a role in the biological restriction-modification system of Staphylococcus aureus strain 3A. 相似文献

This enzyme cleaves bacteriophage lambda DNA and Simian virus 40 DNA at one site, adenovirus-2 DNA at more than nine sites, but it does not cleave phi X174 DNA nor plasmid pBR322 DNA. This enzyme recognizes the sequence (formula; see text) and cuts at the sites indicated by the arrows. 相似文献
The pathogenic effect of cotton blight disease is influenced by Xanthomonas malvacearum toxin. The toxin has been highly purified and the interaction between the toxin and the energy-generating system of mitochondria has been characterized. The results show that the toxin inhibits the ATP-ADP translocase system of the mitochondria. 相似文献
A restriction endonuclease, SalI, has been partially purified from Streptomyces albus G. This enzyme cleaves adenovirus-2 DNA at three sites, bacteriophage λ DNA at two sites, but does not cleave simian virus 40 DNA or φX174 DNA. It recognizes the sequence and cuts at the sites indicated by the arrows. An endonuclease (XamI) with similar specificity has also been isolated from Xanthomonas amaranthicola. 相似文献
A site-specific restriction endonuclease has been isolated from Staphylococcus aureus PS 96. This enzyme, Sau96 I, recognizes the DNA sequence 5'--G-G-N-C-C--3' and cleaves as indicated by the arrows. The enzyme 3'--C-C-N-G-G--5' cleaves adenovirus type 5 and lambda DNA many times, SV40 DNA 10 times and 0X174 RF DNA 2 times. Evidence is presented that the enzyme is involved in biological restriction-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
An endonuclease from Xanthomonas oryzae pathovar oryzae KACC 10331, XorII, was recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli using a T7 system. XorII was purified using a combination of ion exchange and immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). An optimized washing protocol was carried out on an IMAC in order to obtain a high purity product. The final amount of purified XorII was approximately 2.5 mg/L of LB medium. The purified recombinant XorII was functional and showed the same cleavage pattern as PvuI. The enzyme activity tested the highest at 25 degrees in 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM dithiothreitol at a pH of 7.9. 相似文献
A novel restriction-modification (R-M) system, designated as xveIIRM, from chromosomal DNA of the Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria strain 7-1 (Xcv7-1) was cloned and characterized. The xveIIRM genes involved in this R-M system are aligned in a tail-to-tail orientation and overlapped by 12 base pairs. XveII methyltransferase gene could encode a 299-amino acid protein (M.XveII) with an estimated mass of 33.7 kDa and was classified to be a member of beta-class of m4C-MTase. M.XveII methylates the second cytosine of the 5'-CCCGGG-3' recognition sequence. The predicted amino acid sequence of the intact XveII endonuclease shared 41.9% identity with SmaI. However, a premature TAA translation termination codon was found in the open reading frame of xveIIR and expected to encode an 18.3 kDa truncated protein. The sequence data are consistent with observation of this study that no SmaI-like restriction activity could be detected in the cell extract of Xcv7-1. 相似文献
A site-specific restriction endonuclease (CcrI) has been identified from Caulobacter crescentus CB-13. This enzyme has been purified to homogeneity and the cleavage patterns with various DNAs and sequence data show that CcrI recognizes the same sequence as the XhoI restriction endonuclease (5′-C↓-T-C-G-A-G-3′). Ccr has an absolute requirement for magnesium ions with an optimum concentration of 4 mM. The enzyme is optimally active at pH 8.0 and is stable up to 70°C. CcrI has a molecular weight of 65300 and exists as a monomer in its native state. Most of the physical characteristics observed for CcrI were similar to those observed for XhoI. Kinetic studies on CcrI and XhoI suggest that the enzymes interact with λ DNA in the same manner; however, with ?X-174 R.F. DNA, CcrI has a greater affinity for the supercoiled molecule than XhoI. 相似文献
An endonuclease from Xanthomonas oryzae pathovar oryzae (Xoo) KACC10331, XorKII, was recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli by applying the stationary state induction method, which was necessary to prevent the unwanted lysis of E. coli cells. XorKII was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography on an FPLC system. The yield was 3.5 mg of XorKII per liter of LB medium. The purified recombinant XorKII showed that it recognized and cleaved to the same site as PstI. It behaved as a dimer as evidenced by the size exclusion chromatography. The specific activity of the purified XorKII was determined to be 31,300 U/mg. The enzyme activity was monitored by cleaving lambda DNA or YEp24 plasmid as substrates. The enzyme was the most active at 10 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.0, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol at 37 °C. XorKII was easily inactivated by heating at 65 °C for 5 min, but retained most of the original activity after incubation at 37 °C for 24 h. 相似文献
A restriction endonuclease, BstPI, was purified from a strain of B. stearothermophilus, and its cleavage specificity was determined. The enzyme cleaves at palindromic sites of the general structure: (Formula: see text) where N.N' can be any base pair. It produces phosphorylated 5'-termini which are single stranded over a length of 5 nucleotides. Ends generated by cleavage with BstPI can be rejoined by DNA ligase. 相似文献
EndoR . NgoII, a class II restriction endonuclease isolated from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. We were able to separate it from another restriction endonuclease of N. gonorrhoeae, NgoI, by phosphocellulose chromatography. NgoII is an isoschizomer of HaeIII, a restriction endonuclease of Haemophilus aegyptius, and was found to recognize the deoxyribonucleic acid nucleotide base sequence GGCC. NgoII was able to digest phage lambda deoxyribonucleic acid over a wide pH range, with optimal activity at pH 8.5. The enzyme has an absolute requirement for Mg2+; maximal enzyme activity was observed at 1 mM Mg2+. The active enzyme has a molecular weight of 65,000 and appears to be composed of six subunits of identical molecular weight (11,000). No methylase activity could be detected in the purified enzyme preparation. 相似文献
