基于XcmⅠ酶切的高效TA克隆载体的构建

目的：制备基于XcmⅠ酶切的高效TA克隆载体,并检测其克隆PCR产物的效果。方法：设计一对互补配对的寡核苷酸,经过变性及退火后插入质粒pUC19的多克隆位点,从而在该多克隆位点中引入2个XcmⅠ酶切位点,用XcmⅠ酶切后即获得含有3’突出T碱基的T载体;为了提高该T载体的克隆效率,优化了2个XcmⅠ酶切位点之间的碱基数目,排除了载体自连产生白色克隆的可能性,使假阳性大大减少;此外,为了便于完全酶切与未完全酶切载体的分离,在2个XcmⅠ之间插入了一段无关DNA片段。结果：改进得到的T载体可以有效克隆PCR产物,其阳性克隆率可达95％。结论：构建了基于XcmⅠ酶切的TA克隆载体,经过改进的T载体具有很高的克隆效率。

猴脑线粒体DNA提取及限制性内切酶分析

本文用冷碱法从2只恒河猴和1只食蟹猴的脑组织中提取mtDNA,最后的得率大约为0.7μgmtDNA/g脑组织,是肝脏组织得率的1/3左右。与肝脏组织相比较,从脑组织中提取mtDNA有以下优点:1.匀浆方便。2.样品中蛋白杂质少,容易彻底抽提去除蛋白质。3.大分子RNA杂质极少,不经Sepharose-4B柱或RNawe处理,就可得到较纯的样品。加之哺乳动物脑的体积较大,哺乳动物脑组织不失为提取mtDNA的一个有用的组织来源。经16种限制性内切酶分析,并与来自同一个体肝脏组织的mtDNA比较,结果进一步证实,mtDNA无组织特异性。对12岁以上老年猴脑mtDNA的分析表明,在衰老中,动物mtDNA的序列可能没有变化,甲基化程度也无显著增高。     

A site-specific endonuclease from Caulobacter crescentus CB-13: restriction endonuclease CcrI

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.     

SruI restriction endonuclease from Selenomonas ruminantium

Abstract Sru I, specific restriction endonuclease, has been characterized from Selenomonas ruminantium isolated from the rumen of fallow deer. Results from the study demonstrate that S. ruminantium 18D possesses a type II restriction endonuclease, which recognizes the sequence 5'-TTT↓AAA-3'. The recognition sequence of Sru I was identified using digestions on pBR322, pBR328, pUC18, M13mp18RF, pACYC184 and λDNA. The cleavage patterns obtained were compared with computer-derived data. Sru I recognises the palindromic hexanucleotide sequence and cleaves DNA after the third T in the sequence, producing blunt ends. The purification and characterization of restriction endonuclease Sru I presented here is the first described for Selenomonas ruminantium spp. and demonstrates that this microorganism pocesses a DNA-cleaving enzyme with the same specificity as Dra I or Aha III.     

A new estimate of sequence divergence of mitochondrial DNA using restriction endonuclease mappings

Summary A new estimate of the sequence divergence of mitochondrial DNA in related species using restriction enzyme maps is constructed. The estimate is derived assuming a simple Posisson-like model for the evolutionary process and is chosen to maximize an expression which is a reasonable approximation to the true likelihood of the restriction map data. Using this estimate, four sets of mitochondrial DNA data are analyzed and discussed.     

Characterization of restriction endonuclease AjoI from Acinetobacter johnsonii

Geographically diverse Australian isolates of Melissococcus pluton exhibit minimal genotypic diversity by restriction endonuclease analysis

Melissococcus pluton, the causative agent of European foulbrood is an economically significant disease of honey bees (Apis mellifera) across most regions of the world and is prevalent throughout most states of Australia. 49 Isolates of M. pluton recovered from diseased colonies or honey samples in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria were compared using SDS-PAGE, Western immunoblotting and restriction endonuclease analyses. DNA profiles of all 49 geographically diverse isolates showed remarkably similar AluI profiles although four isolates (one each from Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria) displayed minor profile variations compared to AluI patterns of all other isolates. DNA from a subset of the 49 Australian and three isolates from the United Kingdom were digested separately with the restriction endonucleases CfoI, RsaI and DraI. Restriction endonuclease fragment patterns generated using these enzymes were also similar although minor variations were noted. SDS-PAGE of whole cell proteins from 13 of the 49 isolates from different states of Australia, including the four isolates which displayed minor profile variations (AluI) produced indistinguishable patterns. Major immunoreactive proteins of approximate molecular masses of 21, 24, 28, 30, 36, 40, 44, 56, 60, 71, 79 and 95 kDa were observed in immunoblots of whole cell lysates of 22 of the 49 isolates and reacted with rabbit hyperimmune antibodies raised against M. pluton whole cells. Neither SDS-PAGE or immunoblotting was capable of distinguishing differences between geographically diverse isolates of M. pluton. Collectively these data confirm that Australian isolates of M. pluton are genetically homogeneous and that this species may be clonal. Plasmid DNA was not detected in whole cell DNA profiles of any isolate resolved using agarose gel electrophoresis.     

Characterization of restriction endonuclease BfrBI from Bacteroides fragilis strains BE3 and AIP 10006

Purification and properties of a site-specific restriction endonuclease AaaI from Acetobacter aceti subsp. aceti No. 1023

Abstract A type II restriction endonuclease, named Aaa I, was purified from Acetobacter aceti subsp. aceti No. 1023. The optimum pH and temperature were determined to be 8.5 and 37°C, respectively. The enzyme activity was stimulated by the addition of either NaCl or KCl and their optimum concentrations were 100 mM for both cations. Aaa I recognized the hexanucleotide sequence and cleaved it at the positions indicated by the arrows. Aaa I was an isoschizomer of Xma III from Xanthomonas malvacaerum and Eco 52I from Escherichia coli .     

Kinetics of circular DNA molecule digestion by restriction endonuclease Computation of kinetic constants from time dependence of fragment concentrations

A model for kinetics of circular substrate cleavage by restriction endonuclease was formulated. The aim of the analysis of the model was to extract kinetic constants for all target sites from time-dependence of fragment concentration in reaction products. That was proved to be possible for molecules with an odd number of fragments only. A symmetry of the molecules with an even number of fragment is the cause. A solution for molecules with an odd number of fragments was found and methods for dealing with the other molecules were suggested.Preliminary results were presented at VIIth CMEA Symposium Biophysics of Nucleic Acids and Proteins, Brno (Czechoslovakia) December 2–6, 1985.     

Quantitative evaluation of metal ion binding to PvuII restriction endonuclease

19 F NMR spectroscopy have been applied to evaluate metal ion binding by the representative PvuII endonuclease in the absence of substrate. In separate experiments, ITC data demonstrate that PvuII endonuclease binds 2.16 Mn(II) ions and 2.05 Ca(II) metal ions in each monomer active site with K _d values of  ≈ 1 mM. While neither calorimetry nor protein NMR spectroscopy is directly sensitive to Mg(II) binding to the enzyme, Mn(II) competes with Mg(II) for common sites(s) on PvuII endonuclease. Substitution of the conserved active site carboxylate Glu68 with Ala resulted in a loss of affinity for both equivalents of both Ca(II) and Mn(II). Interestingly, the active site mutant D58A retained an affinity for Mn(II) with K _d  ≈ 2 mM. Mn(II) paramagnetic broadening in ¹⁹F spectra of wild-type and mutant 3-fluorotyrosine PvuII endonucleases are consistent with ITC results. Chemical shift analysis of 3-fluorotyrosine mutant enzymes is consistent with a perturbed conformation for D58A. Therefore, free PvuII endonuclease binds metal ions, and metal ion binding can precede DNA binding. Further, while Glu68 is critical to metal ion binding, Asp58 does not appear to be critical to the binding of at least one metal ion and appears to also have a role in structure. These findings provide impetus for exploring the roles of multiple metal ions in the structure and function of this representative endonuclease. Received: 30 March 1999 / Accepted: 28 September 1999
