Abolition of DNA recognition site resistance to the restriction endonuclease EcoRII
Biomed Biochim Acta.
1988.
Abstract
The EcoRII recognition sites 5'-CCATGG-3' which occur three times in T3 DNA are refractory to this restriction endonuclease. However, these sites are specifically cleaved by EcoRII when a second, susceptible DNA species (pBR 322, phage lambda) is present.
