Restriction endonucleases from Selenomonas ruminantium which recognize and cleave 5'-AT/TAAT-3'
Abstract
Two natural isolates from fallow-deer rumen identified as Selenomonas ruminantium were found to produce a restriction endonuclease which we called Sru4DI. This enzyme was isolated from cell extracts by phosphocellulose chromatography. Analysis of the Sru4DI recognition site showed that Sru4DI recognizes the hexanucleotide sequence 5'-AT/TAAT-3' generating 5'dinucleotide protruding ends upon cleavage and thus is a true isoschizomer of vspI, a restriction enzyme isolated from Vibrio sp.
