The present invention relates to: recombinant DNA encoding the SbfI restriction endonuclease as well as the SbfI methylase, and expression of the SbfI restriction endonuclease and SbfI methylase in E. coli cells containing the recombinant DNA; and methods for cloning the SbfI restriction gene (sbfIR) from Streptomyces species Bf-61 into E. coli by PCR. The method relied on primers based on DNA sequences predicted from amino acid sequences of the purified SbfI restriction endonuclease.

摘要:
The methylase selection method was used to clone the SnaBI methylase gene (snaBIM) from Sphaerotilus natans (ATCC 15291). An active SnaBI methylase was cloned in E. coli using pSnaBI-2, a pUC19 derivative containing two SnaBI sites. Because methylase and restriction genes are usually located alongside each other in a restriction-modification systems, efforts were made to clone the downstream DNA by inverse PCR. Inverse PCR cloned the missing portion of the SnaBI endonuclease and also identified a control, or C, protein. The two open reading frames snaBIR (ORF1) and snaBIC (ORF2) converged toward the SnaBI methylase gene (ORF). Attempts to establish a snaBIR-recombinant plasmid expressing the SnaBI endonuclease in E.coli modified with SnaBI methylase failed. Overexpression of the SnaBI endonuclease in E. coli required the use of the heterospecific BsaAI methylase.

摘要:
RsaI, a restriction enzyme from the bacterium Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides, recognizes the DNA sequence 5′-GTAC-3′. Because RsaI is commercially valuable, we sought to overproduce it by cloning the genes for RsaI and its accompanying, modification, enzyme. The ‘methylase-selection’ method, the customary procedure for cloning restriction and modification genes, was applied to RsaI. The method yielded clones containing the methylase gene (rsaIM), but none containing both the methylase gene and the restriction gene (rsaIR). Inverse-PCR was then used to recover sections of the DNA downstream of rsaIM. These sections were sequenced, and the sequences were joined in silico to reveal the gene organization of the RsaI R-M system. By comparing the coding potential of the DNA with the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified RsaI restriction enzyme, we discovered that the RsaI R and M genes, rather than being adjacent-the situation that pertains in most R-M systems-are separated by an intervening gene of unknown function. Based on this information, the rsaIR gene was cloned by PCR instead of methylase-selection. These new clones proved to be highly unstable, however, even in the presence of the rsaIM gene. Various attempts were made to stabilize the gene, but most met with failure. Stability was finally achieved by introducing a second methylase gene, mjaVM, to augment the protection provided by rsaIM, and by tightly controlling the expression of rsaIR using a special two-promoter, anti-sense transcription, expression vector.
