    摘要: Methods are provided for converting into a sequence specific strand specific and location specific DNA nicking endonuclease, a restriction endonuclease that recognizes an asymmetric DNA sequence, the endonuclease having two catalytic sites and one or more single sequence specific DNA-binding domains. In one embodiment the method requires inactivating one of the catalytic sites of the restriction endonuclease. In another embodiment, the restriction endonuclease is a dimer having a first and second subunit each comprising a sequence specific DNA binding domain, a catalytic site and a dimerization domain. The nicking endonuclease is formed from combining one subunit having an inactivated catalytic site and a second subunit having an inactivated DNA binding domain. The nicking endonuclease may be converted into a restriction endonuclease by the addition of manganese cations in the digestion buffer.

    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.
