Isolation and characterization of type IIS restriction endonuclease from Neisseria cuniculi ATCC 14688

Add time:08/29/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Neisseria cuniculi produces the restriction enzyme NcuI which is an isoschizomer of MboII. We have demonstrated that NcuI recognizes a pentanucleotide sequence (5′-GAAGA-3′/3′-CTTCT-5′), and cleaves the DNA 8 and 7 nucleotides downstream from the recognition site leaving a single 3′-protruding nucleotide. We have purified this enzyme to electrophoretic homogenity using a four-step chromatographic procedure. NcuI endonuclease is a monomeric protein with a Mr=48 000±1000 under denaturing conditions. The properties of NcuI are consistent with those for MboII, the position of the cleavage site being identical and the pH profile and divalent cation requirements being similar. Moreover, NcuI cross-reacts strongly with anti-MboII serum suggesting the presence of similar antigenic determinants. We have determined the sequence of 20 N-terminal amino acids for NcuI and concluded that this sequence is identical to the N-terminal portion of the MboII enzyme.
