Effect of site-specific modification on restriction endonucleases and DNA modification methyltransferases.

M McClelland 1, M Nelson 1, E Raschke 1
PMCID: PMC308336  PMID: 7937074

Abstract

Restriction endonucleases have site-specific interactions with DNA that can often be inhibited by site-specific DNA methylation and other site-specific DNA modifications. However, such inhibition cannot generally be predicted. The empirically acquired data on these effects are tabulated for over 320 restriction endonucleases. In addition, a table of known site-specific DNA modification methyltransferases and their specificities is presented along with EMBL database accession numbers for cloned genes.
