Table 2.
Methylation types of Hpa II and Hae II restriction enzymes according to their digestion abilities
| Type | Methylation pattern | Restriction state | Score of band profile | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hpa II | Hae II | Hpa II | Hae II | x | y | z | |
| I Non-methylation | CCGGGGCC | GCGCCGCG | Digested | Digested | −/1 | +/0 | +/0 |
| II Semi-methylation | CCGGGGCC | GCGCCGCG | Digested | Undigested | −/1 | +/0 | −/1 |
| III Full-methylation | CCGGGGCC | GCGCCGCG | Undigested | Digested | −/1 | −/1 | +/0 |
| IV Full-methylation | CCGGGGCC/CCGG GGCC | GCGCCGCG/GCGCCGCG | Undigested | Undigested | −/1 | −/1 | −/1 |
Score of band profile in the table indicates if PCR product is not digested by either enzyme (x), digested by Hpa II (y) and digested by Hae II (z). Scores “+” refer to digestion and “−” refer to undigestion while “1” refer to band presence and “0” refer to band absence
