Structure of Type IIL Restriction-Modification Enzyme MmeI in Complex with DNA Has Implications for Engineering New Specificities. [PDF]
The creation of restriction enzymes with programmable DNA-binding and -cleavage specificities has long been a goal of modern biology. The recently discovered Type IIL MmeI family of restriction-and-modification (RM) enzymes that possess a shared target ...

The Helicase-Like Domains of Type III Restriction Enzymes Trigger Long-Range Diffusion Along DNA
Sliding Restriction Helicase enzymes access the genetic information stored in double-helical DNA and RNA by opening the individual strands. Pseudo-helicases, including bacterial Type III restriction enzymes, use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis to

Pathological phenotypes and in vivo DNA cleavage by unrestrained activity of a phosphorothioate-based restriction system in Salmonella [PDF]
Prokaryotes protect their genomes from foreign DNA with a diversity of defence mechanisms, including a widespread restriction–modification (R–M) system involving phosphorothioate (PT) modification of the DNA backbone. Unlike classical R–M systems, highly

Type I restriction-modification (RM) systems are comprised of two multi-subunit enzymes, the methyltransferase (∼160 kDa), responsible for methylation of DNA, and the restriction endonuclease (∼400 kDa), responsible for DNA cleavage. Both enzymes share a

Golden Gate Shuffling: A One-Pot DNA Shuffling Method Based on Type IIs Restriction Enzymes
We have developed a protocol to assemble in one step and one tube at least nine separate DNA fragments together into an acceptor vector, with 90% of recombinant clones obtained containing the desired construct.

Restriction enzyme mapping of vaccinia virus DNA [PDF]
The cleavage sites for the restriction enzymes Bg/I, HindIII, KpnI, SalI, SmaI, and XhoI were located, from primary data, on the DNA isolated from the WR strain of vaccinia virus. Bg/I and SmaI divide the DNA into five segments which can be isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation.

Suppression of APOBEC3-mediated restriction of HIV-1 by Vif
The APOBEC3 restriction factors are a family of deoxycytidine deaminases that are able to suppress replication of viruses with a single-stranded DNA intermediate by inducing mutagenesis and functional inactivation of the virus.

Computation of splicing languages from DNA splicing system with one palindromic restriction enzyme [PDF]
In DNA splicing system, the potential effects of sets of restriction enzymes and a ligase that allow DNA molecules to be cleaved and reassociated to produce further molecules are studied.

Charge transport-mediated recruitment of DNA repair enzymes [PDF]
Damaged or mismatched bases in DNA can be repaired by Base Excision Repair (BER) enzymes that replace the defective base. Although the detailed molecular structures of many BER enzymes are known, how they colocalize to lesions remains unclear. One hypothesis involves charge transport (CT) along DNA [Yavin, {\it et al.}, PNAS, {\bf 102}, 3546, (2005 ...
