The genes encoding SsoI and SsoII restriction endonuclease (ENase) and methyltransferase (MTase) are located on the small plasmids P6 and P4, respectively, of Shigella sonnei strain 47. Functions provided by plasmids P5, P7 and P9, which include colicinogenicity and immunity to colicin E1, resistance to streptomycin (Sm), and conjugative DNA transfer, respectively, have also been identified. The genes of the SsoII restriction-modification (R-M) system have been cloned into Escherichia coli expressing the 35-kDa (ENase) and 43-kDa (MTase) products. A restriction map of the P4 plasmid DNA was determined, and the approximate location of the genes encoding SsoII ENase and MTase (ssoIIR and ssoIIM) on that have been established. SsoI is an isoschisomer of EcoRI and SsoII cleaves the 5'-/CCNGG/recognition sequence producing 5'-protruding 5-nt long cohesive ends.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D015252 Deoxyribonucleases, Type II Site-Specific Enzyme systems containing a single subunit and requiring only magnesium for endonucleolytic activity. The corresponding modification methylases are separate enzymes. The systems recognize specific short DNA sequences and cleave either within, or at a short specific distance from, the recognition sequence to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. Enzymes from different microorganisms with the same specificity are called isoschizomers. EC 3.1.21.4.
