Ability of the EcoRII restriction endonuclease to cleave 14-base-pair DNA duplexes with nucleotide substitutions in the recognition site CCA/TGG and in the adjacent base pair has been studied. Modifications leading to a local change in the substrate conformation (rU residue in and outside the recognition site, A.A- or A.C-pairs in the flanking sequence) reduce the rate of hydrolysis, the effect being maximal when the modified base pair is outside the recognition site. No digestion occurs when the internal dC-residue of the recognition site is 5-methylated in one or both strands. Replacement of dT residue in the EcoRII recognition site by dfl5U residue results in a dramatic inhibition of hydrolysis. Km and kcat for the cleavage of 14-base-pair DNA duplex have been determined. The cleavage rate of the dT-containing strand of the recognition site in 1.5 fold higher comparing with the dA-containing strand. The cleavage of both strands of the substrate by EcoRII endonuclease is confirmed to proceed in one enzyme-substrate complex.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009690 Nucleic Acid Conformation The spatial arrangement of the atoms of a nucleic acid or polynucleotide that results in its characteristic 3-dimensional shape. DNA Conformation,RNA Conformation,Conformation, DNA,Conformation, Nucleic Acid,Conformation, RNA,Conformations, DNA,Conformations, Nucleic Acid,Conformations, RNA,DNA Conformations,Nucleic Acid Conformations,RNA Conformations
D009692 Nucleic Acid Heteroduplexes Double-stranded nucleic acid molecules (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA) which contain regions of nucleotide mismatches (non-complementary). In vivo, these heteroduplexes can result from mutation or genetic recombination; in vitro, they are formed by nucleic acid hybridization. Electron microscopic analysis of the resulting heteroduplexes facilitates the mapping of regions of base sequence homology of nucleic acids.

D009838 Oligodeoxyribonucleotides A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

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.
