[DNA-duplexes with phosphoamide bond: interaction with restriction endonucleases EcoRII and SsoII]. 1987

E S Gromova, and M N Vinogradova, and T M Uporova, and O I Griaznova, and M G Isaguliants

We studied the interaction of EcoRII and SsoII restriction endonucleases with synthetic DNA duplexes, containing 3'N----5'P and 3'P----5'N phosphoamide internucleotide bonds in one of the cleavage points. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the modified strand of the duplexes is blocked in all cases. The presence of phosphoamide bonds was found to reduce the rate of cleavage of the natural strand by EcoRII and to have no influence in case of SsoII. Properties of the EcoRII endonuclease complex with its substrate, containing non-cleavable 3'N----5'P internucleotide bonds in each cleavage point, were examined. In the presence of Mg2+ ions the equilibrium association constant of the enzyme-substrate complex is 3-fold reduced, and the dissociation rate constant of the complex is increased by 1.5 times.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
