HindII, HindIII, and HpaI restriction fragment maps of bacteriophage lambda DNA. 1977

L H Robinson, and A Landy

The site-specific restriction endonucleases isolated from Hemophilus influenzae strains Rc (HincII) and Rd (HindII + III), and Hemophilus parainfluenzae (HpaI) were used to digest bacteriophage lambda DNA into 34, 40, and 15 specific fragments, respectively. The sites cleaved by each of these enzymes were localized on the lambda physical map and the fragments resulting from these cleavages were electrophoretically identified on gels by (1) analysis of the digestion profiles of deletion and transducing derivatives of lambda; and (2) digesting individual fragments produced by one restriction endonuclease with another restriction endonuclease. This paper presents the HindII, HindIII, and HpaI restriction fragment maps for the entire lambda genome, and the data used to derive these maps for the region of the lambda genome between the attachment site (at 57.3% lambda) and the right vegetative end (100% lambda). The data for mapping the left arm of lambda may be found in the accompanying paper (Robinson and Landy, 1977).

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.
