Streptococcus thermophilus strain CNRZ 455 produces a type II restriction endonuclease designated Sth455I. This enzyme was isolated from cell extracts by anionic and cationic exchange chromatography. This yielded an enzyme preparation free of non-specific nucleases. The optimal reaction conditions for Sth455I are: MgCl2, 30 mM; pH range, 8-9; incubation temperature, 37-42 degrees C; and a high NaCl concentration, 100-200 mM. The results of single- and double-digestion experiments indicates that Sth455I is an isoschizomer of BstNI and EcoRII showing different sensitivity to methylation. The enzyme exhibits restriction activity on the DNA of three bacteriophages of S. thermophilus and no activity on the phage lytic for strain CNRZ 455. The restriction/modification system associated with this strain is discussed.

D013291 Streptococcus A genus of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria whose organisms occur in pairs or chains. No endospores are produced. Many species exist as commensals or parasites on man or animals with some being highly pathogenic. A few species are saprophytes and occur in the natural environment.

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.

D015280 DNA Restriction-Modification Enzymes Systems consisting of two enzymes, a modification methylase and a restriction endonuclease. They are closely related in their specificity and protect the DNA of a given bacterial species. The methylase adds methyl groups to adenine or cytosine residues in the same target sequence that constitutes the restriction enzyme binding site. The methylation renders the target site resistant to restriction, thereby protecting DNA against cleavage.
