Thermophilic strain Bacillus species AA contains several site-specific endonucleases and three of them have been identified. BspAAI recognizes the sequence 5'-C downward arrow TCGAG-3' and cleaves it after the first "C" forming 4-nucleotide 5'-ends and is an isoschizomer of XhoI. BspAAII recognizes the sequence 5'-T downward arrow CTAGA-3' and cleaves it after the first "T" forming 4-nucleotide 5'-ends and is an isoschizomer of XbaI. BspAAIII recognizes the sequence 5'-GGATCC-3' and is an isomer of BamHI. The optimal temperature and pH values are 42-48 degreesC and 7.0-8.0, respectively.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010582	Bacteriophage lambda	A temperate inducible phage and type species of the genus lambda-like viruses, in the family SIPHOVIRIDAE. Its natural host is E. coli K12.

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.
