Ecl18kI is a type II restriction-modification system isolated from Enterobacter cloaceae 18kI strain. Genes encoding Ecl18kI methyltransferase (M.Ecl18kI) and Ecl18kI restriction endonuclease (R.Ecl18kI) have been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. These enzymes recognize the 5'.../CCNGG...3' sequence in DNA; M.Ecl18kI methylates the C5 carbon atom of the inner dC residue and R.Ecl18kI cuts DNA as shown by the arrow. The restriction endonuclease and the methyltransferase were purified from E. coli B834 [p18Ap1] cells to near homogeneity. The restriction endonuclease is present in the solution as a tetramer, while the methyltransferase is a monomer. The interactions of M.Ecl18kI and R.Ecl18kI with 1,2-dideoxy-D-ribofuranose containing DNA duplexes were investigated. The target base flipping-out mechanism is applicable in the case of M.Ecl18kI. Correct cleavage of the abasic substrates by R.Ecl18kI is accompanied by non-canonical hydrolysis of the modified strand.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
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).

D004754 Enterobacter Gram-negative gas-producing rods found in feces of humans and other animals, sewage, soil, water, and dairy products.
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

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.
