Isolation and characterisation of DraI, a type II restriction endonuclease recognising a sequence containing only A:T basepairs, and inhibition of its activity by uv irradiation of substrate DNA.

Abstract:

:A type II restriction endonuclease, DraI, isolated from Deinococcus radiophilus ATCC 27603 recognises the palindromic hexanucleotide sequence (formula; see text) and cleaves it, as indicated by the arrows, to produce blunt-ended fragments. The yield of enzyme is 100 to 1000 times that of the only other known type II restriction endonuclease that recognises a sequence composed solely of A:T basepairs, the isoschizomer AhaIII (1). Ultraviolet irradiation of the DNA substrate at relatively low doses inhibits the activity of DraI by "protecting" the recognition sequence and this may be exploited to give control of partial digestion of DNA by DraI.

  • Interaction of N-terminal domain of U1A protein with an RNA stem/loop.

    abstract::The U1A protein is a sequence-specific RNA binding protein found in the U1 snRNP particle where it binds to stem/loop II of U1 snRNA. U1A contains two 'RNP' or 'RRM' (RNA Recognition Motif) domains, which are common to many RNA-binding proteins. The N-terminal RRM has been shown to bind specifically to the U1 RNA stem...
