The restriction endonuclease RflFII, isolated from Ruminococcus flavefaciens FD-1, recognizes the sequence 5'-AGTACT-3', and is inhibited by site-specific adenine methylation.

Abstract:

:Molecular studies of the rumen bacterium Ruminococcus flavefaciens are constrained by the lack of stable gene transfer systems. We report here on the characterization of RflFII, a restriction endonuclease isolated from R. flavefaciens FD-1. The enzyme is an isoschizomer of ScaI, and cleavage of the DNA is blunt-ended, between the internal TA dinucleotide sequence of 5'-AGTACT-3'. Chromosomal DNA preparations were used to demonstrate that adenine methylation of DNA within the sequence 5'-GTAC-3' inhibits both RflFII and the restriction endonucleases RsaI and ScaI. Chromosomal DNA from R. flavefaciens FD-1 is also host modified to protect against cleavage by ScaI.
