Abstract excerpt
The Bse634I restriction endonuclease is a tetramer and belongs to the type IIF subtype of restriction enzymes. It requires two recognition sites for its optimal activity and cleaves plasmid DNA with two sites much faster than a single-site DNA. We show that disruption of the tetramerisation interface of Bse634I by site-directed mutagenesis converts the tetrameric enzyme into a dimer. Dimeric W228A mutant cleaves...
