Abstract excerpt
The restriction endonuclease fold [a three-layer alpha-beta sandwich containing variations of the PD-(D/E)XK nuclease motif] has been greatly diversified during evolution, facilitating its use for many biological functions. Here we characterize DNA binding and cleavage by the PD-(D/E)XK homing endonuclease I-Ssp6803I. Unlike most restriction endonucleases harboring the same core fold, the specificity profile of...
