Purification and characterization of the<i>in vitro</i>activity of I-<i>Sce</i>I, a novel and highly specific endonuclease encoded by a group I intron
1 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
Group I intron encoded proteins represent a novel class of site specific double strand endonucleases. The endonuclease activity of this class of proteins has been first demonstrated in vivo for I-Sce I which is encoded by a mitochondrial intron of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Assays using crude cell extracts have shown that I-Sce I can be used in vitro as a restriction endonuclease potentially useful for recombinant...
