Inhibition of the restriction endonuclease BanII using modified DNA substrates. Determination of phosphate residues critical for the formation of an active enzyme-DNA complex.

Abstract excerpt

The restriction endonuclease BanII catalyzes the cleavage of double-stranded DNA and recognizes the degenerate sequence 5'-GPuGCPyC-3'. The poly-linker of M13mp18 contains one such sequence, 5'-GAGCTC-3'. The three other possible sites recognized by the enzyme were prepared by site-directed muta-genesis. The substitution of phosphate groups by phosphorothioate residues at some positions within the various...
