Abstract excerpt
Endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA by Type III restriction-modification (RM) enzymes requires long-range communication between at least two recognition sites in inverted orientation. This results in convergence of two nuclease domains, one each from the enzymes loaded at the recognition sites with one still bound to the site. The nucleases catalyze scission of the single-strands leading to double-strand DNA break....
