Abstract excerpt
We have constructed two C-terminal deletion mutants of the FokI restriction endonuclease by using the polymerase-chain-reaction technique and expressed them in Escherichia coli. The two mutant proteins (MP) of 41 and 30 kDa, were purified to homogeneity and their DNA-binding properties were characterized. The 41-kDa MP specifically binds the DNA sequence, 5'-GGATG/3'-CCTAC, like the wild-type (wt) FokI, but does...
