[Isolation and characteristics of new restriction endonucleases from Haemophilus influenzae].

Various strains of Haemophilus influenzae have been examined for the presence of site-specific endonuclease activities, and eleven restriction endonucleases have been isolated from seven strains. For all the endonucleases recognition sequences were determined, for three of them cleavage sites being identified. The enzymes proved to be isoschizomers of known endonucleases, viz. Hin1 I, Hin8 I--Acy I; Hin1 II, Hin8 II--Nla III; Hin2 I, Hin5 I--Hpa II; Hin3 I--Cau II; Hin5 II--Asu I; Hin5 III--Hind III; Hin6 I, Hin7 I--Hha I. Restriction endonucleases Hin1 I, Hin1 II and Hin6 I recognize nucleotide [formula: see text] sequences 5'GRCGPYC, 5'CATG, 5'GCGC, respectively, and cleave them as indicated by arrows.

[Site-specific endonucleases LplI and AagI].

New site-specific endonucleases LplI and AagI have been isolated from the Lactobacillus plantarum and Achromobacter agile cells, respectively. The enzymes' purification stages included treatment of cell-free extracts with polyethylenimine, fractionation in two-phase system by Albertsson's method, chromatography on blue Sepharose and DEAE-cellulose. The results of cleavage of a 5'-32P-labelled oligodeoxynucleotide duplex by restriction endonucleases LplI and AagI indicate that these enzymes recognize and cut the sequence AT decreases CGAT, being therefore true isoschizomers of the ClaI restriction endonuclease from Caryophanon latum. The L. plantarum strain has 400 fold endonuclease productivity as compared with the ClaI producent and is perspective for preparative isolation of LplI.
