A new restriction endonuclease Sst12I belonging to the II type and recognizing the sequence 5'-CTGCAG-3' was isolated from the bacterial strain Streptomyces sp. St-12. The enzyme hydrolyzes DNA between adenine and guanine residues; thus, it is a true isoschizomer of restrictase PstI. In contrast to PstI, the restriction endonuclease Sst12I hydrolyses DNA both at 37 degrees and 55 degrees C and remains active after long-term storage.
从链霉菌属细菌菌株St-12中分离出一种新的II型限制性内切酶Sst12I,其识别序列为5'-CTGCAG-3'。该酶在腺嘌呤和鸟嘌呤残基之间水解DNA;因此,它是限制性酶PstI的真正同裂酶。与PstI不同的是,限制性内切酶Sst12I在37℃和55℃时均能水解DNA,并且在长期保存后仍保持活性。
