The genes coding for the type II restriction-modification (R/M) system LlaBI, which recognized the sequence 5'-C decreases TRYAG-3', have been cloned from a plasmid in Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris W56 and sequenced. The DNA sequence predicts an endonuclease of 299 amino acids (33 kDa) and a methylase of 580 amino acids (65 kDa). A 4.0-kb HindIII fragment in pSA3 was able to restrict bacteriophages, showing that the cloned R/M system can function as a phage defense mechanism in L. lactis.
编码II型限制-修饰(R/M)系统LlaBI的基因已从乳酸乳球菌亚种cremoris W56的一个质粒中克隆并测序,该系统识别序列5'-C decreases TRYAG-3'。DNA序列预测有一个299个氨基酸(33 kDa)的内切核酸酶和一个580个氨基酸(65 kDa)的甲基化酶。pSA3中的一个4.0 kb HindIII片段能够限制噬菌体,表明克隆的R/M系统可在乳酸乳球菌中作为一种噬菌体防御机制发挥作用。
