  • Title: Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the genes coding for the Sau96I restriction and modification enzymes.
    Author: Szilák L, Venetianer P, Kiss A.
    Journal: Nucleic Acids Res; 1990 Aug 25; 18(16):4659-64. PubMed ID: 2204026.
    Abstract:
    The genes coding for the GGNCC specific Sau96I restriction and modification enzymes were cloned and expressed in E. coli. The DNA sequence predicts a 430 amino acid protein (Mr: 49,252) for the methyltransferase and a 261 amino acid protein (Mr: 30,486) for the endonuclease. No protein sequence similarity was detected between the Sau96I methyltransferase and endonuclease. The methyltransferase contains the sequence elements characteristic for m5C-methyltransferases. In addition to this, M.Sau96I shows similarity, also in the variable region, with one m5C-methyltransferase (M.SinI) which has closely related recognition specificity (GGA/TCC). M.Sau96I methylates the internal cytosine within the GGNCC recognition sequence. The Sau96I endonuclease appears to act as a monomer.
