  • Title: NgoII, a restriction endonuclease from Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
    Author: Clanton DJ, Riggsby WS, Miller RV.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1979 Mar; 137(3):1299-1307. PubMed ID: 35516.
    Abstract:
    EndoR . NgoII, a class II restriction endonuclease isolated from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. We were able to separate it from another restriction endonuclease of N. gonorrhoeae, NgoI, by phosphocellulose chromatography. NgoII is an isoschizomer of HaeIII, a restriction endonuclease of Haemophilus aegyptius, and was found to recognize the deoxyribonucleic acid nucleotide base sequence GGCC. NgoII was able to digest phage lambda deoxyribonucleic acid over a wide pH range, with optimal activity at pH 8.5. The enzyme has an absolute requirement for Mg2+; maximal enzyme activity was observed at 1 mM Mg2+. The active enzyme has a molecular weight of 65,000 and appears to be composed of six subunits of identical molecular weight (11,000). No methylase activity could be detected in the purified enzyme preparation.
