Abstract

A new Type II restriction endonuclease XcyI, purified from Xanthomonas cyanopsidis 13D5, is an isoschizomer of SmaI and XmaI that cleaves at the nucleotide sequence 5'-C↓CCGGG-3' of double-stranded DNA. The single restriction activity present in this strain permits rapid purification of 8000 units of cleavage activity from 10 g of freshly harvested cells. The resulting XcyI preparation is free of contaminating nuclease activities that interfere with in vitro manipulation of DNA.
