RESUMO

Three type II restriction endonucleases, MaeI, MaeII and MaeIII, with novel site specificities have been isolated and purified from the archaebacterium Methanococcus aeolicus PL-15/H. The recognition sequences of these enzymes are (formula: see text) with the sites of cleavage as indicated by the arrows. The sequences were confirmed by restriction and computer analyses on sequenced DNA's of plasmid pBR322, bacteriophages lambda and phi X174 and virus SV40.
