A Site-specific Endonuclease For The Cleavage Of Very Large Dna Molecules
Tech ID: 18205 / UC Case 1992-032-0
Abstract
A DNA endonuclease, VDE, is derived from the yeast Sacchromyces cerevisiae and is related to other nucleases involvled in nucleic acid rearrangements. Analysis shows that VDE recognizes an extended sequence: TATSYATGYYGGGTGY|GGRGAARKMGKKAAWGAAAWG, and leaves a staggered double-strand break with 4-bp 3?-hydroxyl overhangs.

Applications
With the extended recognition sequence this enzyme is a rare cutter of DNA and is useful for mapping DNAs from large genomes or chromosomes.
