Restriction enzymes

Restriction enzymes are DNA-cutting enzymes found in bacteria (and harvested from them for use). Because they cut within the molecule, they are often called restriction endonucleases.

Enzymes that recognize a specific sequence of double-stranded DNA and cut the DNA at that site. Restriction enzymes are often referred to as molecular scissors.

Restriction enzymes were discovered in bacteria. Bacteria use them as a defense mechanism to cut up the DNA of viruses or other bacteria.

Restriction enzymes are classified biochemically into three types, designated Type I, Type II and Type III. In type I and III systems, both the methylase and restriction activities are carried out by a single large enzyme complex.

Restriction enzymes : An endonuclease enzyme, isolated from bacteria, that recognizes specific base-pair sequences within DNA and causes endonucleolytic cleavage of the DNA at a site determined by the recognized DNA sequences.

The use of restriction enzymes and then ultimately PCR, all of these methods that underlie the recombinant DNA revolution were critical to being able to make maps of the Y. Initially, our first coherent maps of the Y came together in the 1980s.

Bacteria produce restriction enzymes for protection against invasion by foreign DNA such as phages. The bacteria's own DNA is modified in such a way as to prevent it from being clipped.

DNA insert and vector molecules are digested with two different restriction enzymes to create noncomplementary sticky ends at either end of each restriction fragment.

The vector (which is frequently circular) is linearised by means of restriction enzymes, and incubated with the fragment of interest under appropriate conditions that allow for ligation to occur.

Genetic variation between individuals in DNA fragment sizes resulting from a difference in DNA sequence that affects the recognition sequence for restriction enzymes when cut by specific restriction enzymes.

Restriction enzymes cut DNA wherever their "recognition site" (usually between 4 and 8 bases in length) occurs in the DNA sequence. When there are changes between sequences, a recognition site may appear or be lost.

Digestions of double-stranded DNA by many restriction enzymes (e.g. EcoR I) generate ends with a short single-stranded sequences. Such ends are called sticky ends.
