Title:
FUNCTIONAL DOMAIN IN FLAVOBACTERIUM OKEANOKOITES (FOKI) RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013081471
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a DNA segment identifying recognition and cleavage domains of FokI restriction endonuclease, and encoding each of the recognition and cleavage domains of FokI restriction endonuclease.

A 41kDa N terminus fragment constitutes the recognition domain of the FokI restriction endonuclease and the 41kDa C terminus fragment constitutes a nuclease domain of FokI restriction endonuclease. A hybrid restriction enzyme contains a nuclease domain of the FokI restriction endonuclease connected with a recognition domain of another enzyme. Ubx-FN is one of such hybrid restriction enzymes. The enzyme contains a Ubx homeodomain connected with the FokI cleavage or nuclease domain. The invention also relates to two insertion mutants of a FokI endonuclease.
