Abstract
Plasmids pBSoc£-l + (1) and pALTEla (described below*) both contain two canonical P/IMI recognition sites [CCANNNNNTGG (2)]. These plasmids, when purified from Escherichia coli dam/dcm~ strain RB404 (3). release a 362- or 337-bp fragment, respectively, after digestion with P/IMI (Fig. 1A, lanes 1 and 6). However, when purified from dam*/dcm* E. coli strains, these plasmids cleaved only once after digestion with P/IMI (Fig. 1A, lanes 2 and 7). Digestion of unmethylated (lane 3) and methylated (lane 4) pBSocM* DNA with P/IMI and EcoRI Identified the oct-1 P/IMI site at nucleotide position 1680 (1) (see Fig. IB) as the recognition site that is resistant to cleavage. Digestion of unmethylated (lane 8) and methylated (lane 9) pALTEla DNA with P/IMI and PuuII identified the adenovirus P/IMI site at nucleotide position 1461 (4) (see Fig 1C) as the resistant site. Both cleavage-resistant P/IMI sites contain the dcm methylation sequence, CmCWGG (5). These results suggest that a subset of P/IMI recognition sequences that contain a dcm methylation site are resistant to P/IMI cleavage when methylated.
