Characterization of BisI Homologs

BisI is a sequence-specific and 5-methylcytosine (m5C)-dependent restriction endonuclease (REase), that cleaves the modified DNA sequence Gm5CNGC (G indicates that the cytosine opposite to G is modified). We expressed and purified a number of BisI homologs from sequenced bacterial genomes and used I...
