Abstract

The restriction endonucleases Eco 1831I and Ecohi cleave before the first 5'-cytosine in the recognition sequence 5' -↓ CCSGG --3' 3' --GGSCC↑-5'(where S = G or C), generate 5-base 5' cohesive ends, and are encoded by homologous plasmids that are restricted in McrA+ hosts. Thus, they differ in their cleavage specificity from that of the BcnI isoschizomer, which cleaves after the second 5' cytosine.
