Host specificity of DNA in Haemophilus influenzae: DNA restriction enzyme from H. influenzae Rf232.
A restriction endonuclease has been partially purified from Haemophilus influenzae Rf232 containing the genetically determined system of restriction and modification of DNA. The enzyme requires ATP for the degradation of transfecting phage DNA.
