title: Isolation of characterization of two sequence-specific endonucleases from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6308.
abstract: The first two restriction endonucleases to be characterized in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6308 are described. SynI, an AvaII isoschizomer, recognizes the base sequence 5-GG[AT]CC-3. SynII, an XmnI isoschizomer, recognizes the sequence 5-GAANNNNTTC-3.
