title: Nucleotide sequence of the EcoRII restriction endonuclease gene.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of a 1394 basepair (bp) DNA fragment containing the EcoRII restriction endonuclease (R.EcoRII) gene was determined. The endonuclease gene is 1206 bp in length (predicted 402 amino acids (aa) and Mr = 45 178) and is separated by 33 bp from the EcoRII modification methylase (M.EcoRII) gene. The EcoRII restriction-modification system has a tail-to-tail organization of the two genes.
