title: Isolation and characterization of restriction endonuclease BstYI from Bacillus stearothermophilus Y406.
abstract: BstYI, an isoschizomer of XhoII and MflI, has been purified from Bacillus stearothermophilus Y406. This enzyme recognized 5'...Pu/GATCPy...3' in DNA and cleaved between Pu and G in this sequence. BstYI can be easily isolated and purified by heparin-agarose column chromatography in a high yield (8000 units BstYI can be obtained per g wet wt of cells).
