[Interaction of restriction and modification enzyme EcoRII with synthetic DNA fragments. VII. The study of complex-formation of endonuclease EcoRII with substrates containing natural and modified recognition sites].
As shown by a nitrocellulose filter binding assay, in the absence of Mg2+ EcoRII restriction endonuclease binds specifically to a set of synthetic concatemer DNA duplexes of varying chain length, containing natural and modified recognition sites of this enzyme. The binding of the substrates with the central AT, TT or AA-pair in the recognition site decreases at AT greater than TT much greater than AA. Substitution of the pyrophosphate bond at the cleavage site for the phosphodiester or phosphoramide bond produces little influence on the stability of the complexes. The affinity of the enzyme for nonspecific sites is two orders of magnitude less than that for the specific EcoRII sequences. Equilibrium association constant for a substrate with one recognition site is 3.9 X 10(8) M-1. Addition of Mg2+ leads to the destabilization of the EcoRII endonuclease complex with DNA duplex, containing pyrophosphate bonds. The dissociation rate constants and the lifetime of the EcoRII endonuclease--synthetic substrates complexes have been determined.
