title: [Specificity of action of DNA methylases BcnI, CfrI and Cfr10I].
abstract: The site specificity of three DNA methylases BcnI, CfrI and Cfr10I was determined to be 5'Cm4C(C/G)GG, 5'PyGGm5CCPu and 5'Pum5CCGGPy, respectively. Using the modification methylases under investigation with known restriction endonucleases, fourteen new DNA cleavage specificities can be created. Some aspects of the use of restriction endonucleases in DNA methylation analysis are discussed.
