title: The sequence specificity of endonucleases CauI and CauII isolated from chloroflexus aurantiacus.
abstract: The type II restriction enzymes CauI and CauII, isolated from Chloroflexus aurantiacus, recognize and cleave (at the position indicated by an arrow) the sequences G decreases G A/T CC and CC decreases G/C GG, respectively. These conclusions are supported by the results from restriction site mapping, sequence analysis by partial chemical degradation, end-group analysis after lambda exonuclease treatment and computer-assisted comparison of DNA sequence data.
