Abstract A proposal was made for a method to search enzymatic restriction patterns in silico, in order to reduce the search space of restriction enzymes for Amanita muscaria rDNA region Internal Transcribed Spacer ITS.
It contains around commercial restriction enzymes of 37, reported in the literature. This approach may help us make a molecular characterization of organisms in an efficient manner. A space of commercial restriction enzymes has been reduced to only 45 enzymes, which may be capable to characterize the A. They were also used to analyze sequences of different A. The result showed equal cuts for Amanita varieties, and different cuts for the other Amanita species and Russula genus.
With this results, we propose a consensus restriction enzyme pattern in silico for sequences of A. This method was confirmed by restriction analysis in vitro on A. This approach produced the desired reduction of restriction enzymes search space. Key words: Enzymatic restriction patterns, molecular characterization, bioinformatic analysis, Amanita muscaria.

However, attempts by genetic manipulation of the existing type II enzymes to generate new specicities, particularly longer recognition sites, have not been successful. This may be simply due to the fact that multiple mutations are needed before a change in specicity can be achieved.
Alternatively, since the DNA recognition and catalytic functions overlap each other in type II enzymes, it is possible that attempts to change amino acid residues within the DNA recognition domain that are responsible for the sequence specicity may also aect the catalytic domain.
Changes in the DNA-binding domain may alter the geometry of catalytic site; this is likely accompanied by a drop in cleavage activity over several orders of magnitude. Type II enzymes simply may not be suitable subjects for changing sequence specicity. Researchers have tried to generate universal restriction enzymes by combining the type IIs enzymes like FokI with properly designed oligonucleotide adapters.
However, this method is not as useful as chimaeric restriction enzymes see below , since the target needs to be single-stranded DNA. An elegant study of the crystal structures of FokI with and without DNA by Aggarwal and co-workers has shown this model to be correct. Based on the modular nature of type IIs endonucleases, Chandrasegaran and coworkers postulated that these enzymes probably evolved by random fusions of the DNA-binding domains to nonspecic endonucleases.
Over time, these fusions were further rened into sequence-specic type IIs restriction enzymes by acquiring allosteric interaction between the recognition domain and the catalytic domain. Recent studies suggest that the modular architecture of type IIs enzymes is much more common in nature than previously thought. I-TevI, a Group I intron-encoded homing endonuclease, appears to have a similar bipartite structure Figure 1.
Unlike FokI, in which the recognition domain is at the amino terminus and the cleavage domain is at the Cterminal third of the molecule, the homing endonuclease ITevI appears to be an enzyme with an N-terminal catalytic domain and C-terminal DNA-binding domain connected by a exible linker. Recent studies suggest that similar multimodular endonuclease fusions may be much more prevalent.
R2 retrotransposon endonuclease, Drosophila P1 transposase and Rec BCD enzyme involved in recombination may fall into this category. The type IIs enzymes appear to be ideal candidates for changing sequence specicities. The modular structure of FokI endonuclease suggested that it might be feasible to construct chimaeric restriction enzymes with novel sequence specicities by linking other DNA-binding proteins to the cleavage domain of FokI.
Chandrasegaran and coworkers have created the rst chimaeric restriction enzymes by fusing the isolated nuclease domain of FokI to other sequence-specic DNA-binding proteins. These include the three common eukaryotic DNA-binding motifs, namely the helix-turn-helix motif, the zinc-nger motif and the basic helix-loop-helix protein b-HLH containing a leucine zipper motif Figure 2. Increased levels of ligase within cells have been utilized for the production of chimaeric restriction enzymes.
Since there are no counterpart methylases available for the chimaeric restriction enzymes, production of these enzymes in vivo is lethal to cells. By increasing the levels of the DNA ligase within the cells, the clones carrying the chimaeric restriction enzymes are made more viable. The most important chimaeric restriction endonucleases are those based on zinc-nger DNA-binding proteins. Each individual zinc nger, a peptide of about 30 amino acids, recognizes three bases along the DNA.
These proteins, like many sequence-specic DNA-binding proteins, bind to the DNA by inserting an a-helix into the major groove of the double helix. The crystallographic structure of the three zinc-nger proteins bound to cognate sites reveals that each nger interacts with a triplet within the DNA substrate. Each nger, because of variations of certain key amino acids from one zinc nger to the next, makes its own unique contribution to DNA-binding anity and specicity.
Because they appear to bind as independent modules, the zinc gures can be linked together in a peptide designed to bind a predetermined DNA site. In theory, one can design a zinc nger for each of the 64 possible triplets and, by using a combination of these ngers, one could design a protein for sequence-specic recognition of any segment of DNA.
Studies to understand the rules relating to zinc nger sequences as well as their DNA-binding preferences and redesigning of DNAbinding specicities of zinc-nger protein are well underway. An alternative approach to the design of zinc-nger proteins with new specicities involves the selection of desirable mutants from a library of randomized zinc ngers displayed on phage. The ability to design or select zincnger proteins with desired specicity implies that DNAbinding proteins containing zinc ngers will be made to order.
Therefore, one could design chimaeric restriction enzymes that will cut DNA at any preferred site by making fusions of zinc-nger proteins to the cleavage domain of FokI endonuclease.
Zinc-nger proteins, because of their modular nature, oer an attractive framework for. Chandrasegaran and co-workers have fused three zinc ngers to the nuclease domain and achieved cleavage at the predicted nine-base-pair recognition site.
It is immediately obvious that, by combining dierent zinc ngers together, numerous new DNA-binding specicities and cleavage patterns could be achieved. Pabo and co-workers have reported the design of poly zinc-nger proteins that bind to bp DNA sites with high anity.
These proteins could be converted into site-specic cleaving enzymes by linking them to the FokI cleavage domain. How might these chimaeric restriction enzymes be used in genome engineering? One approach would be to recruit the preexisting cellular machinery to achieve this goal. In somatic or vegetative cells of many dierent organisms, homologous recombination is used to repair DNA damage, especially double-strand breaks DSBs.
Carroll and co-workers have shown that making a targeted double-strand break would greatly stimulate homologous recombination between the exogenous DNA and a chromosomal sequence in frog oocytes. Such experiments have been performed using Group I intron-encoded homing endonucleases in yeast, cultured mammalian cells and plant cells. More recently, Carroll and co-workers have successfully used a chimaeric restriction enzyme to stimulate homologous recombination in frog oocytes.
As chimaeric restriction endonucleases are developed further, they can be directed to a specic gene target in the chromosome and cut near that site. Thus, they will nd immediate application in genome engineering experiments.
Summary Since their discovery, type II restriction enzymes have played a crucial role in the development of biotechnology and the eld of molecular biology.
The restriction and modication enzymes, which protect bacteria from phage or foreign DNA, are important because they provide reagents for recombinant DNA technology. They are the essential tools for manipulating DNA. Although the type II enzymes are useful in manipulating recombinant DNA, they are not suitable for producing large DNA fragments or genome engineering.
Restriction enzymes that recognize to base-pair sites would be invaluable in genome engineering experiments. Since the DNA recognition and catalytic functions of type II enzymes overlap each other, attempts to change sequence specicity of these enzymes have not been successful.
The type IIs enzymes appear to be ideal candidates to change sequence specicity. The modular nature of FokI restriction endonuclease has made it possible to construct chimaeric restriction enzymes by linking other DNAbinding proteins to the cleavage domain of FokI. The convergence of these two areas of research makes it possible to create articial nucleases that will cut DNA near a predetermined site.
By using these chimaeric restriction enzymes one can make targeted double-strand breaks within a chromosome, and thereby stimulate homologous recombination of exogenous DNA with a chromosomal sequence. A silent revolution is taking place in the eld of restrictionmodication enzymes. Scientists are gathering important information about structure, and about the mechanism of DNA recognition and DNA cleavage by many restriction endonucleases.
There is real excitement about the possibility of making articial restriction enzymes that will recognize a particular site within a genome and cleave near that site. We may be able to generate many novel enzymes with tailor-made sequence specicities that are desirable for various applications.
Ultimately, we might be able to target specic genes for cleavage within cells. In the future, chimaeric restriction enzymes will likely provide the second generation of the molecular scissors that are such important diagnostic and therapeutic reagents for the research community. Also, the complete nucleotide sequence of the genomes of many organisms including the human genome will soon be known. Availability of chimaeric restriction enzymes that target a specic site within a genome should make it feasible to carry out gene therapy.
