Abstract

High restriction endonuclease activity was found in a haemolysin-less mutant of the Vibrio parahaemolyticus 1743-1 strain. The endonuclease, named VpaK11BI, recognized the palindromic pentanucleotide sequence of 5′-GGWCC-3′ and cleaved double-stranded DNA after the first G, which is exactly the same as the specificity of AvaII. The haemolysin-less mutant of V. parahaemolyticus is now available for producing the valuable restriction endonuclease on a commercial scale.
