Haemophilus influenzae is a species of bacteria that is the source of the HindIII restriction enzyme that cleaves the palindromic DNA sequence 5'-AAGCTT-3' in the presence of the cofactor Mg2+ via hydrolysis. While restriction enzymes cleave at specific DNA sequences, they are first required to bind non-specifically with the DNA backbone before localizing to the restriction site. On average, the restriction enzyme will form 15-20 hydrogen bonds with the bases of the recognition sequence. With the aid of other Van der Waals interactions, this bonding facilitates a conformational change of the DNA-enzyme complex which leads to the activation of catalytic centers. Despite the lack of evidence suggesting an exact mechanism for the cleavage of DNA by HindIII, site-mutagenesis analysis coupled with more detailed studies of metal ion-mediated catalysis in EcoRV have led to the following proposed catalytic mechanism. It has been suggested that during the hydrolysis of DNA by EcoRV the catalytic residue Lys-92 stabilizes and orients the attacking water nucleophile, while the carboxylate of Asp-90 stabilizes the leaving hydroxide anion through to coordination of Mg2

What is the cutting site of BamHI and HindIII?

BamHI cuts at the sequence 5'-G^GATCC-3', creating sticky ends with a 5'-overhang. HindIII cuts at the sequence 5'-A^AGCTT-3', creating sticky ends with a 5'-overhang as well.


EcoRI and HindIII are What?

EcoRI and HindIII are restriction enzymes commonly used in molecular biology to cut DNA at specific sequences. They are named after the bacteria species where they were first isolated, Escherichia coli RY13 and Haemophilus influenzae Rd, respectively.


What are the two different restriction enzymes used to cut the pUC19 plasmid and the lux gene DNA?

How many sites are in pBR322 for HindIII?

pBR322 has one HindIII restriction site. This means that the HindIII enzyme can cut the pBR322 plasmid at a specific location, resulting in two fragments. The presence of this site is often utilized in molecular cloning and recombinant DNA technology.
