DNA modifying enzymes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens: effect of DNA topoisomerase, restriction endonuclease, and unique DNA endonuclease on plasmid and plant DNA.

J M LeBon, C I Kado, L J Rosenthal, J G Chirikjian.   

Abstract

Extracts from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain ID135 contain three enzymes that have been characterized and partially purified. The first enzyme, a DNA topoisomerase, appeared to relax only negatively twisted DNA. The second enzyme, Atu I, a type II restriction endonuclease, generated the identical DNA digestion pattern as EcoRII when several DNAs were used. The third enzyme, endonuclease A, showed a preference for superhelical DNAs as substrates. When plasmid pCK135DNA, obtained from the virulent strain IDI135 of A. tumefaciens, or plant DNA was exposed to the three enzymes, changes in DNA patterns were observed due to either conformational changes or digestion of the DNAs. These enzymes may function in vivo in the processing and incorporation of bacterial DNA in plant cells.
