Abstract
The cleavage of the plasmid pBR322 by the restriction endonuclease Eco RI has been studied in the presence of various polynucleotides and the double stranded octanucleotide d-(GGAATTCC) in order to clarify whether there is a preferential interaction of Eco RI with DNA sequences other than -GAATTC-. The steady state kinetic analysis shows that all polynucleotides investigated with the possible exception of poly-dG.poly-dC inhibit the cleavage competitively with Ki values in the range of 10(-4) to 10(-5) [M nucleotides]. The Ki of d-(GGAATTCC) is 1.5.10(-6) [M nucleotides], indicating that the specific binding is approx. 2 orders of magnitude stronger than non-specific binding.Entities:
