Abstract
The restriction endonuclease (ENase) Sru30DI, an isoschizomer of StuI, which recognizes the sequence 5'-AGG/CCT-3', was purified from a natural isolate of Selenomonas ruminatinum. The ENase was isolated from cell extracts using single-step purification by phosphocellulose column chromatography. Activity of Sru30DI is inhibited by overlapping Dcm methylation. The ENase is extremely stable at 37 degrees C and is active over a wide range of pH, temperature and salt concentrations.

Abstract
The properties and sources of all known restriction endonucleases and methylases are listed. The enzymes are cross-indexed (Table I), classified according to their recognition sequence homologies (Table II), and characterized within Table II by the cleavage and methylation positions, the number of recognition sites on the double-stranded DNA of the bacteriophages lambda, phi X174 and M13mp7, the viruses Ad2 and SV40, the plasmids pBR322 and pBR328, and the microorganisms from which they originate. Other tabulated properties of the restriction endonucleases include relaxed specificities (integrated into Table II), the structure of the generated fragment ends (Table III), and the sensitivity to different kinds of DNA methylation (Table V). In Table IV the conversion of two- and four-base 5'-protruding ends into new recognition sequences is compiled which is obtained by the fill-in reaction with Klenow fragment of the Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I or additional nuclease S1 treatment followed by ligation of the modified fragment termini [P3]. Interconversion of restriction sites generates novel cloning sites without the need of linkers. This should improve the flexibility of genetic engineering experiments. Table VI classifies the restriction methylases according to the nature of the methylated base(s) within their recognition sequences. This table also comprises restriction endonucleases which are known to be inhibited or activated by the modified nucleotides. The detailed sequences of those overlapping restriction sites are also included which become resistant to cleavage after the sequential action of corresponding restriction methylases and endonucleases [N11, M21]. By this approach large DNA fragments can be generated which is helpful in the construction of genomic libraries. The data given in both Tables IV and VI allow the design of novel sequence specificities. These procedures complement the creation of universal cleavage specificities applying class IIS enzymes and bivalent DNA adapter molecules [P17, S82].

Abstract
A new site-specific endonuclease has been isolated from Streptomyces caespitosus and named ScaI. Based on analysis of sequences around the restriction sites in pBR322 and pBR325, the recognition sequence of ScaI endonuclease was deduced to be a new hexanucleotide 5'-AGTACT-3'. The cleavage site was determined by comparing the ScaI-cleaved product of a primer-extended M13mp18-SCA DNA, which contains an AGTACT sequence, with dideoxy chain terminator ladders of the same DNA. ScaI was found to cleave the recognition sequence between the internal T and A, leaving flush ends to the cleaved fragments.

Abstract
Several Streptomyces species that produce restriction endonucleases were characterized for their ability to propagate 10 different broad host range bacteriophages. Each species displayed a different pattern of plaque formation. A restrictionless mutant of S. albus G allowed plaque formation by all 10 phages, whereas the wild-type strain showed plaques with only 2 phages. DNA isolated from three of the phages was analyzed for the presence of restriction sites for Streptomyces species-encoded enzymes, and a very strong correlation was established between the failure to form plaques on Streptomyces species that produced particular restriction enzymes and the presence of the corresponding restriction sites in the phage DNA. Also, the phages that lacked restriction sites in their DNA generally formed plaques on the corresponding restriction endonuclease-producing hosts at high efficiency. The DNAs from the three phages analyzed also generally contained either many or no restriction sites for the Streptomyces species-produced enzymes, suggesting a strong evolutionary trend to either eliminate all or tolerate many restriction sites. The data indicate that restriction plays a major role in host range determination for Streptomyces phages. Analysis of bacteriophage host ranges of many other uncharacterized Streptomyces hosts has identified four relatively nonrestricting hosts, at least two of which may be suitable hosts for gene cloning. The data also suggest that several restriction systems remain to be identified in the genus Streptomyces.

Abstract
Recombinant phage phi 1E1metB, which contains the 4.5-kb EcoRI fragment of Bacillus subtilis DNA, has no HaeIII cleavage sites within the vector phi 1E1 genome but only in the metB insert. When phi 1E1metB was grown in B. subtilis ISR11, which produces BsuR, the isoschizomer of HaeIII, it was restricted and survived with an efficiency of approx. 10(-5). All the survivors were deletion mutants of phi 1E1metB, and only various segments of the insert DNA delineated by HaeIII sites were deleted. The Met+ transforming activities of the DNAs from phi 1E1metB and its deletion derivatives were examined, and the restriction maps of the deletion mutants were correlated with five metB- mutation sites.

Abstract
We present complete restriction endonuclease cleavage site maps of the bacteriophage P22 chromosome for 16 enzymes with six base recognition sequences, thereby positioning 116 new sites on the chromosome. Twenty-four such restriction maps for P22 DNA, containing 162 sites, have now been completed, and three enzymes were found that did not cut P22 DNA. Our results are consistent with the ideas that ClaI does not cleave the methylated recognition sequence ATCGA(me)T or A(me)TCGAT and StuI does not cleave the methylated recognition sequence AGGCC(me)T.

Abstract
Rapid advances have been made in recent years on protoplast research in the economically important Streptomyces. The use of protoplasts has facilitated the development of efficient techniques for intra- and interspecific genetic recombination by fusion and by gene cloning. This report summarizes current protoplast methodologies as they relate to both protoplast fusion and genetic transformation, points out some genetic instabilities associated with protoplast techniques, and speculates on future directions to broaden the applications of protoplasts for heterospecific gene recombination and cloning in Streptomyces.

Abstract
A computer program (RSITE) was developed which predicts the recognition sequence of a restriction endonuclease. The sizes of fragments experimentally determined on cleavage of a DNA of known sequence were input. Possible recognition sequences producing fragments of sizes matching those determined empirically were printed out. The program faithfully predicted the specificity of restriction enzymes of known recognition sequence and also determined the recognition sequence of a new restriction enzyme from Haemophilus influenzae GU (HinGU II).
