RESUMO
The preparation of site-specific endonuclease Bsp123 I was isolated and purified from the thermophilic strain Bacillus species 123. Endonuclease Bsp123 I recognizes the sequence CGCG and cleaves it in the middle between nucleotides G and C, producing blunt ends. Thus, Bsp123 I is an isoschizomer of FnuDII. The maximal activity of the enzyme is displayed at 42 degrees C, pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2.

Thermophilic strain Bacillus species AA contains several site-specific endonucleases and three of them have been identified. BspAAI recognizes the sequence 5'-C downward arrow TCGAG-3' and cleaves it after the first "C" forming 4-nucleotide 5'-ends and is an isoschizomer of XhoI. BspAAII recognizes the sequence 5'-T downward arrow CTAGA-3' and cleaves it after the first "T" forming 4-nucleotide 5'-ends and is an isoschizomer of XbaI. BspAAIII recognizes the sequence 5'-GGATCC-3' and is an isomer of BamHI. The optimal temperature and pH values are 42-48 degreesC and 7.0-8.0, respectively.
