R E B A S E
The Restriction Enzyme Database, is a collection of information about
restriction enzymes, methylases, the microorganisms from which they have been
isolated, recognition sequences, cleavage sites, methylation specificity, the
commercial availability of the enzymes, and references - both published and
unpublished observations (dating back to 1952).
REBASE is updated daily. Each month, a set of REBASE data files are
released publically and distributed to the scientific community at no charge
via a regular monthly emailing list, and made available at our own anonymous
ftp site (vent.neb.com). These data files are flat ASCII text files, many of
which we designed specifically for use with a variety of software packages,
such as GCG and IntelliGenetics. As REBASE expands, an ever-growing number
of new data files are being provided. Requests for additional formats are
welcome, as we are prepared to support each major sequence analysis package.
REBASE is now accessible via WAIS directly from us as well.

******************************************************************************
RECOGNITION SEQUENCE NOMENCLATURE
REBASE Recognition sequences representations use the standard
abbreviations (Eur. J. Biochem. 150: 1-5, 1985) to represent
ambiguity.
R = G or A
Y = C or T
M = A or C
K = G or T
S = G or C
W = A or T
B = not A (C or G or T)
D = not C (A or G or T)
H = not G (A or C or T)
V = not T (A or C or G)
N = A or C or G or T
COMMERCIAL AVAILABILITY
Each commercial source of restriction enzymes and/or methylases
listed in REBASE is assigned a single character abbreviation
code. For example:
K Takara (12/92)
L Northumbria Biologicals Ltd. (11/92)
M Boehringer Mannheim (12/92)
N New England Biolabs (11/92)
The date in parentheses indicates the most recent update of
that organization's listings in REBASE.
******************************************************************************
REBASE via WAIS:
REBASE is accessible via WAIS from vent.neb.com
(192.138.220.2 port 210).
We currently have five WAIS sources set up.
REBASE_help:
general description of REBASE and what services and data files
we offer.
REBASE_enzymes:
facts about each enzyme in REBASE.
REBASE_references:
all the published references stored in REBASE complete with

name changes, announcements of new REBASE formats and services,
new commercial suppliers, etc.

temperature-dependent phage development and host-controlled phage replication

<7>Streptococcus lactis ME2 is a dairy starter strain that is insensitive to a
variety of phage, including Phi18. The efficiency of plating of Phi18 on ME2
and N1 could be increased from <1 X 10-9 to 5.0 X 10-2 and from 7.6 X 10-7
to 2.1 X 10-2, respectively, when the host strains were subcultured at 40C
before plating the phage and the phage assay plates were incubated at 40C.
Host-dependent replication was demonstrated in N1 at 30C and in N1 and ME2
at 40C, suggesting the operation of a temperature-sensitive restriction and
modification system in MER2 and N1. The increased sensitivity of ME2 and N1
to Phi18 at 40C was also demonstrated by lysis of broth cultures and increase
in plaque size. ME2 grown at 40C showed an increased ability to adsorb Phi18
indicating a second target for temperature-dependent phage sensitivity in ME2.
Challenge of N1 with a Phi18 preparation that had been previously modified
for growth on N1 indicated that at 40C phage development was characterized by
a shorter latent period and larger burst size than at 30C. The evidence
presented suggests that the high degree of phage insensitivity expressed by
ME2 consists of a variety of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, including (i)
the prevention of phage adsorption, (ii) host-controlled restriction of
phage, and (iii) suppression of phage development. At 30C these factors
appear to act cooperatively to prevent the successful emergence of lytic
phage active against S. lactis ME2.

Biophys.\t1991\t284\t264-269\t\t\tThe steric course of methyl group transfer
catalyzed by two DNA methylases, HhaI methylase, a DNA (cytosine-5)
methyltransferase, and EcoRI methylase, which methylates at N6 of adenosine,
has been studied with (methyl-R)- and (methyl-S)-[methyl-2H1,3H]
adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor, using as substrates poly-d(GC) (HhaI)
and the dodecamer oligonucleotide duplex d(CGCGAATTCGCG) (EcoRI),
respectively. The methylated nucleotides were degraded to convert the chiral
methyl groups into acetic acid for configurational analysis. It was found
that both enzymatic reactions proceed with inversion of configuration of the
methyl group.\t\t
