| Recognition site | DNA sequence with at least two 5mC:
PuPyN↑PuPy
PyPu↓NPyPu
| | Source | Bacillus simplex 23 | | Substrate specificity | The enzyme cleaves C5-methylated DNA and doesn't cut unmodified DNA [1].
BlsI cleaves DNA sequence 5`- PuPyNPuPy-3`/3`-PyPuNPyPu-5', if at least two 5-methylcytosines are present in the recognition site (N isn`t considering).
The enzyme activity varies for different sites and depends on number and position of methylated cytosines in the recognition sequence.
Optimal recognition site (100% activity )
5`-G(5mC)NGC-3`/3`-(5mC)GN(5mC)G-5`.
| | Assayed on | DNA pFsp4HI3/DriI is a linearized plasmid pFsp4HI3, which carries a gene of DNA-methyltransferase M.Fsp4HI and includes three canonical sites:
5`-G(5mC)NG(5mC)-3`/3`-CGN(5mC)G-5` [2]. | | Unit definition | One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme
required to hydrolyze at least one of three canonical sites
5`-G(5mC)NG(5mC)-3`/3`-CGN(5mC)G-5`
in 1 μg of linearized plasmid pFsp4HI3 in 1 hour at 30°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl. As a result a linearized plasmid pFsp4HI3 disappears (see run 4 in the figure). | BlsI activity assay on DNA pFsp4HI3/DriI
