RESUMO
The complete type II restriction-modification system of Salmonella infantis was cloned in Escherichia coli as an R . Sau3AI fragment of 3,430 base pairs. The clone was shown to express the restriction endonuclease as well as the modification methylase. The nucleotide sequence of the above fragment showed two open reading frames of 461 and 230 codons in tail-to-tail orientation. These were shown to represent the modification methylase M . SinI and the restriction endonuclease R . SinI, respectively. The methylase M . SinI amino acid sequence revealed a considerable similarity to those of other deoxycytidylate methylases. In contrast, endonuclease R . SinI did not exhibit such a similarity to other restriction enzymes.
