Descriptions

EcoRII is a type IIE restriction endonuclease that interacts with two copies of the DNA recognition sequence 5'-CCWGG, one being the actual target of cleavage, the other serving as the allosteric effector. EcoRII has two functional domains, an N-terminal effector-binding domain and a C-terminal catalytic domain. The catalytic site of EcoRII that is spatially blocked by the N-terminal domain. Activation of the enzyme occurs when an EcoRII dimer interacts with two DNA recognition sites. DNA binding induces domain re-orientation by moving two N-domains away from the catalytic half-sites and moving two C-domains closer to form an active dimer with one substrate DNA duplex. EcoRII cleaves at only one of the two bound recognition sites.

Name Definition
DNA binding Any molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
type II site-specific deoxyribonuclease activity Catalysis of the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates and 3' hydroxyls. Cleavage is dependent on the presence in the DNA of a specific recognition site; cleavage occurs at or very near this recognition site.

1 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
DNA restriction-modification system A defense process found in many bacteria and archaea that protects the organism from invading foreign DNA by cleaving it with a restriction endonuclease. The organism's own DNA is protected by methylation of a specific nucleotide, which occurs immediately following replication, in the same target site as the restriction enzyme.
