3. DNA MODIFYING ENZYMES
•There are numerous enzymes that modify DNA
molecules by addition or removal of specific chemical
groups.

4. A). Alkaline Phosphatase
•Thisenzymeremovesphosphategroupatthe5’
terminusofaDNAmolecule.

5. B). Polynucleotide kinase
•This enzyme add phosphate group at the 5’ terminus
of a DNA molecule.

6. C). Terminal deoxyneucleotidyltransferase
•This enzyme add one or more deoxyribose
neucleotidesat the 3’ terminus of a DNA molecule.

7. Nucleases
•Nucleases are enzymes that cut, shorten or degrade
nucleic acid molecules.
•There are two types of nucleases enzyme:
1.Exonuclease
2.Endonuclease

8. 1). Exonuclease
•It is able to
break
phosphodiester
bond at the
terminal end of
the DNA
molecule.

9. Examples of Exonuclease
Bal31
•It removes nucleotides from
both the sides of the double
stranded DNA.
•It is purified from the
bacterium Alteromonas
espenjiana.

10. ExonucleaseIII
•It degrades just one strand
of double stranded DNA
molecule and leave single
stranded DNA as the
product.

11. 2). Endonuclease
•It is able to
break internal
phosphodiester
bond of the
DNA molecule.

12. S1 endonulease
•It cleaves only single strand.
•It is purified from the fungus Aspergillusoryzae

13. Deoxyribonuclease1 (Dnase1)
•It cleaves both single stranded and double stranded DNA.
•It is purified from cow pancreas.
This enzyme is non-specific.

14. •RNaseA : It digests ssRNAat 3’ terminus.
•RNaseH : It digests RNA on RNA-DNA heteroduplex.

15. Special class of endonuclease
Restriction Endonuclease
This type of enzymes cleaves specific recognition site
on double stranded DNA.

16. PvuI:It cuts DNA only at the hexanucleotide
CGATCG
•This enzyme isolated from Proteus vulgaris
PvuII:It cuts different hexanucleotideCAGCTG
•This enzyme isolated from same bacterium.

17. Different types of endonucleaseenzymes

18. The recognition sequences for some of the most frequently used restriction endonucleases.

19. Restrictionenzymesrecognizeaspecificsequenceof
nucleotides,andproduceadouble-strandedcutinthe
DNA,thesecutsareoftwotypes:
1.Blunt ends.
2.Sticky ends

20. 1. Blunt ends
•In dsDNA, cut produce by restriction endonuclease
enzyme in middle and does not remain any terminal
sequence here. This ends are known as blunt ends.

21. 2. Sticky ends
•In dsDNA, cut produce by restriction endonuclease
enzyme on both the srands. Two over hangs (extra
nucleotides are present) will be produce on the both ends.
This ends are known as sticky ends.

22. Categorization of enzymes
•Isoschizomers
Restriction enzymes that recognize the same sequence and produce cut in
same location.
e.g. sph-I & Bbu-ICGATAC/G
•Neoschizomers
Restriction enzymes that recognize the same sequence but produce cut in
different location.
e.g. sma-I [GGG/CCC] & Xma-I [G/GGCCC]
•Isocaudomers
Restriction enzymes that recognize slight different sequence but produce
cut in same location.
e.g. Sau3A & BamHIBoth gives GATC sticky ends.
