A new site-specific endonuclease StuI from Streptomyces tubercidicus

Gene. 1980 Nov;11(3-4):219-25. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(80)90062-1.

Abstract

A new sequence-specific endonuclease, StuI, produced by Streptomyces tubercidicus KCC S-0054, was identified and partially purified. StuI recognizes the hexanucleotide "palindromic" sequence (Formula: see text), and cleaves it at the middle, producing blunt ends.
