Restriction enzymes, also known as molecular scissors, are nuclease enzymes found in prokaryotes that cut DNA at specific recognition sites. They were first discovered in the 1960s and are used by bacteria as a defense against bacteriophages by cleaving or modifying viral DNA. There are four main types of restriction enzymes that differ in their recognition sites, cleavage patterns, and enzymatic requirements. Restriction enzymes are widely used in biotechnology and molecular biology applications such as DNA cloning, gene analysis, and production of therapeutic proteins.

Recombinant DNA technology ( also known as genetic engineering) is the set of techniques that enable the DNA to be identified, isolated and recombined so that new characteristics can be introduced into the genome of organism. It was largely the work of Paul Berg, Herbert W. Boyer and Stanley N Cohen, although many other scientists made important contributions to the new technology as well.One important aspect of Recombinant DNA Technology is DNA Cloning.
Restriction mapping is a method used to map an unknown segment of DNA by breaking it into pieces and then identifying the locations of the breakpoints. This method relies upon the use of proteins called restriction enzymes, which can cut, or digest, DNA molecules at short, specific sequences called restriction sites.
Significance of shine dalgarno sequencePrajaktaPanda
The shine dalgarno sequence is a ribosomal site in the prokaryotic bacterial mRNA which helps in protein synthesis by aligning the ribosome with the start codon. It's significance deals with it's effect and importance during the translation process within an mRNA.
In humans, approximately 25,000 genes exit among the 3 billion base pairs of DNA in the genome.
To study anyone of these genes, a researcher first isolates it from all of the other genes in an organisms DNA.
One isolation method has a relatively long history and involves the construction of a DNA library
When a gene is identified and copied, it is said to have been “cloned”

Restriction Endonuclease: The Molecular Scissor of DNA - By RIKI NATHRIKI NATH
restriction enducleases are called the molecular scissors of DNA. types of restriction enzymes, their structures, subunits, most importantly the use of Type II restriction endonuclease in recombinant technology, mechanism of enzyme action and their applications.
Joining together of DNA molecules from two
different species that are inserted into a host
organism to produce new genetic
combinations (i.e recombinant DNA) that are
of value to science, medicine, agriculture and
industry
RESTRICTION
ENDONUCLEASES AND
OTHER ENZYMES USED
IN GENETIC
ENGINEERING
• Also called restriction enzymes or molecular
scissors
• They are enzymes that cut DNA at or near specific
recognition nucleotide sequences known as
restriction sites
• They are found in bacteria and archaea
• A bacterium uses a restriction enzyme to defend
against bacterial viruses called bacteriophages or
phages.
• When a phage infects a bacterium, it inserts its DNA
into the bacterial cell so that it might be replicated.
Restriction enzyme prevents replication of the phage
DNA by cutting it into many pieces
• The bacterial DNA is prevented from the action of the
restriction enzyme by another set of enzymes known
as DNA methyltransferases or methylases
• DNA methylase is synthesized by the bacteria. It adds
methyl to the DNA sequence of the bacteria for
protection against restriction enzyme
• The combination of restriction endonuclease and
methylase is called RESTRICTION-MODIFICATION
SYSTEM
Enzymes that cut DNA at or near specific recognition nucleotide sequences known as restriction sites.
Especial class of enzymes that cleave (cut) DNA at a specific unique internal location along its length.
Often called restriction endonucleases (Because they cut within the molecule).
Discovered in the late 1970s by Werner Arber, Hamilton Smith, and Daniel Nathans.
Essential tools for recombinant DNA technology.
Naturally produced by bacteria that use them as a defense mechanism against viral infection.
Chop up the viral nucleic acids and protect a bacterial cell by hydrolyzing phage DNA.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. NUCLEASE ENZYMES:
• Nuclease enzyme…
• Two types of Nuclease enzyme
are: Exonucleases and
Endonucleases.
• Exonucleases: To remove
nucleotides from the end of a
DNA molecule.
• Endonucleases: Able to break
internal phosphodiester bond.
3. Restriction Enzymes:
• The enzymes are also called “MOLECULAR
SCISSORS”. Found in a wide variety of
prokaryotes.
• First concept of R.E. was postulated in 1960s
by W. Arber and first RE was isolated in 1970s
by Nathans and Smith named HindII.
• Most of bacteria are used Restriction
enzymes as a defense against bacteriophage.
• Restriction enzymes are used for either
cleaving the phage DNA or modification itself.
• Example of R.E: EcoRI, BamHI, HindII etc..
Fig: Viral genome is entering into the
bacterial cell.
4. HOW THE R.E. CLEAVES?
• The sticky ends, have unpaired
DNA nucleotides on either 5'- or 3'-
strand, which are known as
overhangs.
• A straight cut of restriction
enzymes generates blunt ends,
where both strands terminate in a
base pair.
• Sequence of EcoRI: 5’GAATTC 3’ ,
it is PALINDROMIC sequence.
5’ GAATTC 3’
3’ CTTAAG 5’
Fig: The DNA sequences are digested by
the EcoRI and SmaI restriction enzymes.
5. Recognition Site:
• The DNA sequence to which restriction
enzymes can bind.
• The site of the DNA sequence where it is
cleaved by the restriction enzyme.
• The recognition sequences can also be
classified by the number of bases in its
recognition site, usually between 4 and 8
bases.
• Many of them are palindromic. FIG: Recognition site of BamHI
Fig: A palindromic recognition site
reads the same on the reverse strand
as it does on the forward strand when
both are read in the same orientation.
6. TYPES OF RESTRICTION ENZYMES:
Naturally occurring restriction
endonucleases are categorized into four
groups (Types I, II III, and IIs):
• Type I enzymes cleave DNA at
random sites more than 1kb from a
recognition site; ATP required. Ex:
EcoKI, EcoK12 etc..
• Type II enzymes cleave DNA within a
recognition site, do not require ATP,
most require divalent cation (Mg2++).
Ex: EcoRI, BamHI etc..
• Type III restriction enzymes (e.g.,
EcoP15) recognize two separate non-
palindromic sequences that are
inversely oriented. Ex: EcoP15 etc..
• Type IIs enzymes cleavage occurs on
one side of recognition sequence up to
20bp away. Ex: FauI, HphI etc...
7.
8. RESTRICTION MODIFICATION:
• Restriction-modification (R-M) systems
as defense mechanisms. R-M systems
recognize the methylation status of
incoming foreign DNA, e.g., phage
genomes.
• Methylated sequences are recognized as
self (bacterial genome), while recognition
sequences on the incoming DNA lacking
methylation are recognized as nonself and
are cleaved by the restriction
endonuclease (REase).
• The methylation status at the genomic
recognition sites is maintained by the
cognate methyltransferase (MTase) of the
R-M system.
• The combination of restriction
endonuclease and methylase enzyme
termed as RESTRICTION
MODIFICATION(RM) SYSTEM.
Fig: Bacterial cell is protecting as self
methylated sequence from phage DNA.
9. METHYLATION:
• In bacteria, DNA
methylation is used as a
signal for the regulation of a
specific DNA-protein
interaction.
• Typical sites of methylation
include the N6 position of
Adenine, the N4 position of
Cytosine or the C5 position of
Cytosine residue.
• Dam methylase is responsible
for N-residue of Adenine and
Dcm methylase is responsible
for methylation of Cytosine.
10. Nomenclature of R.E:
• Since their discovery in the 1970s, many
restriction enzymes have been identified.
• More than 3500 different Type II
restriction enzymes have been
characterized.
• Using a naming system based on
bacterial GENUS, SPECIES and
STRAIN.
• E.C. number of EcoRI enzyme is
3.1.23.13.
• HindII enzyme: Genus: Haemophilus
Species: influenzae; Strain: Rd and
second identified.

11. APPLICATIONS OF RESTRICTION ENZYMES:
• They are used to assist insertion of genes into plasmid vectors during gene
cloning and protein production experiments.
• Restriction enzymes are used to digest genomic DNA for gene analysis by
Southern Blot.
