[Purification of recombinant DNA methyltransferase M2.BstSE from nickase-modification system NM.BstSEI and study of the enzyme properties].

The operon of nickase-modification system from Bacillus stearothermophilus SE-589 (recognition site 5'-GAGTC-3') includes two DNA methyltransferase genes: bstSEIM1 and bstSEIM2. Gene encoding DNA methyltransferase M2.BstSEI was cloned in pJW vector and expressed in E.
