New type II restriction endonucleases AsiI and Bsp40091 are detected in Azotobacter species N55 and Bacillus species 4009, respectively. Purified preparations of the restriction enzymes free from interfering nucleases and phosphatases were obtained by column chromatography on phosphocellulose and heparin-sepharose (Asil) and phosphocellulose and DEAE-cellulose (Bsp40091). The yield of purified AsiI and Bsp40091 was 16 x 10(3) and 8 x 10(3) units per g of wet cells, respectively. The above restriction endonucleases recognize the 5'-G decreases GATCC-3' sequence on double-stranded DNA and cleave it as shown, thus being true isoschizomers of BamHI restriction endonuclease.

Background: Leptospirosis is an acute zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic , primarily transmitted to humans through contact with water or soil contaminated by the bacteria. It is globally distributed, with heightened prevalence in tropical regions. While prior studies have examined the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and risk factors of leptospirosis, few have explored trends and emerging topics in the field.

Type II restriction-modification (R-M) systems play a pivotal role in bacterial defense against invading DNA, influencing the spread of pathogenic traits. These systems often involve coordinated expression of a regulatory protein (C) with restriction (R) enzymes, employing complex feedback loops for regulation. Recent studies highlight the crucial balance between R and M enzymes in controlling horizontal gene transfer (HGT).

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastrointestinal malignancy, and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is the principal chemotherapeutic drug used for its treatment. However, 5-FU resistance remains a significant challenge. Under stress conditions, tumor metabolic reprogramming influences 5-FU resistance.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor with high prevalence in southern China. Aberrant DNA methylation, as a hallmark of cancer, is extensively present in NPC, the detection of which facilitates early diagnosis and prognostic improvement of NPC. Conventional methylation detection methods relying on bisulfite conversion have limitations such as time-consuming, complex processes and sample degradation; thus, a more rapid and efficient method is needed.
