A novel restriction-modification (R-M) system, designated as xveIIRM, from chromosomal DNA of the Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria strain 7-1 (Xcv7-1) was cloned and characterized. The xveIIRM genes involved in this R-M system are aligned in a tail-to-tail orientation and overlapped by 12 base pairs. XveII methyltransferase gene could encode a 299-amino acid protein (M.XveII) with an estimated mass of 33.7 kDa and was classified to be a member of beta-class of m4C-MTase. M.XveII methylates the second cytosine of the 5'-CCCGGG-3' recognition sequence. The predicted amino acid sequence of the intact XveII endonuclease shared 41.9% identity with SmaI. However, a premature TAA translation termination codon was found in the open reading frame of xveIIR and expected to encode an 18.3 kDa truncated protein. The sequence data are consistent with observation of this study that no SmaI-like restriction activity could be detected in the cell extract of Xcv7-1.

Acoording to the telomere-repeated sequences of rice, two primers: (TTTAGGG11)(3) and (CCC-TAA.A)(3)CCC were used to amplify rice telomere-assciated sequences (TASs). Fox PCR template preparation. total DNA was digested with restrictive endonuclease and then ligated. Using the ligates or total DNA sa template, eight fragments were obtained with the single primer by the PCR reaction. To confirm that the sequences are derived from telomeric DNA, we conducted Bal31 digestion analysis. Of the eight fragments, seven were susceptible to Bal31 treatment, suggesting that they were TASs. These DNA fragments were further demonstrated u, be rice sub-telomeric sequences by RFLP mapping Five sequences have been mapped to the distal ends on rice chromme 5,6,7 and 9, and two other sequences have been mapped at interstitial sites, suggesting that (TTTAGGG)(n). also exist in the middle of rice chromosomes-All eight fragments were sequenced and characterized.
