Preface
Approximately 50 years ago the phenomenon of restriction was firstdescribed. This led later to the discovery of restriction (and modification)enzymes by Werner Arber, Daniel Nathans and Hamilton Smith who receivedthe Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1978"for the discovery of restriction enzymes and their application to problems of molecular genetics" . In retrospect, it is clear that the impact of this discovery was much greater: therewould be no recombinant DNA revolution and no gene technology withoutrestriction endonucleases. However,beyond their tremendous importance astools for the analysis and recombination of DNA, restriction enzymes haveprovided outstanding model systems to study many aspects of proteinnucleic acid interactions, e.g., how proteins find their target sites within agreat excess of non-specific sites, how short DNA sequences are recognizedwith such extreme accuracy, and how recognition is so efficiently coupled tocatalysis.
Restriction enzymes are usually part of restriction-modification (R-M)systems that serve to protect bacteria (Prokarya as well as Archaea) againstphage infections and uptake of foreign DNA. There are three main types (I,II and III) of restriction enzymes, which differ in subunit composition,cofactor requirement and mode of action. The best-studied (and most simple) ones are the Type II restriction endonucleases of which more than 3500are known . It was not recognized initially that restriction endonucleases areevolutionarily related, because - with few exceptions - they have little if anysequence homology. Only after the first crystal structures were determineddid it become clear that most Type II restriction endonucleases are relatedin evolution and that they share a similar active site with Type I and IIIrestriction endonucleases. The diversity of restriction enzymes makes themfascinating objects for studying the evolution of a family of enzymes with acommon basic function - highly specific DNA recognition and cleavage.Surprisingly, with probably only very few exceptions, they do not seem to berelated to another family of site-specific endonucleases, the homing endonucleases.
VI Preface
In the last few years, considerable progress has been made regarding themechanism of action of restriction enzymes . Still, many open questionsremain, even very basic ones. For example, there is not yet a consensus on themechanism of target site location or the details of the mechanism of DNAcleavage,and only little is known about the conformational changes followinginitial DNA binding by restriction endonucleases and leading to the activation of their catalytic centers. Major challenges remain, the most ambitiousone being to use the knowledge that we have regarding structure-functionrelationships of these enzymes to engineer variants with new specificities.
I am very pleased that so many of the top scientists in the field could beconvinced to provide chapters and I am grateful to them for taking the time todo so. The result of their efforts is a book that represents the most detailedaccount of restriction endonucleases currently available.
