NlaIII

NlaIII is a type II restriction enzyme isolated from Neisseria lactamica.

[2] This results in further degradation of the fragmented foreign DNA and prevents it from infecting the host genome.

[3]NlaIII recognizes the palindromic and complementary DNA sequence of CATG/GTAC and cuts outside of the G-C base pairs.

[9] H. pylori infection often leads to gastrointestinal issues such as peptic ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma.

[10] Researchers speculate that ICEA proteins serve as potential markers for gastric cancer [7] NlaIII isoschizomers recognize and cut the same recognition sequence 5’-CATG-3’.
