  1. aSqiI requires four m5C in GCWGC (4 m5C  3 m5C) for activity. The cut site of SqiI and MbaR4I was inferred from digestion of modified duplex oligos.
  2. bPairwise sequence alignment by EMBOSS Needle server (gap penalty = 10.0, extend penalty = 0.5). List of enzymes in descending order of aa sequence identity to BisI.
  3. cCut sites were determined by run-off sequencing of enzyme-digested pBRFM substrate. The cleavage efficiency of the modified site (3–4 m5C) was carried out on duplex oligos. The cut sites of Eco15I, Pan13I, Pru4541I, SmaAUI, Sve396I, and NhoI were determined by run-off sequencing of enzyme-digested pBRFM substrate (GCNGC sites with two or three m5C).
