In the absence of added DNA, thermophilic DNA polymerases synthesize double-stranded DNA from free dNTPs, which consist of numerous repetitive units (ab initio DNA synthesis). The addition of thermophilic restriction endonuclease (REase), or nicking endonuclease (NEase), effectively stimulates ab initio DNA synthesis and determines the nucleotide sequence of reaction products. We have found that NEases Nt.AlwI, Nb.BbvCI, and Nb.BsmI with non-palindromic recognition sites stimulate the synthesis of sequences organized mainly as palindromes. Moreover, the nucleotide sequence of the palindromes appeared to be dependent on NEase recognition/cleavage modes. Thus, the heterodimeric Nb.BbvCI stimulated the synthesis of palindromes composed of two recognition sites of this NEase, which were separated by AT-reach sequences or (A)(n)(T) (m) spacers. Palindromic DNA sequences obtained in the ab initio DNA synthesis with the monomeric NEases Nb. BsmI and Nt.AlwI contained, along with the sites of these NEases, randomly synthesized sequences consisted of blocks of short repeats. These findings could help investigation of the potential abilities of highly productive ab initio DNA synthesis for the creation of DNA molecules with desirable sequence.
