A1: Yes, it recognizes the same sequence and cleaves at the same place. Both are blocked by SssI (CG) methylase (5-methyl cytosine).
Q2: Are TaiI and TscI isoschizomers of HpyCH4IV?
A2: TaiI and TscI are neoschizomers of HpyCH4IV. The recognize the same site but cut at a different location. TaiI is blcoked by SssI and TscI has not been tested.
Q3: Is HpyCH4IV affected by methylation?
A3: Yes, it is blocked by 5-methyl cytosine which can be found in mammalian DNA.
