APIS107 dam restriction-modification (RM) CLAN045 Escherichia phage T4 PMID:6307815 DNA adenine methylases methylate adenine residues in specific sequences, the methylation site of the host Escherichia coli dam+ methylase. Methylation protects the site against cleavage by the MboI restriction nuclease.
APIS136 hia5 restriction-modification (RM) CLAN045 Haemophilus influenzae PMID:22102579 hin1523, nma1821 and hia5 are all DNA adenine N6-methyltransferases. Plasmid DNA overexpressing these novel DNA methyltransferases was resistant to cleavage by many restriction enzymes sensitive to adenine methylation.
APIS136 hin1523 restriction-modification (RM) CLAN045 Haemophilus influenzae Rd KW20 PMID:22102579 hin1523, nma1821 and hia5 are all DNA adenine N6-methyltransferases. Plasmid DNA overexpressing these novel DNA methyltransferases was resistant to cleavage by many restriction enzymes sensitive to adenine methylation.
APIS136 nma1821 restriction-modification (RM) CLAN045 Neisseria meningitidis PMID:22102579 hin1523, nma1821 and hia5 are all DNA adenine N6-methyltransferases. Plasmid DNA overexpressing these novel DNA methyltransferases was resistant to cleavage by many restriction enzymes sensitive to adenine methylation.
APIS152 dmt restriction-modification (RM) CLAN045 Escherichia phage P1 PMID:14715260 DNA methyltransferase (M.EcoP1I) encoded by prophage P1, may protect the phage genome from restriction by type III restriction enzymes and thus could be considered as an anti-restriction system.
