Journal ArticleDOI

A nomenclature for restriction enzymes, DNA methyltransferases, homing endonucleases and their genes

Richard J. Roberts, +46 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nomenclature for restriction endonucleases, DNA methyltransferases, homing endon nucleases and related genes and gene products is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Methylase Mutants of Escherichia coli K-12

TL;DR: Seven DNA methylation mutants isolated from Escherichia coli K-12 were defective in their ability to restrict lambda and none of the mutations had the effect of being lethal.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dam and dcm strains of Escherichia coli — a review

TL;DR: The most commonly used mutant alleles of dam and dcm are described and the characteristics of a variety of the strains that carry these genes are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roles of DNA adenine methylation in host-pathogen interactions: mismatch repair, transcriptional regulation, and more

TL;DR: Evidence that Dam methylation regulates virulence genes in Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Yersinia at the posttranscriptional level is found, especially intriguing is the evidence that dams play roles in host-pathogen interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dam methylation: coordinating cellular processes.

TL;DR: The origin and phylogeny of DamMT, based on sequenced genomes, has been deduced and it is shown that in certain bacteria, unlike E. coli, DamMT is essential for viability.
