REBASE—a database for DNA restriction and modification: enzymes, genes and genomes

TLDR
REBASE is a comprehensive and fully curated database of information about the components of restriction-modification (RM) systems that contains fully referenced information about recognition and cleavage sites for both restriction enzymes and methyltransferases as well as commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal and sequence data.
Abstract
REBASE is a comprehensive and fully curated database of information about the components of restriction-modification (RM) systems. It contains fully referenced information about recognition and cleavage sites for both restriction enzymes and methyltransferases as well as commercial availability, methylation sensitivity, crystal and sequence data. All genomes that are completely sequenced are analyzed for RM system components, and with the advent of PacBio sequencing, the recognition sequences of DNA methyltransferases (MTases) are appearing rapidly. Thus, Type I and Type III systems can now be characterized in terms of recognition specificity merely by DNA sequencing. The contents of REBASE may be browsed from the web http://rebase.neb.com and selected compilations can be downloaded by FTP (ftp.neb.com). Monthly updates are also available via email.

Finding CRISPR's Niche: Oxygen and Temperature Shape the Incidence of Adaptive Immunity

TL;DR: A strong but hitherto-unknown negative interaction between CRISPR and aerobicity is discovered, which it is hypothesize may result from interference betweenCRISPR associated proteins and DNA repair due to oxidative stress.

The DNA cytosine methylome revealed two methylation motifs in the upstream regions of genes related to morphological and physiological differentiation in Streptomyces coelicolor A(3)2 M145

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported the cytosine methylome of S. coelicolor A(3)2 M145 in solid sporulating and liquid non-sporulating complex media.

Bci528I, a new isoschizomer of EcoRI isolated from Bacillus circulans 528.

TL;DR: Bacillus circulans 528 produces a restriction endonuclease, Bci528I which is an isoschizomer of EcoRI which cleaves between G and A of the recognition sequence, producing a symmetric four base 5′overhang.

The core genome m5C methyltransferase JHP1050 (M.Hpy99III) plays an important role in orchestrating gene expression in Helicobacter pylori

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that motifs overlapping the promoter influence the expression of genes directly, while methylation of other motifs might cause secondary effects, affecting important phenotypic traits that include adherence to host cells, natural competence for DNA uptake, bacterial cell shape, and susceptibility to copper.

The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt)

TL;DR: During 2004, tens of thousands of Knowledgebase records got manually annotated or updated; the UniProt keyword list got augmented by additional keywords; the documentation of the keywords and are continuously overhauling and standardizing the annotation of post-translational modifications.
