M.Smal is an N4-methylcytosine specific DNA-methylase.
An enzymatic activity rendering DNA immune to the action of the Smal restriction endonuclease in the presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine has been detected in Serratia marcescens Sb. This methylase, M.Smal, modifies the second cytosine residue of the substrate sequence CCCGGG yielding N4-methylcytosine.
متن کاملN4-methylcytosine as a minor base in bacterial DNA.
The DNA base composition, including the minor base content, of 26 strains of bacteria was determined. The studied bacteria are sources of widely used restriction endonucleases. Approximately 35% of the bacterial DNAs contained N4-methylcytosine, about 60% contained 5-methylcytosine, and about 90% had N6-methyladenine.
متن کاملA cyclobutane thymine–N4-methylcytosine dimer is resistant to hydrolysis but strongly blocks DNA synthesis
Exposure of DNA to ultraviolet light produces harmful crosslinks between adjacent pyrimidine bases, to form cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproducts. The CPD is frequently formed, and its repair mechanisms have been exclusively studied by using a CPD formed at a TT site. On the other hand, biochemical analyses using CPDs formed within cytosine-containing ...
متن کاملBase-resolution detection of N4-methylcytosine in genomic DNA using 4mC-Tet-assisted-bisulfite- sequencing
Restriction-modification (R-M) systems pose a major barrier to DNA transformation and genetic engineering of bacterial species. Systematic identification of DNA methylation in R-M systems, including N(6)-methyladenine (6mA), 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and N(4)-methylcytosine (4mC), will enable strategies to make these species genetically tractable. Although single-molecule, real time (SMRT) sequenc...
متن کاملMethSMRT: an integrative database for DNA N6-methyladenine and N4-methylcytosine generated by single-molecular real-time sequencing
DNA methylation is an important type of epigenetic modifications, where 5- methylcytosine (5mC), 6-methyadenine (6mA) and 4-methylcytosine (4mC) are the most common types. Previous efforts have been largely focused on 5mC, providing invaluable insights into epigenetic regulation through DNA methylation. Recently developed single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology provides a unique ...
