The LlaGI restriction and modification system of Lactococcus lactis W10 consists of only one single polypeptide.
The naturally occurring 12.1-kb plasmid, pEW104, in Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris W10 was found to confer decreased bacteriophage sensitivity to its host. Plasmid pEW104 encodes a non-classic restriction and modification (R/M) system, named LlaGI, consisting of only one single polypeptide. Analysis of the amino acid sequence revealed the presence of a catalytic motif and seven helicase-like ...
متن کاملDNA cleavage and methylation specificity of the single polypeptide restriction–modification enzyme LlaGI
LlaGI is a single polypeptide restriction-modification enzyme encoded on the naturally-occurring plasmid pEW104 isolated from Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris W10. Bioinformatics analysis suggests that the enzyme contains domains characteristic of an mrr endonuclease, a superfamily 2 DNA helicase and a gamma-family adenine methyltransferase. LlaGI was expressed and purified from a recombinant c...
متن کاملA type IC restriction-modification system in Lactococcus lactis.
Three genes coding for the endonuclease, methylase, and specificity subunits of a type I restriction-modification (R-M) system in the Lactococcus lactis plasmid pIL2614 have been characterized. Plasmid location, sequence homologies, and inactivation studies indicated that this R-M system is most probably of type IC.
متن کاملAn Mrr-family nuclease motif in the single polypeptide restriction–modification enzyme LlaGI
Bioinformatic analysis of the putative nuclease domain of the single polypeptide restriction-modification enzyme LlaGI reveals amino acid motifs characteristic of the Escherichia coli methylated DNA-specific Mrr endonuclease. Using mutagenesis, we examined the role of the conserved residues in both DNA translocation and cleavage. Mutations in those residues predicted to play a role in DNA hydro...
متن کاملLlaFI, a type III restriction and modification system in Lactococcus lactis.
We describe a type III restriction and modification (R/M) system, LlaFI, in Lactococcus lactis. LlaFI is encoded by a 12-kb native plasmid, pND801, harbored in L. lactis LL42-1. Sequencing revealed two adjacent open reading frames (ORFs). One ORF encodes a 680-amino-acid polypeptide, and this ORF is followed by a second ORF which encodes an 873-amino-acid polypeptide. The two ORFs appear to be ...
