Abstract excerpt
ClpXP-dependent proteolysis has been implicated in the delayed detection of restriction activity after the acquisition of the genes (hsdR, hsdM, and hsdS) that specify EcoKI and EcoAI, representatives of two families of type I restriction and modification (R-M) systems. Modification, once established, has been assumed to provide adequate protection against a resident restriction system. However, unmodified...
