Abstract excerpt
Eco KI, a type I restriction enzyme, specifies DNA methyltransferase, ATPase, endonuclease and DNA translocation activities. One subunit (HsdR) of the oligomeric enzyme contributes to those activities essential for restriction. These activities involve ATP-dependent DNA translocation and DNA cleavage. Mutations that change amino acids within recognisable motifs in HsdR impair restriction. We have used an in vivo...
