Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli K-12 restriction enzyme Mrr recognizes and cleaves N6-methyladenine- and 5-methylcytosine-containing DNA. Its amino acid sequence has been subjected to structure prediction and comparison with other sequences from publicly available sources. The results obtained suggest that Mrr and related putative endonucleases possess a cleavage domain typical for all the so far structurally characterized...
