We have carried out an analysis of the Escherichia coli K-12 mcrBC locus in order to (1) elucidate its genetic organization, (2) to identify the proteins encoded by this region, and (3) to characterize their involvement in the restriction of DNA containing methylated cytosine residues. In vitro expression of recombinant plasmids carrying all or portions of the mcrBC region revealed that the mcrB and mcrC genes...
