Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) plays essential roles in DNA replication, mismatch repair and gene regulation. The differential methylation by Dam of the two GATC sequences in the pap promoter regulates the expression of pili genes necessary for uropathogenic E.coli cellular adhesion. Dam processively methylates GATC sites in various DNA substrates, yet the two pap GATC sites are not...
