Abstract excerpt
Proteins of the Ard family are specific inhibitors of type I restriction-modification enzymes. The ArdA of R64 is highly homologous to ColIb-P9 ArdA, differing only by four amino acid residues of the overall 166. However, unlike ColIb-P9 ArdA, which inhibits both the endonuclease and the methylase activities of EcoKI, the R64 ArdA protein inhibits only the endonuclease activity of this enzyme. The mutant forms of...
