Abstract excerpt
The EcoDam and T4Dam DNA-(adenine N6)-methyltransferases both methylate the adenine residue in GATC sites. These enzymes are highly related in amino acid sequence, but they deviate in their contact to the first base pair of the target sequence. EcoDam contacts Gua1 with K9 (which corresponds to T...
