Abstract excerpt

The Chlorella virus IL-3A gene encoding the DNA methyltransferase M.CviJI, which methylates the internal cytosine in (G/A)GC(T/C/G) sequences, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The region containing the M.CviJI gene was sequenced and a single open reading frame of 1101 bp was identifi...
