N4-cytosine DNA methylation regulates transcription and pathogenesis in Helicobacter pylori
13 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Many bacterial genomes exclusively display an N4-methyl cytosine base (m4C), whose physiological significance is not yet clear. Helicobacter pylori is a carcinogenic bacterium and the leading cause of gastric cancer in humans. Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 harbors a single m4C cytosine methyltransferase, M2.HpyAII which recognizes 5' TCTTC 3' sequence and methylates the first cytosine residue. To understand...
