Abstract excerpt
The DNA adenine methyltransferase of Escherichia coli methylates adenines at GATC sequences. The mutant deficient in this methylase has no apparent deficiency in the cell division process in spite of the absence of both synchrony in initiations of chromosomal DNA replication and sequestration of replication origin (oriC) at hemimethylated state. However, the dam mutant cannot resume cell division after...
