A genetic and functional analysis of the unusually large variable region in the M.AluI DNA-(cytosine C5)-methyltransferase.

Abstract excerpt

The M.AluI DNA-(cytosine C5)-methyltransferase (5mC methylase) acts on the sequence 5'-AGCT-3'. The amino acid sequences of known 5mC methylases contain ten conserved motifs, with a variable region between Motifs VIII and IX that contains one or more "target-recognizing domains" (TRDs) responsible for DNA sequence specificity. Monospecific 5mC methylases are believed to have only one TRD, while multispecific 5mC...
