Abstract excerpt
For type I restriction systems, recently determined nucleotide sequences predict conserved amino acids in the subunit that is essential for restriction but not modification (HsdR). The conserved sequences emphasize motifs characteristic of the DEAD-box family of proteins which comprises putative helicases, and they identify a new candidate for motif IV. We provide evidence based on an analysis of Eco KI which...
