Amplification and function analysis of N6-adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase gene in Nilaparvata lugens
2016-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Methylation of the N6 position of adenine, termed N6-methyladenine, protects DNA from restriction endonucleases via the host-specific restriction-modification system. N6-methyladenine was discovered and has been well studied in bacteria. N6-adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase (N6AMT) is the main enzyme catalyzing the methylation of the adenine base and knowledge of this enzyme was mainly derived from work in pr...
