Diversification of the restriction–modification system of <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> through its acquisition of mobile elements
2020-07-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Restriction–modification (RM) systems are typically regarded as “primitive immune systems” in bacteria. The roles of methylation in gene regulation, segregation, and mismatch repair are increasingly recognized. To analyze methyltransferase (MTase) diversity in Streptococcus pyogenes , we compared the RM system distribution in eight new complete genome sequences obtained here and in the database...
