The DNA of Escherichia coli contains 19,120 6-methyladenines and 12,045 5-
methylcytosines in addition to the four regular bases, and these are formed by the …

The construction of a variety of strains deficient in the methylation of adenine and cytosine
residues in DNA by the methyltransferases (MTases) Dam and Dcm has allowed the study of …

Although bacterial DNA methyltransferases are generally associated with restriction-
modification systems, DNA methylation also regulates chromosome replication …

Postreplicative DNA methylation superimposes on the fixed primary information of the DNA
sequence secondary information that has significance in the regulation of a variety of …

Like many eukaryotes, bacteria make widespread use of postreplicative DNA methylation for
the epigenetic control of DNA-protein interactions. Unlike eukaryotes, however, bacteria use …

The Escherichia coli dam adenine-N6 methyltransferase modifies DNA at GATC sequences.
It is involved in post-replicative mismatch repair, control of DNA replication and gene …

N6-methyl-adenine is found in the genomes of bacteria, archaea, protists and fungi. Most
bacterial DNA adenine methyltransferases are part of restriction–modification systems …

GATC sequences in Escherichia coli DNA are methylated at the adenine residue by DNA
adenine methyltransferase (DamMT). These methylated residues and/or the level of DamMT …

ABSTRACT DNA adenine methylation by DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) in
Escherichia coli plays an important role in processes such as DNA replication initiation …

Epigenetics is a change in gene expression that is heritable without a change in DNA
sequence itself. This phenomenon is well studied in eukaryotes, particularly in humans for …
