EcoRI methylase is able to catalyze methy incorporation into DNA at sequences other than the canonical EcoRI site. At high enzyme concentrations and over a wide range of pH and ionic strengths, EcoRI methylase modifies polyoma DNA (which contains one EcoRI site) at a number of sites. This modification prevents EcoRI endonuclease activity, and thus is presumably at or near the EcoRI sequences (5') NAATTN.
EcoRI甲基化酶能够催化在非典型EcoRI位点的序列处将甲基掺入DNA。在高酶浓度以及广泛的pH和离子强度范围内,EcoRI甲基化酶会在多个位点修饰多瘤病毒DNA(其含有一个EcoRI位点)。这种修饰会阻止EcoRI核酸内切酶的活性,因此推测是在EcoRI序列(5')NAATTN处或其附近。
