Methylation of adenine and cytosine residues in DNA isolated from common strains of Escherichia coli K-12 can render that DNA resistant to cleavage by certain restriction endonucleases at those sites at which the recognition sequence for such an endonuclease overlaps (but does not include) a sequence recognized by methylases specified by the dam or dcm gene.
从大肠杆菌K-12常见菌株中分离出的DNA中,腺嘌呤和胞嘧啶残基的甲基化可使该DNA在某些限制性内切酶的识别序列与由dam或dcm基因指定的甲基化酶识别的序列重叠(但不包括)的位点处,对这些限制性内切酶的切割产生抗性。
