B. subtilis phage SPbeta and Moraxella sp. code for DNA methyltransferases which methylate both cytosines of the sequence 5'CCGG. Experiments using a B. subtilis strain whose DNA is sensitive to HpaII and resistant to MspI degradation, indicated that methylation of the outer C of this sequence provides protection against the restriction enzyme MspI.
枯草芽孢杆菌噬菌体SPbeta和莫拉克斯氏菌属编码DNA甲基转移酶,该酶可使序列5'CCGG的两个胞嘧啶甲基化。使用DNA对HpaII敏感且对MspI降解具有抗性的枯草芽孢杆菌菌株进行的实验表明,该序列外部胞嘧啶的甲基化可提供对限制酶MspI的保护。
