Methylation Motifs in Promoter Sequences May Contribute to the Maintenance of a Conserved <sup>m5</sup>C Methyltransferase in <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>

Methylation Motifs in Promoter Sequences May Contribute to the Maintenance of a Conserved <sup>m5</sup>C Methyltransferase in <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>

DNA methylomes of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> strains are complex due to the large number of DNA methyltransferases (MTases) they possess. <i>H. pylori</i> J99 M.Hpy99III is a 5-methylcytosine (<sup>m5</sup>C) MTase that converts GCGC motifs to G<sup>m5</s...
