Molecular insights into DNA recognition and methylation by non-canonical type I restriction-modification systems

Type I R-M systems help establish the prokaryotic DNA methylation landscape and provide protection against invasive DNA. Here, the authors report on detailed structural and molecular mechanisms of a non-canonical type I R-M methyltransferase.
