Identification of a <italic toggle="yes">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</italic> PAO1 DNA Methyltransferase, Its Targets, and Physiological Roles

ABSTRACT DNA methylation is widespread among prokaryotes, and most DNA methylation reactions are catalyzed by adenine DNA methyltransferases, which are part of restriction-modification (R-M) systems. R-M systems are known for their role in the defense against foreign DNA; however, DNA methyltransfer...
