ABSTRACT S-Adenosylmethionine lyase (SAMase) of bacteriophage T3 degrades the intracellular SAM pools of the host Escherichia coli cells, thereby inactivating a crucial metabolite involved in a plethora of cellular functions, including DNA methylation. SAMase is the first viral protein expressed upo...
