DNA methyltransferase CcrM

UniProtKB accession:  P0CAW2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  A beta subtype methylase that recognizes the double-stranded sequence 5'-GANTC-3' and methylates non-modifed A-2 on the hemimethylated, post-replicative DNA (Probable) (PubMed:12654995) (By similarity). Opens a bubble in the DNA at the recognition site, allowing precise recognition of the sequence and ensuring enzyme specificity (PubMed:31601797). Functions only in the predivisional cell. Responsible for 5'-GANTC-3' methylation in the cell; methylation of hemimethylated sites generated after replication fork passage occurs late in the predivisional cell, near completion of chromosome replication but prior to cell division. Contributes to the accurate cell-cycle control of DNA replication and cellular morphology (By similarity).
