UniProt functional annotation for P04043

UniProt code: P04043.

Organism: Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Lactobacillales; Streptococcaceae; Streptococcus.
 
Function: This methylase recognizes the double-stranded sequence GATC, causes specific methylation on A-2 on both strands, and protects the DNA from cleavage by the DpnII endonuclease.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a 2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = an N(6)-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine in DNA + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15197, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12418, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:12419, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:90615, ChEBI:CHEBI:90616; EC=2.1.1.72;
Subunit: Homodimer.
Miscellaneous: The DpnII restriction system has two different methylases.
Similarity: Belongs to the N(4)/N(6)-methyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
